may i suggest:
gutter guard grill. costs like 5 bucks, looks better than just taking off the "wings"
02-03 taillights will make your car 10 times better
try modding the headlights somehow, give it a cleaner look

other than that, nice car!

Thanks For Suggestions & Comment ..

Thats what i used for the grill . Gutter Guard which only costed like $1.38 at HomeDepot for a 6x18in. piece. Then i just got krylon glossy black rattle can & sprayed it after spraying a krylon white primer * cutting to fit was a BITCH ! (many cuts & scrapes) *

i Want 02-03 Tails hella bad

& for the headlights i want to paint the housing black but im too lazy to do that whole ovening process haha

If I ever buy a set of brand new wheels I will probably get those because they are lightweight and affordable.

looks much better now
you need the 02-03 tails though so that ugly amber doesnt take away from that mugen spoiler

ive seen the shocker around as like the jdm shocker, but what does it have to do with jdm (sorry for somewhat jacking your thread with this but i dont wanna open a new thread for a simple question)
