any good ideas for exterior for a 98 gt?

i just dont know what i want to get for my car anymore, i was thinking about just lowering it and getting wheels, but i want more than that!

my list so far for what im getting is:
-17" wheels and tires (not sure of what kind i want though)
-eibach springs
-kyb struts
-some sort of cat back or axle back exhaust (not sure what kind i want for that either)
and then i dont know what else i should do!

so, anyone have any ideas for me?

I have a 98 GT Wagon, and have lowered it with WL springs and KYB/Agx's. I would recommend you find some JDM Sidemarkers, which directly replace the existing trim section behind the wheelwell. great appearance item.
I would also recommend stainless brakelines and Hella SuperTone horns.

ScoobieGt, I got them about 2 years ago from a gent that's not on the boards any more, sorry. I do think I had heard japanparts might have them. I had to paint them to match body color as well. You'll also most likely have to come up with bulb sockets too. Good luck with the mod! It's well worth the trouble. Wiring is simple as well, wiring them to the 2 outside wires of 3 from the corner lamp socket. That way they work as markers as well as winkers.

Oh, another note. If you look closely at my valve stem caps they are plastic with the Subie 7 stars emblem. Look cool, if small. Search for "logo caps".

no, I just saw it outside rallitek when I was down there one day and I happened to have my camera with me. I asked Sean (owner of rallitek) where the car's owner got it and the owner said that he had bought the car like that and didnt know where the kit was from

good news is you can now get the same kit from rallitek
