rims = just like the pic

grill: maybe the sport design one? Or if you can find an Altezza one with the red emblem that would probably look quite good as well.

edit: I also think your look might benefit from clear front corners.

yeah im deff gonna get some clear corners...and im stuck lol im not sure if i like that color rim or the black..

the black ones are pretty hott too...and im actually thinkin getting a carbon fiber grille or the rod millen grille...but after the rims all that is on hold cuz pretty much the whole inside of my car is dead

i just recently put some LED's in my map light....so i was gonna do it for my dome light in the back. so i got em in there and touched the wires together and blew my fuse so i replaced the fuse and like a retard and hit the wires together again. i checked the fuse and its still good but nothing works...map light is dead dome light is dead (i put the old bulb in the dome light and map light) and my remote lock is dead too. i cant figure out whats wrong with it. any ideas? ive put 3 different fuses in to make sure i didnt have a bad one but still no good...so now i have no light in my car and i cant use my remote to lock it... the clock on my radio resets to 1:00 every time i cut off the car.. and i cant use the door lock on the arm rest on the door unless the car is on. and usually it works even if the car is off. i really hope its not a major problem.

Sounds like you maybe shorted something somewhere. That could take a very long time to find.

I've never had that happen myself, a short is just my best guess.

As for the rims, I like the ones that are the color of your car, when black is spinning they don't look as good IMO. What if you machine/polish the lip on the colored ones?

i just did a quick photoshop and the first ones deff look better so ill be going with them...and since they are smaller i wont rub anymore and then i can lower it ...and i ordered my seat button 13.17 and that drip rail trim on my roof 91.50 what the hell lol that stuff is 2 expensive...but it looked bad cuz i was missing it. the guy who had the car b4 me deff shouldnt have had it he didnt take care of it at all! the dash is real messed up the rims have massive curb rash on them and there are a ton of scratches on the car. but soon enough i will have new rims and will get it re sprayed to cover the scratches and get the few dents fixed. it will be looking better soon! :]

GO FOR IT. Matches your graphite paint nicely.

^^ He already did Check the post before yours

NyceTry, did you ever get that dome light to work yet? Also, do you have a frontal view of the grille?

Does it come with the lower part that matches as well?
