agree but if you lower then you will also need to get camber kit, the lowering will cause your tires to mess up super quick unless you have the proper cambers and a good alignment, just my 2 centavos

Actually, improper TOE settings will cause the tires to wear faster. You can have a negative camber car (within reason) and the tires won't wear out on the inside if the toe is set correctly. There are also tires that are designed for cars with negative camber like the Nitto NeoGens.

Are you wanting to do appearance only or also performance?

Appearance, here is what I'd do:

1. OEM fogs
2. Si-R front lip (the black one that is textured like your side skirts, not the paintable Type R one...)
3. Light drop
4. Some nice 15 or 16" wheels
5. If you like the 99-00 coupe tail lights, you can get red/clears that look OEM for the 4 doors.
6. Maybe some light window tint. Anymore, I do 35% all the way around on a car. Easy to see out of at night but gives the car a decent appearance.

You have a pic of your car how it sits right now?
