+1 for the Bosch Aerotwin wipers. They're pricey for windscreen wipers, but they look cool, and they work so incredibly well. Long lasting too.

For a VR-X, I'd recommend replacing all the centre console lights with red LEDs. That way they'll match your red dials. LEDs are a couple of bucks each off eBay and are pretty easy to replace. I don't know why it didn't come this way from the factory. There's pictures in my Members Machines thread.

I also used the opportunity to rice up my car a little by adding white LEDs to the roof light and to the rego plate lights.

+1 for window tint. Going rate is around the $250 mark. Keeps your car cool and looks good too.

Colour-coded TL doorhandles is another option.

If you're feeling creative, you could make yourself a Ralliart-style grille (colour coded lip with black mesh at the back).

Debadging is cheap and easy. You might not want to debadge the front or back, but I don't like (or see the point in) the 3.5 badges above the side indicators.

$500 would get you lowered if you didn't want to replace the shocks.

thats a verada grill. if u wanna go a cheap option then u can try doin a grill like this. costs about 10 bucks and is pretty dam easy to do. i did it to mine untill i can afford a verada one. in my opinion though just do the strips, not the outer surround bit coz then it just looks tacky. when i get round to takin some better photos ill show you how it came up on mine.

380 ones spray a mist rather than a stream of water.
