pls vote to help me pick my next mod have pix (lci tails, oss headlights, coilovers)

which of the 4 should i pick up next? i photoshopped some pics of my car w/ the mods on.

1. coilovers
current height (xi on h&r sport springs)

goal height


2. lci tail lights


3. oss style headlights w/ housing blacked out currently i have HID angeleyes and like how i can drive at night w/ just the angel eyes on but the blacked out housing would be a nice touch along w/ cleaner halos
angel eyes aren't on in this pic but its more to show how blacked out housing would look on my car



4. save my cash and save for the new gen idrive since my current previous gen idrive's dvd drive is broken and am now more likely to get lost

I would add coilovers. You don't know how bad the stock shocks are on lowered springs until you get a good set of coilovers.

As for OSS, they are the best Halos to get because they are uniform, but not the brightest. I have a set of Alpine HID 800K Halos and they are SUPER bright, no errors and are very cost effective, as compared to OSS. A bit more costly then LUX, but well worth it because you can install them yourself. They are so bright, I don't even need headlights sometime at night. I have matched them with 8000k HID Fogs, and they look so sick with the both on. PM Alex@Alpine and he will hook you up. Don't get me wrong, OSS are the best uniform Halo's with the individual LEDs in each ring, but I am not a fan of having to ship out my headlights, wait a bit to have them shipped back.

Your car looks sick tho, great job.

the new idrive & suspension mods can wait!..the light mods will give you a dramatic effect especially at night or dark

how long have you had the springs? if you put them on recently, then I would hold off on the coilovers. Kinda makes the springs a waste of money. Since it seems like you are trying to create a very aggressive look, I would go with the OSS. Nothings more important than the intensity of the eyes when it comes to aggression.
