First check NJ laws about the tinting, I tinted my tails on my last car and ended up with a moving violation for it, increasing my points/insurance cost. It might look really good but in some states (MA) they are targeting specific mods like this to pull someone over.

Not a fan of the body colour, body kit, or wheels.

I can appreciate the execution though.

Polish or color matching the spokes on the wheels will make them work and can be done for under $500 easy. Not a fan of tinting tail lights but if ya did i would also paint the inside of the headlights black and remove the orange strip. On a side note i think gloss black wheels would look awesome

Definitley keeping the wheels until I come across the Gramlights with the titanium lip. Not looking to kill the resale value of the DPEs... I like them like they are. I want 06-08 headlights for sure, but Im not droppng another $1100 into headlights when te car will only be on the road another month or two at most. The next major thing will b turbo. Next spring she will be done...

I'm going to try to install the coilovers and spacers this Friday. I'm procrastinating because the toe bolts sound like a ***** to do. . I also need to build some ramps, because there will be no way to get a jack under this thing with it lowered..

Toe...bolt is not to hard to do if you have a dremel with the right tools.
