sorry dent I can do it with imageshack.us but not with your photobucket.

or just like the upload files button and then upload the picture, then put embed in post before you post it.

honestly unless your changing the outside color of your car I would keep your engine bay stock look
your car will look alot cleaner that way.
same with your brake calipers. you see mine as blue, but they will match the color of my car pretty well. or I may just make them black

and most car clubs will not count that as a mod if they require a certain number of mods to the car.

as for brighter lights I would go with a HID kit. you can get them on ebay
or that 365motorwerks guy posted some sales on them. usually about 150-250


some sites to keep in mind
www.corksport.com
www.nopi.comgo to the catalog
www.summitracing.com


I would probably go
intake
short shifter
springs/struts(might as well get higher performance ones)
and then from there, maybe the tint.

well, with the painted calipers, my black wheels will stand out more, and at a quick glance, it will look like i have brembo's.
besides, im getting them done for free, part of the wheel/tire package

and im trying to go the somewhat cheaper way, (with buying springs over coilovers.
im just leasing, and im only 19, so theres a limit on what i can do with my car.
but trust me, my engine bay will look SICK when it's done

U better hurry up and clean that salt off cuz my friend had some nice foose chrome rims on his acura and that salt just ruined those rims quick thats why u see alot of people (the smart ones) switch there rims with poopers or stock ones when it snows.
