It's pretty clean...I'm with Soopa...the eye lids have to go. Also I don't like the banner, but other than that . You definitely get props for being different...don't take to heart what people say...do whatever you like, it is your car after all!

Where did you get that body kit? I like your car. Please post more pics of that baby and post the name of the site or company from where you got your kit from.

Clear Lights

2. Place headlights on a wet towel inside of an oven. Heat oven to 225 degrees. (Do not preheat)
3. After 10 minutes remove headlights from oven.
4. Seperate headlights by hand starting from the inner corner.
5. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Using a razor, trim excess silicone from the inside of the lens cover.

11. Add a fresh bead of silicon to the sealant channel on the black portion of the headlight housing.
12. Beginning from the outer side of the headlight, reattach the lens portion of the housing to the black portion.
13. Place reassembled headlight housing back in the 225 degree oven for 10 minutes.
14. Remove headlights and tighten lens to the back housing in each coner using bar clamps.
15. Allow 24 hours for silicone to cure.

Or a condensed form of Soopa's instructions (will only work for black housing tho)
1. Wake up
2. Get in car
3. Drive to dealer
4. Buy '03 Headlights
5. Wait while they are installed
6. *MOST IMPORTANT* Go to bar, drink lots of beer
7. Go home
8. Go to bed
9. Take a shit
:P

i think your car is ugly, then again, that's just my opinion, seems lots of other people think it looks great!
i commend your on being bold and doing what you like and not caring what others think!
