Also have a cold air intake coming so look out for that update. I am going to powdercoat the pipes gold before I install it though.

I'm likin' the tints. Too dark for me, cause I don't want to get pulled over but I would have gone that dark if I wasn't scared (peep)of the Five-O.

That looks just like my old car. Mine was a red 98 L. I went from stock to a WRX swap, here's how it looked when I sold it... pretty subtle but way nicer than stock. 300hp helped too.

1/19/09 UPDATE:
Installed a home depot front lip, and tinted the turn signal lights set in the bumper as well as the side markers on the fenders:
I added a little JDM touch to my tail lights with some spray tint. Still desciding if I like it or not:
Painted the alternator and power steering cover gold:
Painted center console and radio surround:

don't know how I feel about the painted interior, looks like you did a great job on it though
Home Depot front lip FTMFW.....I wish I could track down the first person to come up with the idea and shake his hand

The black and grey interior is just to plain and boring for me. I won't go to crazy with it like a lot of ricers do. I agree about the home depot lip. I would through him a parade. lol

1/19/09 UPDATE II:
Installed my hybrid intake tonight with the help of obsnw. I got a full cold air intake for it but was told that CAI or SRI's don't work well with the MAF on my car. So I improved the air flow on the stock intake by removing all the plastic piping and torque box. Here she is. I will eventually powdercoat the intake pipe gold:

Having gone down the same path before... don't bother with the engine bay. Period. If you're remotely serious about the turbo swap, it's all coming out anyway.
Spend your money on suspension upgrades now because all of that carries over, and it makes the car a lot more fun to drive.
