Default Finally.. 03 Z

Hello everyone,
I've actually registered on this forum a while ago and bought my Z a while ago too but finally decided to take pics and post, since I've been hearing so often that threads are useless without pics
So I decided to sell my '00 Civic SI with 148k miles on it and pick up an '03 Z with 73k miles on it and I'd say I'm a satisfied owner
Unfortunately there are some major cosmetic damages to the car, nothing wrong with the engine or interior so I just asked the previous owner to cut a chunk off the price
Here are some pics, also some suggestions regarding a new rear bumper would be nice, I think I'm going to go ahead and pick up another Nismo v2 Front Bumper with the canards, currently I have the Nismo rear add-ons but they're not molded on and they look horrible and I need to replace my rear bumper anyways. I'm a fan of the CS rear bumper but I don't like the vents, I know I can get those filled in but I'm trying to not have to take my car to the body shop to get things done, probably going to buy the parts pre-painted if possible. Also some suggestions regarding the color, I'm debating whether or not to just get everything whited out, or keep the canards and front lip black or carbon fiber and go with the half/half side skirts.. decisions decisions
Anyways just wanted to stop by and say hello, any suggestions would be nice.
Here's what I have on the car so far..
-Nismo v2 Front Bumper
-Rays Gram Lights 57 Maximum Time Attack Edition
-Nismo rear add-ons
-JWT PopCharger
-Nismo v2 Side Skirts
-Viper 5902 Remote Start Alarm w/ Tilt Sensor+Glass Breakage

Here's what I have on the to-do list so far..
-New Front Bumper
-New Rear Bumper
-06+ Headlights
-06+ Taillights
-New In-dash DVD deck
-Replace front windshield
-Trade rims..

Car looks good, just needs some tender love and car

Only thing I would do after fixing cosmetic damage is change out the wheels.

Thanks everyone
Got a 1500$ check from insurance for the hit and run so I'll be replacing some parts, most likely stick with a new v2 front and maybe swap to a CS rear bumper with the vents filled..
