Nice... where did you buy the OEM lip kit? Raceappealkits? Also, did you black out your taillights yourself or someone did them for you? They look awesome! And what kind of rear deck lid do you have ?

i had ordered the lip kit from raceappealkits but they suck big floppy donkey dick dude. never responded to my emails or anything. i got my money back by calling paypal and putting in a complaint through there. took me 10 days but i got my money back. luckily, i found the lip kit locally super cheap.

by taillights i think u meant my headlights right? lol. a friend of mine did it for me since i had never done it. its easy though. pm me and ill tell u exactly how to do it with no prob.

rear deck lid im assuming is the roof spoiler? its just an m3 lip that was custom made to fit the roof. typical thing ppl do with the 2nd gens

i got the roof spoiler from the same guy i got the lipkit from. like i said before, its just those m3 rear lips that u can buy on ebay for like 40 bucks. all u gotta do is custom fit it for ur roof

Oh snap.. sorry for the confusion.. yeah I meant headlights. Hm.. you should either go for gold, gunmetal, or silver rims. They would flow nice imo. It would look nice though if those rims had a red trim around it!

Yup, I have the same exact grille on my 01=\... I think it's because mines NGM vs FPR so no one really noticed.

You only have to do a few things to the exterior and it'll look totally different.

Car looks good.

i have to disagree man..

i think 99-01 has alot of old school sedan qualities up front that were lost when they face lifted them in 02-03..

i rather enjoy my front ends style and prefer it to the 02-03s..

but it is an apples and oranges debate...

I had the 99-01 front end and i did the 02-03 conversion a couple of years ago and no regrets. But the 99-01 still bad ass, especially when its dropped!!!

Should look pretty hot with those wheels you have in mind. Careful though, those spokes stick out quite a bit so watch the curb! lol

sweet looking FPR. like the heads - i have a set in my garage that i'm considering the same treatment on but wasn't sure how it'd look on FPR.

the first pic looks kinda RRP/brownish - did you do anything beyond the standard wash and wax, i.e. polishing to bring it back? i agree on slightly more drop too.

the grill pops more because of the blacked heads.

love your car. very few cars that color look that way. i usually don't like black rims, but i like the concavity of those. lower it a bit more and you're set.

Those rims are going to make your car stand out even more! Make sure you run a stretched tire setup, makes the rims look more dope and give a little more room for a drop.
