Thanks for the replies everyone. To answer all your questions...
I'm 10 miles southeast of Philadelphia in NJ. The photos were taken at Easton Town Center in northeast Columbus. I'm out here for work and I decided to take the coupe for the drive, give it a chance to stretch its legs. The car had a quick $35 handwash and spray wax during lunch, the day I took the pics. Its had a couple sessions with Zaino and a full professional detailing already this summer, so it doesn' take much to bring out the shine.
The foglights are the JDM Skyline kit you can order from japanparts.com. I'm using the OE 4300k bulbs in both those and the lowbeams. I'm not in a big rush to swap them out because I still have 2 D2R and 1 D2S spare and that makes for a lot of leftover bulbs if I go and buy 4 new bulbs that are 6k or 8k.
The rest of the lighting was done by clearcorners.com. Mike did a great job on the setup. So everything you see, the dual function corner lamps, the turn signals that only come on when activated, painted headlamp shrouds, full LED conversions on the corners and clearance lamps, was all done by him. A lot of people balk at the price, but I think the results are well worth it. The quality of his work is top notch.
The full exterior mod list is
OE lower lip spoiler
Clearcorner.com customized headlamps
Clearcorner.com dual function corner lamps
JDM Skyline HID foglights
Gialle grille.
Thats it. I decided I didn't want to go the body kit route because I really wanted to differentiate my car while retaining a lot of the appeal and strong lines the car has from the factory. I'll be finishing a full conversion to LED's over the winter, then I can focus on brakes, suspension, drivetrain and engine. Once thats all done, I'll eventually get around to new rims. Until I figure out how wide a rear track the car needs to best put down the power, its not worth investing in rims!

I had just gotten happy with the lighting when security arrived. Hope you guys like 'em.
Pics are links, so click for a closeup.
