Relax there buddy. Take a breather. I never said i needed help modding. I said I needed help on deciding whats a more crucial visual mod to get next, headlights or wheel setup. Getting ebay clear corners is not being cheap buddy. They look a sht load better than the oem clears on a bo imo. And once again, some people need to revisit their elementary days and learn to read. Nobody said I "have money to blow", I just said I'm not going to cheap out when it comes to mods. Obviously if I had "money to blow" I wouldn't even make this thread. Now lets use some common sense before attacking the keyboard or just not post silly little remarks indicating signs of "that time of the month"

My list would be rims drop then lights, you'll enjoy the rims more so then the lights. Just restore the lights for now that's the kind of thing you would do to hold you over not paint over stuff
The rattle can rims is a temp solution for a couple of weeks untill I get my rims. I dont mind them. Seems to me people dont get heat over painting their rims bronze but once a guy goes black, its the worst thing he can do. Just thought it was pretty funny

And nobody's gettin on anyone. Some people just need to grow up a bit and try to act a bit more mature than their age

I have several cars, and the first thing I change is the wheels and suspension. Those are always the most noticable changes one can do. I just bought a G a week ago. I have ordered my VIP Modulars and UAS. If I were you, I would get some decent wheels and some nice coil overs or air ride, and see how that goes. Then move on to something else.

Sounds like a plan. The only reason I was considering changing my headlights out first is because at night they look hideously yellow next to the led clear corners.

Personally I would buy a headlight restore kit and focus on upgrading the suspension and wheels as they make the biggest visual difference to the car. I'd say your better off going with the coil overs first and deciding on how low you want to go then ordering wheels accordingly. No sense in wasting money on wheels only to have fitment issues when you lower the car. GL with the mods.

Do whatever makes you feel best man. I personally like the wheels and painted my stocks too. I just don't have the money to spend on rims yet and like the way the stocks look black.

As for your setup - I guess if it was me I would do suspension ,headlights, paint the grille black, then get wheels after that.

You will always get people that are going to try and hate on your ride no matter what you do so might as well ignore it and do what suits you best.

lol @ people complaining about the ebay clears

my ebay clears cost me $15 shipped and look and fit better than any "OEM JDM HELLAFLUSH NISMO VTEC" $50 corners will.

OP, first thing I'd do is paint the grill.

Prolly cause I've tried a friend's "OEM" ones and they were loose and the ebay ones I bought were tight and firm... (in b4 yo momma, thats what she said jokes).

But yeah.... this is G driver, you present them with 2 identical things, one $500 the other $1, they'll take the $500 one cause its JDM yo! If its more $$$, it means its better quality for my G!


And yes, im the retard...

you drive a green G.

I went with ordering the wheels first because im getting 12" in the rear, so I am going to make the car fit the wheels. But that's a whole other thread. I would just wet sand and reclear those headlight, it only takes a few minutes to do.

I'd go for the rims and drop first. Buy the 3m headlight kit for the time being. It's the best headlight restoration kit on the market.

Dont know why people hate on the ebay corners, got mine with the same quality as oems and fit couldnt be any better. No need to be a wise a$$ buddy
Keep in mind he's 16 and wears skinny jeans
There's a thread around here to prove it

I agree with going with a drop, wheels, then new headlights.
Pay no attention to the haters.
I think some of them spend too much time on the forums and get bored.
Lookin for something to be critical about.
