Should really reconsider that idea. Its very unsafe and illegal, plus it looks ricey and cheap... in the end its your car and can obviously do what you want, but still...

It is generally better when "modding" a car to make things better... I know everyone has their one tastes an whatnot but really... nothing about thoughs headlights is tasteful. And if duct tape is your solution to a problem, you didnt do it right.
Im not trying to bash you, everyone starts somewhere (and I am still in the "starting" phase myself) but you should know that people on this forum will not like a "build thread" full of cheap, half assed mods.
Good luck with the rest of the work on your car, and remember, when you cant afford quality, go with OEM and when doing custom work, make it look clean

Please tell us that you ditched, or un-tinted the headlights. I have to agree that the 'smoked' look is a very dangerous thing to do with headlights. I do not like it on tail lights as well, but that is personal preference. Other then that the car looks good.

at the moment the headlights are still tinted. i have hids in atm and it is pretty bright.
and thankyou the rims took me over a month to do. when i got them they were chrome and stilling for 5years+ so it was all falling off. i had to take all the chrome off and sand and sand and sand then prime and paint. i think they came out well. and as far as turbo or super, where can i find specs and pricing cuz to start saving i think i need to start with a general price range. and when i was lookin for turbos how can i tell when the turbo is at max power cuz i dont want the turbo to kick in to earlie and fall on its face at 5krpm....thats y i am interested in superchargers
is there any sites u can suggest to start my modding adventure

You want pricing for a turbo thats not going to "fall on its face at 5k rpm" ? GT35 is always a good option for our cars. Now start saving for a turbo engine swap, or a NA-T setup. Then a standalone computer, fuel injectors, custom intercooler setup, custom exhaust, aftermarket turbo manifold, external wastegate, tuning, and any replacement parts along the way like bushings or mounts. Good luck and start researching by reading the Single Turbo section of the board, the FC tech section, FC archives, and Auxiliary Injection subforums.

i dont see how a supercharger falls on its face ever. u can set the boost to start at 5psi and increase to 7psi or so with rpm. but i a mnot ruling out either i wanna see specs
