Get the headlights if you have to get something Now. If not, save up for the Comptechs.

anyone got comptechs they'd like to let go ~ $600?

However, no one's had any issues with cracks or weld quality on the alphawerks right? Everyone seems to be happy w/ how they're holding up? I intend to keep this car for @least another 3-4 years or so....

Basically though, one could argue that modding a heavy FWD boat for speed would be useless too... I'm just wondering what ya'll prefer...

style or speed...

Make the headlights you have look like the '03's yourself. Save money, buy headers..

I don't even like my headlights, I prefer the chrome of the 01-02... but at least mine match my ABP paint code. They look good on a black car too.

Trust me, get the headers.
