your headlights look like they could use some love. also, what's with the solo wiper blade? other than that it looks to be in good shape, albeit very stock looking

The headlights do need some love. I order some and the wipers just lazy to get one. I was thinking on going sIR but my boy already has he's ek sir. I'm think on going type r but that will cost lots of money.

well whatever you decide to do just take your time, save your money, and do it right. there are plenty of hatches out there to get inspiration from. just don't cut corners to get the look, you'll regret it in the end.
