i do like the color, and i'm sure it's the crappy cell phone pics, but is it just me, or is the chrome sort of clashing with the paint? i feel like some 03 housings, and minor blackouts are in order, and some 30% tint.

Dude I absolutely friggin' love it, I can't even begin to describe how close to my taste in modding you must have. I love the color, almost reminds me of a lighter version of my old graphite gray pearl I had on my IS300. Wheels look sick, I really like seeing the red/clear tails and silver emblem, since I'm so used to seeing mine smoked/painted black. Overall just a great job modding time to save up for boost! 
By the way, wanted to say I definitely think you should go with the '03 headlights, especially since you took the clear driving lights out. The clear '01-'02 headlights only flow with the clear driving lights, IMO. But if you do go ahead with black housing '03 style, I would throw on some light window tint. It's amazing how much of a difference window tint adds to your car.

That's a tough call because without amber does look so damn clean, but at the same time I feel like it's almost somewhat younger, if that makes sense. I always think you never see a mature looking car all cleared out, at least I don't think so. Not only does amber look JDM, but it gives it a nice clean look. Something you might want to try that I did was putting clear bulbs in the turn signals, like you can see here:
This keeps the JDM look because the amber reflector is still there, but it's more clear because the turn signal is now clear. Anyway, your pics inspired me to order a set of Tein Basic's in the next week or so, any advice on going with them?

just a couple driveways, the narrow ones are the trickiest cause you cant get the approach angle you need to safely clear everything.
im not really scraping too bad when i say scrape, its more like i am just grazing the lip.
hehe you must have rode in tims car.
