Idea/sugestion:
DIY black housing ur headlights its free!well minus cost of paint...oh and about 40 bucks for the corner's but still saves money!! haha its not performance but hell its a fun project...should keep u busy and save u about 250 bucks (avarage of jdm look-alikes) and with that 250 buy ur self something to make ur car faster.....oh and 1 thing avoid all stickers hehe :nono:

nah, I'm getting the 4-door, in blue or black. Got a 2 month old baby, and it would be a pain in the butt putting a car seat in and out in a coupe. those coupes are damn fine lookin tho!!

Run a search on the forum, or the DIY site for instructions.

As for performance, I/H/E is the simplest way to go. Intake/Header/Exhaust. You only have one header btw, not headers. If you really care, then a High-Flow cat. can do a little too because the cats. on Japanese cars are very restrictive.
