Default Pics of my ride... what do you think I should do next/change

Well like the title says I pretty much don't have too many ideas of any other projects for my car other than to boost. So I am looking to h-t for some ideas and opinions. Since this is a technical thread i will throw in a question at the end of the pics
Here is a list of what has been done (which i don't expect anyone to read):

B16a2 Swap, Spoon LSD kit, DC Sports header, Apexi WS2 Catback Exhaust, Halo Headlights, Altezza Tailights, Sony Headunit, Sony 2000W Amp, 2 12” Sony 1300W Subs w/custom box, Momo Pedals, Pilar Gauge Pod w/ oil, volt, and vacuum gauges, Sparco Steering wheel, ebay Shortshifter w/****, Prelude seats, Black interior, Short ram intake w/ K&N filter, GSR Cams, AEM Cam Gears, Aluminum Pulleys (power steering and alternator), Fiber Images Carbon Fiber Hood and Fenders, Konig Twilite 15” Rims w/ Yokohama S.Drives (Stock alloys for winter), Shaved Trunk, Nissan Metallic Gray Paint inside and out engine bay as well, 15% tint all around, Skunk2 front and rear camber kit, Skunk2 Coilover Suspension, Energy Suspension Bushing Kit, Blox rear sway bars, Megan front upper Strut bar (in the mail), P28 ecu chipped by phearable.net and stock p30, JDM Center Console, S2000 Antenna, Wings West Lip Kit, Ebay Fog Lights, Clifford Alarm System, Multiple Kill switches probably some other stuff too i forgot.


My question is since it's gotten colder every once and a while after driving a mile a little when it is cold and the engine isn't warm the idle will be very low around 200 then when the car warms up it idles normal around 750. It only does this during cold weather i would think this is iacv related but i don't want to adjust it higher because then it will idle way to high when it is a warm day. Do you think the iacv is bad... any other ideas are appreciated.

JDM headlights and corners. HID's maybe. JDM tail lights. Carbon fiber trunk with the tail lights. Not a fan on shaved anything. Carbon fiber front lip and mirrors. Lose the side gauges. Then call it a day. BTW. sweet paint job in and out

yeah i knew the first thing someone would say is jdm heads, corners and tails. I kinda like what it has know they were actually on it when i got it but I am sure in maybe a year or so i will decide to change them. But I would like hids. Carbon fiber trunk would be sweet and lip as well, the gauges were on it too the only reason i didn't drop them is because it would be kinda a pain to paint the new molding piece but i might do that. Although it is sort of nice having a voltage gauge.

bucket seats would be nice, the hood doesn't need refinished it just looks weird in that one pic from the cloudy sky...the clear is less than a year old.

Gotta agree. Clean as hell except those tail lights and HALO's. Just kinda kills it. Its clean other than that. Build motor up some maybe. Oh yea interior. GSR or S2K seats and that carbon fiber trunk. CF lip will set it off pretty nice to.

The back end kills it for me. I'd say c/f or oem trunk and stock tails. I'm not a fan of that steering wheel. Headlights are alright but something I wouldn't get. Other than that it's a nice car! Keep up the work

Headlights/tailights.

Replace sonys with:
1 15" memphis mojo if you like really really really loud or
Alpine sxw if you like really really clear and loud

Or you can buy my boston spz60's to get you some clean mids to compliment your subs
