Nice rims, paint the grill, if you can afford it get the side skirts and rear skirt painted at the same time. Get EURO style clears instead of the "thousand triangle" ones. Euro are completely clear and smooth inside. Take pics with lights off. Put other emblems on... the chrome ones. Lastly, Black housings look good on that color. Oh and put some black mesh behind that grill.

Thanks for the input,
The black housing headlights is on my to-do list. I will buy some black JDM corners to go with them. I have had euro corners and really don't like them. Mesh is also on my to-do list. I have gone back and forth on whether to paint the mouldings or not. Some people say the black goes well with my wheels. I am pretty sure I want to paint the grill too.

the black skirts do go well with the wheels... but personally I would say paint them if you can...
The JDM headlights & corners would be a very nice touch. I would also say to put the stock red rear bumper lights back in... the clears stand out like a sore thumb... the red will blend in much better. while im on the subject of the lights... tint the front bumper lights or something, so when you get the JDM headlights, they match better... if they are left alone they, too, will stand out too much.
Other than that... just paint that grille... match it to the car... and some mesh behind it. I'd leave the lower "mouth" alone, except for maybe some nice factory fog lights. A slight drop, if you want one... maybe 1.5"... just to tuck the wheels better.
Im not big on black rims... but if its done right, it looks good... as it is now, you have dark wheels, dark windows, dark car, and headlights, corners, and front and rear bumper lenses that dont fit with the dark theme.
I know how it is not to have everything you want at once!! it sucks!

Thanks for the input. My JDM headlights are on the way. I will be retinting some time this winter while the prices are low cause the previous owner put cheap tint on and it is starting to turn purple. I will also be getting my skirting (front rear and sides) and grill painted this winter. The antenna is staying - I like it.
