Personally get rid of that bumper, side skirts, and rear skirts. Also paint the rear plastic diffuser black. Take off the wing, and get some oem taillights or 99spec

Take off all mentioned and replace front with 99 spec front bumper, replace the sides with 99 spec oem, replace the rear spoiler with a 99 spec spoiler, and remove the rear valence and stock plastic piece under the rear bumper and purchase a used stock one, or a diffuser from shineauto. Replace your interior with black interior, and then, you're good. haha! That will cost ballpark around $4,000 with painting.

Do whatever you can to make it not look like that. Just return it to stock interior, and go with '99 spec front end and tail lights. And get rid of that wing!

Hmm, how ugly...

Agree with the other comments; please take off the kit and return the interior to stock.

It looks like a veilside kit that needs to go as well as the spoiler and lights. Then probably take care of the tune up and interior

I personally don't mind the Veilside side and rear skirts. But the front bumper, rear spoiler and rear lights have to go. I would also redo the interior panels. Put a freshly built mild street port engine in there with:

Downpipe
Bonez Hi-Flo cat
Catbak of your choice
Fluidyne Radiator
ASP Medium SMIC
Intake of your choice
Greddy Boost Controller
ACT S/S Clutch
Pettit or PFC ECU

Mold the side and rear skirts, add some decent aftermarket wheels and you'll be all set. Make sure the suspension and braking components are fresh as well (new pillowballs, brake pads and rotors as well a SS brake lines).

I'm curious to see the interior... any photos? As for the car, get rid of the kit! Veilisde is a big no no, including the spoiler, and lights... i'd go stock, or 99spec. Upgrade the suspension. In Australia, that would be classed as 'good to not bad' because of the modifying scene... but in this community... no!
