mostly everyone here is going to tell u NO body kit...including me...but it's your car..u do wat u please with it...me personally i wouldn't put a kit...they break to easy and then there goes your bumper...time for a new one...i love the clean looks of CF lips or ABS but in that matter they break easy also if your not careful...if u want a clean look and something cheap...get a ABS lip...if it break **** it..buy a new one...40 to 60 bucks u have a new one in hand...so basically wat i'm tryin to say here...it's your car u do wat u want with it...if u want a kit put a kit...the only kits that i would put on it a back yard special bumper..or cwest

I suggest full buddyclub kit but with oem rear skirt. Or a c-west kit
Black widow is nice too, but that's more of an extreme look

The bomex would look good, why not go all out crazy already since u got the tail lights and stick a 3 ft wing and a wide body kit and maybe a "skyline" conversion

You need a bodykit and naaaaaws. No, you said nice and simple. Stock tail lights, type r grill, and a type r lip kit would be hot.

Color matched moldings, Discontinued 97-98 rear lip, Si front end conversion with oem fogs...And if you want to get real crazy you can get a cf lip. Those rims aren't my choice, but they aren't bad, Lower the car more, ditch the tails (unless you like them) lose the grill, and do everything I stated above and you will be set
