You said only TOP LINE QUALITY PARTS. Those arn't that great looking either. This is only constructive criticism but start with the swap or suspension. good luck

I know, they're not TOP END, but I like the style of them, I like the more UNIQUE/DIFF rims, don't want the same **** everyone else has, rotas, si's, etc.

Great start with the hatch. Go with whatever rims you like. Its your money to spend and your car to drive. Most people have a layout of how they want the project to come along, ie. suspension, motor, looks. Do whatever your budget allows for the time and stick with your plan. Good luck w/ it.

We must have a different interpretation of Rags to Riches. You went from Walmart rags to Target Brand rags. Good luck in the future.

Well, if you wanna ruin it quick, buy some xxr wheels.

Buy what you can afford and are happy with, but "riches" labels will have to go then.

It' alright. Get a swap, suspension and wheels and you'll be okay.
