I'm thinking the slp SS grille will be next. I want to keep the appearance mods tasteful, but I might do clear corners or blackouts as well.

Totally changes the front of the car. Goes from plain looking to aggressive.

Here's an idea for your corner markers - Sand your factory ones to get the lettering off, spray 2-3 coats of VHT, 3 coats clear, then wet sand and buff them shiny. Darkens them but doesn't go totally black, plus I think it looks better than the clear lens that then shows off the ugly bulb inside

Sounds cool but I'm not sure I'd want to spend that much time on the corners.

I'm looking at headers now and also lowering springs...decision, decisions.

Lower and getting a grill would complete the exterior pretty well for me until I get different wheels down the road.

I would do a black billet grille with a bowtie in the middle. And smoked corners to finish out the look.

Depo headlights really change the whole look! I love mine.

as for the signals being blacked out, I bought covers from summit I do believe (30 bucks). The covers don't stick on, they slide up into the bumper and are secure. I painted some old ones just to look and I didn't care for the look at night while the lights were on. The covers look nice during the day and at night, much cleaner. Can install/remove whenever in less than a minute! Light shines thru very nicely during the day, as you can see in the pic above

Looks great man, I highly recommend the SLP SS grille. It really cleans the front end up well. I just put it on mines and it made the car look so much better. Also, PM me if you want to get rid of your stockers, I'd be willing to buy them if interested. I go to school out in the Annapolis area.
