Some wheels, blacklines and a drop would be a good starting point. Nice car.

Keep the wheels!! It´s a part of the Si model! Looks nice and matches the car perfect!

Tail lights. There's usually a set for sale in the marketplace under exterior / cosmetic parts.

zaheer · 11-06-2009, 11:40 AM

i see...them tail lights do look good.. however has anyone ever made the facelift sedan lights for the pre facelift models? cos they look much meaner! hmm

bsamoul · 11-06-2009, 12:00 PM

I think you just need a retrofit cable and the lights, which are pretty expensive. Quite a few people have switched them over. Since you already have the euro headlights, I would spend the money elsewhere.

goldn · 11-06-2009, 12:06 PM

very nice.
like the wheel choice.

Tee212 · 11-06-2009, 12:07 PM

Yep, you can buy LCI headlights. Simple drop-in, you just need to buy the lights and install them.

Carbon Black is a unique color, and will look very different depending on lighting. Looks great though!
