thanks for all the kind words from all of you...
i have gotten a few times that people liked my HP's more than my current wheels, but... it got old, i wanted 20's, and most of all, i dont think i've ever seen a more popular wheel down here in south florida, not to mention that they were usually donned by integra's and the like, so that really turned me away
appreciate any more suggestions and even some critiques![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
just dont be too harsh lol

Car looks pretty good. Make sure when you do the HID's that you do them right with either the HID reflector bowls or a retrofit. I like the idea of a black roof, one of the guys on here did it with vinyl instead of having it painted so that is an option. Even if you don't want to turbo the car you can still do some bolt on mods like intake, catback exhaust, headers, etc. just give it a moddest gain in hp but it will definitely sound better.

thanks for the advice ![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
however from what i've been seeing, these damn retrofits are expensive as hell! and i personally dont have enough ***** to cook up my headlight, so idk what to do![Sad](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif)
it seems like every good mod is going to be over 500 dollars, and 500 could supply me with going out for like 2 months in college lol
if you guys would like to help, i have my original tails and factory radio up for sale in the classifieds :-P
nonetheless... what would be a quiet exhaust option?

hah, glad it looks that way ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
i have a pretty good memory of what everything has cost me to do to the car...
jvc headunit - 400
HP wheels 1100 - sold them for 500 after the tires went bald
01-05 grille - 55 on ebay
tails - 200 on ebay
tvs - 250 on ebay
2 JL 3's - 260 for both
rockford punch p500-2 - 200
sportdesign shift **** - 80
AZA wheels with tires - 1000 shipped on ebay, the 500 from the HPs helped there (had to replace the tires a few months ago 700 for nittos all around [245/35/20 front, 275/30/20 rear] )
factory headlight - 100 picked up from some guy, really happy with that one since it was practically brand new and matched my other side
clear bumper lights - 5 on ebay lol
factory trunk light to replace my faded one - 5 dollars on ebay, got lucky on that one
eibach springs - 255 on ebay
that being said, i wish i could drop a grand for tein coils, and another 600 for exhaust, and 500 for retrofitted headlights, but i cant do any of those lol![Frown](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
i think that covers it all, helps when you install everything yourself, add all that up, and it doesnt even come out to what all you guys have spent just on wheels or suspension! lol
and we all know in florida... its ALL about the U
