It's looking good man.
Check out fit sport wheels, they're basically identical to our stockies except polished and they look sick. You could probably polish your wheels for $20 if you don't mind the labour involved.

Hmm the fit ones don't look to bad, how big r they? 15? Cuz i'm looking for 16 possibly 17, not sure about rims yet though.
@Lopes: Oh god i bought the car with dents on the passenger fender, 2 weeks later someone hits me now i have the same dent on both fenders. The there are 3 small dents on the passenger side that form like a triangle shape, when someone leans on my fender they all pop in and make one giant dent so i have to go under the wheel well cover and pop it out with my hand, it's happened so many times lol

I've been considering bringing my car to a PDR shop. There's a place called dent tec in Ottawa that charges $90 for the first dent and $10 for each additional dent which seems reasonable.

Re: DarkSouljur's Build Thread
Yea, I have a lot of small dents and dings on the passenger door that were there when I bought the car. I always try to park further away from cars at parking lots and walk the extra distance than to risk having a shopping cart or something put anymore dents...

Update: July 4th 2011 - Tinted Tail Lights.
So i've always liked the black tail light look, went out and bought a thing of VHT and tinted my tails last night. I wanted them to have a matte look on purpose, i could have done this properly and made them all shiny but i like them the way they are. All i did was clean them, put one layer of VHT, waited 45 mins, another layer of VHT, came back 3 hours later (recommended time to handle them after spray) and then applied a layer of clear coat, waited and hour and a half them put em on my car and let them sit overnight. The outcome was much nicer than i thought and i'm getting a great amount of light through these things. I think that the law here says you have to have at least one light clearly visible when you brake (don't quote me on that), but i have my spoiler light which shines brighter than the tails ever did so i'm fine. All my friends think it's an improvement, i do too but i know not everyone likes them :P
Pics
I forgot to take pics before install so here's the after:
I also bought type a side skirts and a rear lip today, hoping to put them on in the next couple of days, so i'll keep u updated.

The law is that you must have 3 operating tail lights, with at least one being amber in colour. So the third brake light (spoiler or rear window) is all we really need to be amber.

Re: DarkSouljur's Build Thread
Here are a few
Havent tried any of em, but they look pretty decent

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-X-C...Q5fAccessories
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-x-T...Q5fAccessories
Or you can just go in ebay and type in T10 SMD LED, that's what I do
