So no comments or recommendations? All are welcome...I thought somebody at least would hate the aftermarket driving lights!

not my idea of doen up a car but u like it so best of luck

I like it, nice color not too ricey of a car.
But lose the fog lights they don't fit well, and the front lip doesn't fit right/ is too big.

Interior pics? Engine bay? Pics of LEDs would be cool.
Was it re-painted?

Don't like the fogs or altezzas

And those e-bay corners... they don't have a reflector in them do they? You're better off getting the clear kind that does have a reflector and tinting them so at least the light gets evenly spread out, instead of just coming from the tiny bulb.

Wheels are too big and all aftermarket lighting needs to go.

Here is a pic of the trunk. Rear strut tower brace installed with a subwoofer that fits right underneath it. Also, I was able to make some small incisions into the factory carpet kit to maintain a factory like look and still have plenty of room for groceries. I'm doing the battery relocation to the trunk next. I have the 27mm Progress rear sway bar too so its nice and stiff in the rear and when you push the car hard it oversteers nicely instead of the front wheels sliding out!

I like the aftermarket LEDs. You can see the difference from the factory "yellow" versus the white light you get from LEDs.

Miniloguy - killer motor and trans you have! HID lighting does wonders for extra vision when you decide to exceed the limits of speed!

Starting to do the wire tuck thing...this took about 15 min. To do this right though extending wires are going to be absolutely necessary!

It has been repainted. Paint job is average and since I have decided to keep the car for a commuter, I may paint it, but after the EuroR H22 and LSD upgrade.

Looks good my friend!
