UPDATE

Removed the pinstripes and finally tinted the lights all the way around! Door molding coming off later this week. The rubber e400 disc is perfect for removing any glue residue for future reference. Now i need to lower her and throw some nice rims!

If I were you, I would lower the car before changing wheels unless you're going with some OEM wheels (mz3, rx8 or similar)... aftermarket wheels look weird with the car at stock height. Car is looking very nice and clean so far though, keep up the good work! Should look even better with the door mouldings off

-edit-
I hope that post was worth it, I just burnt my dinner -_- lol

UPDATE again..

Got these new Side marker LEDSs with white Rings on the parking lights, they also have 8 amber LEDs for the turn signals. I also replaced my reflectors with LEDS as well for parking lights. I really love the mod it makes the car stand out a bit more. It looks much better without the gold pinstripe on the car. It was killing the black on chrome look.

I painted the whole bumper because i wanted to also do the foglight housings. and because its better to take off the whole thing for the install. i wanted to drill the holes in the bumper for my bolts and washers to sit firmly. i love the lip to. it makes the car look alot better with the eyelids as well.

So i purchased the OEM Alloys with brand new nexen tires from a guy on craigslist for only two hundred bucks.. what a great deal! now i can take off these darn steelies and put them away for some other time. Sad thing is i just put brand new tires on them, may come in handy should anything happen to my new rims. On a side note i also added a LED Emblem blue/red. for the trunk . Looks great! Pics coming soon.
