last week i ordered my OBX header and y-pipe combo, smoked side markers all the way around, short 3" vision antenna, an o2 simulator, and an altezza grille emblem, should be receiving all that this week. i will be putting pics up as soon as i install each of these items. i am painting the grille black before i install the altezza emblem and will be getting the wheels powdercoated black with new tires at a later date.

Looks good man - You and I have the exact same car. Even better yet, I took mine camping this past weekend, too. Got plenty of looks from the trailer hauling/pick-up truck crowd.
I'm going to keep my exterior stock, but I'm thinking about an an I/H/E combo. Looking forward to seeing how your install goes.

thanks guys. update on the parts i ordered, i should be receiving the obx header and y-pipe combo, smoked side marker lights, short 3" vision antenna, and o2 simulator at sometime this week, probably towards the end of the week, also i will probably go ahead and smoke the tail lights too. i just found out today that the altezza emblem is going to take 9-12 days to arrive since it is coming from japan. here are some photos of what ive done to the grille.
here is the grille in flat black primer and i taped up that chrome bead that goes around the grille.
here is the finished product in gloss black with the tape off
here it is again up close
now i just sit back and wait for my altezza emblem to arrive.
also i know it may be hard to see the difference between the factory charcoal color on the grille and the gloss black color i painted it, but my reason for doing this was so the black grille and chrome bead around the grille would flow better with the altezza emblem since the one i bought is black and chrome. also seeing the grille in person there is a big defference between the factory grille color and the gloss black i painted it.

also the black grille will go good with the wheels when i get them powder coated gloss black. i am going to take off the chrome L's and powder coat the wheels and paint the center caps then put the chrome L's back on when they are done.

I relocated the drivers side heated seat and traction conrtol/snow button today. I am still not sure why it doesnt come this way from the factory because when you pop the cover off the way the wires run and are taped up it make more sense this way, its easier to see and understand what i am saying once you pop the cover off. here are 2 pics of what i did.very easy to do, a 2 minute job.
