Existing stuff :

4-2-1 headers
K&N air filter
Custom dual exhaust (way too loud for 4cyl )
full sound system (alpine head unit, 6 speakers and sub with amp)
17" mags
thats what i have done
(not sure what else exists engine wise.. previous owner wasn't that informative)

Most other stuff is stock or has been reconditioned about 5000ks ago?

Welcome to AGT

You're probably not going to believe this, but my cousin use to own this very car about 5 years ago, same black bonnet, wheels & full exhaust!

Thanks to Marc, here's a cool shot of what I meant, if you can find a lip that is. Think project r has a replica at 1/4 the price.

Also upload and post here to show it off! Also it goes without saying. If you need any help with these cars, just ask.

yeah i got the front lip off of project r, and i was planning to paint the front grill bit, back garnish and bottom of rear bumper black like yours, but just didnt know what to prime it with. Still trying to find coilovers under $1000 -.- or even a set of lowered springs for a good price

Use the 3m pin striping tape, it's like 2mm wide and will give you an excellent edge. I just used $8 paint from bunnings and lasted over a year until I smashed it but was still perfect. Use a highbuild primer.
