Wow, when that first picture loaded, I was like oh boy...
Then I saw the rest. Good save man. But you should get rid of the spoiler and get the Si wing instead.
Other than that, looks good man.

Definitely looks better afterwards. But I think OEM '99-'00 tails would look a lot better than those eBay tails you have the car right now.

But definitely an upgrade.

I dryheaved when I saw the before pic. You still need to get some new wheels... Im not a fan of your headlamps, taillamps or foglight bezels either.

Not a big fan of shaved door handles, wheels and the taillights.
