I guess everyone avoided posting cause of the flaming that would ensue, but I have to say, its not a bad car. My recommendations would be to go to a junk yard dealer and make a negotiation, trade your headlights + cash for stock ones. Get an Si lip if you can, its in dire need of one. Get an Si grille on ebay, they are cheap, so is the Si lip. And above all else, work on taking pictures. They are super grainy, looks like cellphone pics to me lol. But, its a nice car. Keep working on improving it. Don't swap it, turbo that D!

You can actually cut out your current grill, and put some mesh from Home Depot, spray it flat black and stuff. A thread on here about it.

my friend got his 00 si stolen and the insurance is taking it so he is selling everything off it as long as i put my stock parts on it. i think the only part i need to give his is my struts and springs.
