The street light reflection in the first picture is distracting (sorry, your car deserves better!), but great pics otherwise, clean look.

i was thinking about smoking the side markers, but since it`s a plastic black cover sort of like a fruit leather type sticky, it`s hard to do them on sidemarkers. it will look ghetto. im thinking about smoking the front headlight signals.

BTW, which aspec rims do you guys think it will look good with black: sparkle silver, chrome, hyper gun metal?

or should i get aftermarket rims? like 19" or 20"? im kinda saving my money aside for the comptech supercharger since im a student at uti planning to install it my self after school in the shop.

I would strongly suggest against the A-Spec wheels, they are played out and too common for your car. Definently with Accuratein on this one, black spoke wheels with a silver polished lip will complete the look as far as wheels go. Also I think if you painted your calipers in the front and back black, that would look great too, it would be cheap as well..

As far as the headlights and rear side markers go, yeah black out your turn signals in the front, their is a place in glendale that does it, PM if you want the information. The rear side markers can be taken out and tinted with a spray, thats how a good shop would tint them. Good luck with the car. I love it, if i didnt have a WDP I would have gotten black, and blacked the whole thing out, and basically done everything I'm telling you to do.

I think the tein s-tech springs that mugen on his car, would fit this vehicle very well. $150 too, alot cheaper than the $650 A-Spec suspension, and you could put the money towards a great set of wheels or getting the headlights smoked...

don`t you think as in handling of the a spec suspension would perform better than just tein springs with stock shocks?

I had A-Spec it handled very nicely, however to be honest I think the comptech rear sway bar does more than the a-spec suspension ever did...
