I have to disagree. I think retrofits are the best looking headlights. although i am considering getting some Gen 3s cause retrofits cost like 500 bucks

i only like how they look directly from the front such as in this pic above, but other views of the gen 3's make me like retros a lot better....

Sportlines with SS/TC struts and shocks. It's better with these than the stock SS/SC ones. I didn't want to cough up the money for some Koni's.

About $200. I had to drive up to Indiana. I found a LS that was wingless in a junkyard so I pulled the trunk. It had a few minor scratches that I got fixed

Yea I am sure. I don't plan on spending too much more on this car. Pretty much done with everything I wanted to do. That and having a mortgage makes it harder to buy random stuff for the car
