I would get rims but I just cant do it around where I live, potholes, theft...

The problem is the only good looking headlights I can find are http://autoking.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=1181722

Thanks guys!

i dont know if u have noticed but theres not much of a selection there buddy so let me do u a favor and list your options
a. you can buy the blacked out ebay headlights which are no longer on ebay but u can look for them on google $300
b. you can paint your stock head light black ther is one in the diy of sg. $100 most
c. you can retro your headlights yourself you can look it up in the search button sg and or you can find a shope locally that specializes in custum headlights and pay them to do it for you. $500 avg with whole hid set up or the shop can do it for around $800 Mr. Chunks did his from some website you might wanna ask him for info

$500 is actually a little more than enough for a projector retro. That's including another set of stock headlights, 2 good projectors, 2 clear lens, a pair of ballasts, wiring, shrouds, new bulbs, tools.

I haven't added it all up yet but last I checked I was still at about $350 (including shipping) for my raw materials.

x2x2

save the money plus a little more and get a TRD lipkit.

would look SICK (esp with the renova and the smoked tails), and also debadge like rewmomi said.

as far as lights, maybe try and find the blacked out cornerlights (ebay?). and then, i dont know what to tell you about the headlights...not many options there.

Those head lights would fit very well with your black theme... i would get them.

Maybe not the best price, but if money is not an issue....

Im not into the debadging thing... but thats my 2cents

+1, everyone who says to get the kit should be noobslapped because it would look noobtastic on that suspension. If youre gonna rock the kit, you gotta roll low...

Anyway, if I recall this gent asked about headlights ;) I had the ebay lights and though the output was indeed not as good as stock, it didnt really bother me. If I had to do it again and the only lights left are those ones for $400, I would have done my own black hpousings with the stock headlights. The ebay lights are not worth $400... they were worth the $275 I paid though back in the day.

Good luck with whatever you choose!
