Get a set of OEM splash guards, and mabe a OEM lip.

Riverside Infiniti usually has the best price, but if you look in the marketplace you might get lucky and find someone selling a used set.

BTW your car looks great, those wheels make it look like a real track car.

As soon as I have time off work, I'll do the mods and post up another picture or 2.

BTW, what site sells the splash guards for the best price? (preferably already painted) Or would it be smart to just purchase from the local dealer?

I'm pretty sure they only come prepainted. New from the dealer, they are around $70. You can find used ones in the Marketplace every once in awhile. Good work on the car.

Oh if they are only $70, I might as well get them new. I was thinking they would be closer to the $200 price range like most lips are. But since they are just the splash guards that makes sense. Thanks.

For my headlights, I ordered overlays from BlueBatmobile.net (hgtr3 Headlight Overlay with all lamps cutout)

I used to be a college student on a budget as well. The only difference now is that I'm no longer in college, but still on a budget.
