Sounds like a good start there, I was orginally going to do a Wings West kit on my EF when I first got it then I saw a picture of a Jap SiR and I fell in love with it so I did the EF9 front end conversion because I love it and its clean. I also added to HID's to my EF, they give me alot more light output and they look damn cool. If you are going to do a front and rear lip as I plan to do then I would suggest picking up some used OEM EG side skirts, you have to modify them a bit to get them to fit right but if done correctly they look really clean, alot like the SiR skirts as a matter of fact. As for lowering it I would say get some KYB AGX adjustable shocks and either Tein springs if you want a little more sporty ride or Eibach if you like it a little softer, oh and dont forget to get a camber kit!!! As for rims I would say you are right on the money with wanting to run a 15', a 15 rim on an EF is the best all around size for looks and handeling IMO, there are plenty of good looking OEM and aftermaket 15's that will look great on an EF such as Rotas slip steams or circuit 8's, Volk TE37's, OEM SiR's, hammers heads, etc. And for exhaust I would recommend getting a stainless system if its in your price range as the exhaust never seem to last long on EF's for some reason, plus if you buy stainless once you will never have to change it again, whatever you choose to do please get a resonator you will thank yourself you did and so will your neighbours.

I agree his car does look damn nice, thats the same kit I orginally wanted as well, but do the car your own style, dont copy someone elses.

Do what YOU want to it, cause your the one thats going to be driving it everyday. I could say paint it pink and put spinner hub caps on it with 10 different colour neons around it. Its your car do what you think will look good on it.

not too much man, what about u? Liking ottawa? u should just keep ur car clean btw. like, ur engine gives it some nice power so keep it at least a few inches off the ground with even a kit on so u don't rip everything off like everyone always does....lol...and if i remember correctly, ottawa has some pretty bad roads...lol....especially around my aunts house in nepean.........


EDIT: yo, are u still living in ottawa cuz i just looked at ur profile thingy and its back in peterborough...

actually u know what ryan...if the car already looks nice u should just turbo it...i love the dohc zc turboed.....so fast in a car like that........so maybe, depending on ur budget just buy a few things to improve it cosmetically and then just build a nice turbo from parts from random cars...lol.....and properly tune it of course
