okay well as far as looks on the outside....are you going to be keeping those 15in rims? Alot of people use 15's for track/auto crossing/basically cause there looking for speed. If you wnat looks for now i say go with Bigger Rims but keep your 15's in the long Run for "speed" you'll prolly want to use em. I got 18's some have 19's....Also a nice drop would be cool to. Maybe Springs or coilvers or even the Full Replacement Coilovers. Alot of people tend to go Springs and Sleeved Coilvers though. IMO i say Drop your car first because rims or a body kit just won't look right with out it.

Rep Power: 347 Yeah, if you seach around you will always find something new you want to do to your car. It is endless. Lower, bodykit and 17"+ rims are probably a good place to start for looks though.

the very first DIY i'd recommend for "show" would be the blacked out headlights. i think they look very clean and it gives that "jdm" look.
3 coats of flat black. 15 minutes between coats. estimate: 1+ hour process or more dependin on how many coats.
heres mine
oh yea, i also got a close-up shot in my "ride gallery"
