i like looks....
mostly because they are cheaper than speed...

yes....

type r front and rear lips -- 59.99 each
paint - 125.00
rota wheels 16" -- 550.00
kumho tires -- 250.00
mounting & balancing -- 35.00
type r replica spoiler -- 175.00
coilover setup -- 1000.00
diy painted headlights & taillights -- 20 for paint and about 3 hours labour
mugen twin loop exhaust -- 700.00
install & labour -- 80.00 -> 100.00
paint -- 85.00
grand total -- 3014.99
that is a sweet looking car to me
but hey... you have your opinion... (and im sure we'll hear it)... you like turbo's and engine swaps.. i like wheels and some minor body add-ons.... :wink:
