What is a "beaty"?

As for the rims and lowering, depends on the wheels, and if you're gonna do koni yellows with springs, you might as well get the Tein Basic coilovers for the same cost or less even.

conversion run you about $1-2K without paint, used parts. Dont do it, 99-01 front is more luxury. 02-03 is sportier IMO.

So consider the Teins and also give us an idea of what wheels you're looking into.

The wheels should look good, but instead of doing the conversion just get the Mugen grille and black housing headlights from ebay.

To be honest I'm not crazy about either. Looks like something you would put on an RX7 or something.

maybe changing the look to him is worth while. I would be to me. Not every one is concerned about resale. It certainly wont hurt it. And not every one can just sell their car and buy a newer 02-03.

if its 06TL rims you talking about, than the Offset is Wrong. If you are planning to drop, Dont Drop it more than 1", they might rub. and in my opinion, 1" drop isnt that noticable on our cars since they look like 4x4 Stock. Gotta have atleast 1.5
Just my Opinion
