+1 for the detailing

you can probably find the grill either on here or my.IS for under $200, probably not the lip b/c it will need painting

or maybe a mini model of his car

HKS Metal Flow...
the nicest air filter evaR.

stainless steel mesh with a titanium top and bottom
looks dope when you pop the hood.
here's mine:



or a JDM Dash Tray
or a set of the solid rear suspension braces
or a strut tower bar set off of fleaBay

you can get the airfilter any where online. or you can call up dynamic autosports/ gruppe-s (http://gruppe-s.com/)

the heatshield is a one-off. i made it myself.

How about the fancy Autoart 1:18 scale model? You can find them on Ebay and I still have my Solar Yellow one.

I like the carbon fiber license plate insert that AAC has listed on here! I wish we could do this with the 2IS!
