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

UGH!!!
so not even two weeks after i put my rims on, we get 2 f'ing centinmeters of snow..
i woke up this morning, and saw white....
holy ****, i am so pissed... like, it was practically 15 degrees C out the past two weeks, and then this **** happens.
so im not about to ruin my $1400 rims and tires here, not to mention mt tires arent even made for winter, more or less summer....
so it looks like i'll be walking everywhere till this flipping snow melts....

RE: dentinger's progress page
exactly.. winter ended weeks ago..
its time for rain, sun, and flowers...
not cold, clouds, and snow...
the salt on the roads wont damage my rims at all will they??
cuz they're already covered in spots that i can wipe off.... (only on the chrome lip tho...)

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.
