IMO I would DIY your headlamps and get some HIDs. If you dont feel comfortable doing your headlamps pay LatinUSMC to do them. He prolly could darken up them tails too. I dont recomend getting the TRD Lip Kit untill you get some different rims or atleast get lowered. If your into getting it debadged its simple: hair dryer, fishing line, and goo gone. 8)

Good luck with your mods and keep us posted. :)

black corners would be a good start esp. on the black paint. wouldnt make a dent in your budget either.

thanks for all of the input guys, I have decided against the lip kit. Gotta have rims to rock a kit I think, plus I agree it would need to be lowered as well.

So now im just looking at clear corners, and the DIY black housing thing. I cant decide if I want tinted or crystal clear corners, anybody have any pics of these on a black lara? I dont see any on cardomain.

The rest of the money will go towrds finishing my Alpine setup. I already have the 12" type R's with a 1200 1ohm kicker amp and type-R 6x9's. Now I'm looking at the component set from alpine and a 4 channel amp. Any suggestions on a good 4 channel amp for my setup? Id prefer Kicker but its whatever.

Thanks again

If you search through Gen 1-1.5 Tutorials and look for DIY Blackhousing, you should find some pics of a finished product. I love Alpine too. I have the Type R 10s w/competition box. I blew my MTX 2 channel, so now Im looking for a new amp as well. Im prolly gona go with an Alpine amp, but not sure what kind yet.

Heres a pic of my car, I have Damon's old lights. Not sure if they are the ebay ones hes talking about, but I put some nice bulbs in there and I'm thrilled with the light output.

Yeah I would put it in my window, but I've already got the GD holes drilled in my bumper from the last lady. So it would look stupid to take it off and have holes IMO. They know me around where I live so they don't give me any trouble about the plate, wish I could say the same for other things.

Makes sense. I use to have a front plate, but when I got my new bumper I never drilled to holes. So it looks as if there was never a LP there. 8)
