Perhaps you could post your build list, along with your goals in this thread? This is a much better place for questions.

This poor car.. all nice and stock, and getting molested like no tomorrow. Not even tastefully. If I was you, I would leave the cosmetics alone. But, it is your car. So do as you wish.

I would however, stay away from the Chinese knock off 16G. Get yourself a Authentic Evo III 16G.

So much money that can be spent elsewhere to actually help the car vs buying a bunch of fiber-glass body parts that are going to rip off later on and make the car look horrible.

^ This guy said it all, this poor car getting molested with crappy mods.

Couldn't agree more, and just like a lot of others, I know first hand for the knock off turbo, don't waste your money on that crap. Get a real one and you'll be much happier. And as Chrispy said, it does look so much better stock and you really should keep it in that condition, but it's yours.
