Sedan is done!! (Updated) Hey everyone,
I finally have my sedan the way I want it. I ended up going for more of a stock look. Alot of the questionable rice is gone, including indiglo gauges and altezza grill. I also installed sidemarkers and got new rims. Thanks to everyone here who helped me with ideas or parts. I would not have come this far and learned so much without you. Let me know what you think!

looks hella clean. i woulda tinted it before the neons.
IMO the neons kinda make it look rice. it's all SOOO clean until the neons come up.
just my opinion.
good job though! gotta love sedans!

Rep Power: 812 Lol. Yes it is, Falken. As for the neons, when they're off you can't even tell I have them. Doesn't count IMO. The altezza grill isn't rice, but it just wasn't going well because the rest of my car is mostly stock. Tint here is illegal on the front windows, so no for that. A drop would be nice, and I may think about it.
well u did say in ur post the noticeable rice is gone. gauges and the grill. i was just sayin how is a grill rice? just askin. i got underbodies to. nuffin wrong with neons i was just sayin cuz u said the altezza grill is rice but u got neons. just sounded wierd.

Rep Power: 812 1siksivik--sorry. What I meant to say was the grill looks rice on MY car. I noticed you have the grill. It looks really sweet on your ride since it's more heavily modded.

one thing that might look great is an oem spoiler. Do that and then I think your ride would look 5 times better. Don't get me wrong it looks awesome as is but oem spoiler would look great.
Its a celebration bitches!

Rep Power: 812 I know, neons are rice. But at least the tubes don't show and they're not on most of the time. 
The last thing I want to do is paint the washer nozzles silver. Maybe drop in the future.

Rep Power: 424 It needs to be lowered about 1 inch. Nothing major, but enough that you can get the wheels to fit symmetric in the wells. Right now you can tell there's a big gap on top, and not so much on the sides. Wheels look clean on a 4 dr.

Rep Power: 812 What do you guys suggest for lowering? I don't want to go too low and scrape everywhere. Roads are terrible here. I'm also worried about ride quality and stuff. What about camber kits? My stock tires are already worn bad.
I guess I'll be on the suspension forum now

I say get Eibach prokit or Tein s tech springs and replace shocks later on. You wont need camber kit with minor drop.

I love the sedan, anyone selling some SI wheels? I plan to powdercoat them black
.The neons are cool, the gauges rock, but d00d why's your interior so dirty
JFWY.Keep doing your thing, hopefully soon I'll be doing mine! Oh yeah, get that drop, how many inches you going? I wanna go 2" with stock shocks... Will I need a camber kit and if anything I'll change the shocks within a year...
Congrats, another clean sedan in my books. I'd probably black out the headlights to get that JDM look like those other sedans from Taiwan/China... I actually like the neons. It is only for show.... Its not like your gonna pull a FnF... U ever plan on putting on 03+ tails instead of the 01-02?? Anyways, clean ride.
Late. Michael
