Here is my photo/build thread. Right now its Bone stock with window tints and debadge so no build, but am planning to do some modifications and hence will post stuff on the thread as I do them.

I saw a lot of cool stuff on the forums so right now as it stands, tentative plans for the car if my job keeps providing the money is as follows:

Current Mods:
Window tint (35% sides, 20% rear, side rear)
Debadged
HID Fog lights 5k temp

Short term (1-5 years)
Wheel Spacers
Painted Calipers (still wondering which color, probably Gold so far)
K-Black painted Fog light bezels ( sorry but I don't like the mated, plastic look of the bezel, stands out too much off the body in daylight)
CAI
Exhaust

Long term (5+ years)
Aftemarket Clutch
Headers
S/C

Also note, modifications are based on not voiding warranty for the first 5 years unless I get tired of waiting and buy it nonetheless at some point...

I received my HID Fog kit a few days ago, and finally instlled it and took some pics. Pictures are not that great, but till shows the improvement and new look. I like it. You'll notice I went with 5k bulb in order to be very close to the OEM HID headlights that are 4300. Color difference doesn't show much on the pictures and you can barely see it in real but there is still a slight difference visualy so I will probably buy new OEM bulb for the headlights when I get a chance to make everything 5k. Oh,and at first, I had issued with the install since "of course" my wires from factory had inverted polarity so both my lights didn't work at first, took me some research and found a few threads explaining this, tks a lot guys...

Oh, and another thing I noticed is that the fog lights seem to shine very close to the bumper but they have an adjustement for height on this model, not sure if all late years have this, but I'm gonna try readjusting them a bit to see if I can get better range without blinding people. I drove with them last night in the city and No one flashed me so I'm guessing they're good so far.

I am also going to re-orient my direction in regards to look. I decided I'm going to built it as a sleeper (less police interest when they see it) and keep factory look from outside as much as possible but work on everything thats not visible...

Next plan is going with the Cai which I might be buying in a few paycheck and I'll also be looking at getting wheel spacers to get my OEM rims out a bit, I'm thinking 15mm spacer should do the trick.

Anyways, here are the photos of the new HID fogs, sorry for the poto quality, I could not get a good shot from the front because of the glare, I like the difference without the fogs on and with on the 3rd and 4th photo:
