Welcome and congratulations. Nice color choice.

+1 on exhaust tips, they look pushed out too far.

Thanks guys.
Not sure about the exhaust tips. I know it had some mods to the exhaust system but haven't had a chance to look yet..

OH HELLS NO on the lights..... they look cheap and they are FUGLY. you want the 06-08 headlights, they are expensive (about 700 each) but your saving grace would be to find the depot brand headlights, they are about 400 a pair and look identical to the oem 06-08 ones.

Stay away from eBay headlights, unless you can find a pair of the Depot brand.

I would recommend saving up a bit more and go for the 06-08 headlights.

Many people have run them, just search a little and you will learn everything you need to know on swapping over to them.

The hood, please don't. Your car has a lightweight aluminum hood on it. Unless you are tracking the **** out of it, there are no need for vents. If you really feel the need, at least wait till you have more aggressive wheels, bumpers and side skirts to go with it.

Thank you Terrasmak.
I am just looking at all the options available.Like a kid in a candy store lol.

So there shouldn't be too many issues to fit these lights onto my car?
I will read more about the light swapping.. I read a little bit but sleepy and couldnt absorb it all heh.

Are there taillights that would match well with these headlights?
What would you suggest? I think Black would look good on a red car.

How about Louvers with leds for the back window? (just kidding :-P)
