Dood, I'm not trying to bust your balls, but seriously, do a search. I'm a newb here too and their search function is easy. Also, just go to the photo section and there are a lot of pix in there for your viewing pleasure. I got a bucnch of ideas that I'm going to go with from there. Such as the M3 spoiler. Have fun and welcome to AZ.

Did you get the 6speed? that makes the 03 more aggressive from the get go..
otherwise, lowering it makes it sleeker. I added a lot of interior mods, like alum dash, alum door sills, TSX shift knob. I also lowered mine, changed out most of the stock yellowish bulbs to PIAA whiter bulbs, added the 01 roadlamps, blacked out yellow diffusers, debadged the 3.2CLS TypeS. have fun, and welcome.

I like that interior, 132465SPEED. is that kind of thing a pain in the buttocks to do? does it just lay over the existing trim, or did you have to remove the old stuff before inserting the new?
