The headlights are what came with it and it wasn't modded at all before I bought it. I don't know what the qualifiers are for the sport design though ha.

I realize that the mufflers and tips need to be polished ha. I assumed that's what you meant. Ordered clear side markers with LED bulbs. Still waiting for my silver tsuna rope and led inner tail lights but other than that the only remaining things I plan on doing any time soon are a fairly conservative system as well as custom leather. Thanks for all the encouragement guys!

Got an alignment at the dealership today and they said that they couldn't get everything exactly into spec because my tie rods or endlinks (can't remember which...) were siezed. Are these parts that age poorly with the gs?

I think puff said that cuz when you run a stretched tire setup like that you need an aggressive drop to completely get rid of the gap and give the car that aggressive stance. if not it makes the car look stock height even if its lowered because of the gap. I like the car, looks good but definitely should be lower to bring out the rim/tire setup.

Going through the car now and replacing all amber bulbs with white led's. Baked the fogs and removed the yellow bulb cover and replaced the bulbs with 68 smd led bulbs and the end result looks awesome. Pics up as soon as I can. 65hr work weeks are killing me...
