I painted mine. Most people get overlays. If you aren't looking for something real dark or if you want something non permanent get overlays but be careful because I went that route first and ripped one. So I just decided on painting.

In my opinion it will last longer but will also be harder (not impossible) to take off

Racingline Strut and sway bar, then the endlinks. Best investment IMO

lol..he said that wasn't too costly. Those components alone are close to 5 bills with shipping. Although I do agree with you it makes a world of difference in the handling of the coupe. Christmas is right around the corner ya know... Hey mom, hey dad,...for Christmas can I get..... (ya know the rest)

Well, Strut and sway about 150ish each, endlinks are the pricey ones. But they are so worth it! Maybe you can still get in the big group by? or buy used endlinks.

Congrats on the whip dude!!Go with the overlays for your tail lights! if u get pinched by the man all you do is peel'em off. save yourself $$$ from getting new tails (if u painted'em) and court fees/citations etc.

Overlays are cheap, got mine at Nextlevelride. I've been painting mine on the inside to match the Azure blue. All silver trim is now blue. Some painting on the engine cover and air intake. I also painted the grill black with some blue metal flakes sprinkled on top. Eventually some 18" XXR wheels when the tires wear out. [IMG][/IMG]

Save money for something better, don't do small cheap mods.

Tacky as hell.

There's no sense in painting stock 2.5, they don't look that great. If I had gotten a 2.5, the first thing I would have bought was new wheels and tires. My first mod was interior accent lighting, not too hard. Then I got tint. My suggestion is do all the exterior stuff first, then suspension, then do performance.
