I dont mean to be insensitive but you say you're having a hard time finding parts such as lip kits and grills? Probably the two easiest things to find online. I have a hard time believing youve exhausted all avenues of research.

Im still new to this and Ive come across...

Ebay
Nextmod
Sewell
L-tuned
Alibaba

...all depends if u want authentic or willing to run replica parts

There's a number of dealerships that use eBay and can be good for OEM parts.

www.sonicmotor.com is pretty good for lots of aftermarket parts.

Like others above have stated there are numerous places to buy parts. Even if you are super lazy and didnt want to look through ebay or other sites just look through the vendor section or member classified section for OEM/aftermarket parts.

Vendor classifieds is good. I know L-Tunedparts.com sells stuff like that, as well as sites like bulletproof automotive and vivid racing. Nigel JDM parts has a lot of stuff as well

You may want to look at a Vertex lip kit which is subtle and it looked good on my car.
