Ideas for mods I want to do.
 
I want to get a second set of DEPO's and crack them open. I want to take a set of White LED strips and run them around the inside rim of the HEADlight portion of the DEPO's as well as a couple of short amber strips to fill in the turn signal area, short white strips for the fog lights and hook them up to a manual switch.

Probably go with these.

I also want to get some Eibach or Goldline springs and drop it to the deck.

Paint the brake calipers, drums, and exhaust black.

Purple LED underbody lights.

Maybe get a body kit.

Upgrade to more of a personal choice rim, as what I have is not quite my style.

Fresh coat of BGM possible.

All of that sounds good, except the under body lights. But that's just me a gringo in Texas. So post pictures at each step of your process to show how it progresses along. :twothumbs:

OK wait. what is BGM?

Black Granite Metallic. (Stock Shadow Edition Paint) Get a new coat, without all the hair-line scratches and such.

Just a couple of opinions from your old buddy down here in Carolina.

Those white LED strips are becoming a cliche. Audi started it a few years back and it was a case of "oh well that's different for sure, kinda neat", now its becoming more of "oh look, another clapped out ricer Honda with white LED's in the headlights, yay...not". I can see the HID headlamp conversions, but I'd lose the LED idea so you're not just another person jumping on an overcrowded bandwagon.

Under-car lighting is so early 2000's anymore, I've seen it for 20 years already and unless the whole Fast & Furious thing is what you're trying to emulate, spend your dough on something else. Maybe a nice cat back performance exhaust for instance.

You're a creative person, so maybe direct your energies towards following the beat of your own drummer instead of echoing the same mods that you see over and over again.

I'd keep Stiggz stealthy and work towards liberating more performance.

It's been a mix of personal desires and ideas inspired by things I have seen..

the headlights idea, I mean, not just along the bottom, but outlining the actual oval where the headlamp beam is emitted from, and the turn signal circle, inside that location.. and the fog lamps, on the inside of the lens, on the bottom 3/4 of the fog light..

Okay, Yoda. Performance and ride wise when I get my tax return, I am planning on eibachs (from a member) KYB shocks and struts, TTR swaybars/motor mounts. Can't decide if I want a K&N CAI or not..
