Well there are plenty of us here to help if you can't find what you're looking for.

Starters would most likely be tint, rims, lowering, A-Spec kit, modding the head/tail lights and side marker lights.

Look here for the lighting, and if you follow my signature (bottom of all my posts) you can get a discount from that website.

Rims and tires you can look on tirerack.com, discount tire, and many other places, looking in the Tires, Wheels & Suspension section or the Photograph Gallery would be a good place to start looking for ideas.

The A-Spec lip kit can be bought by a vendor on this site by the name of AckTL05, here's the thread (link).

I would say start off with tints. Not all that expensive, and it makes the car look that much better.

For mods,
An A-Spec body kit makes car looks more ground hugging and "premium;"
Good window tint (Huper Optik) gives you nice heat rejection;
Coilovers and rear sway bar improve handling;
Intake resonator delete and cat-back exhaust improve throttle response and increase hp;

But if you don't track your car, going further than those is pretty much waste of money. Some day when you have an STI or GT-R then mod it to whatever you like. Just my .

And, welcome to the club!
