that is one beautiful interior...i for one kinda like the silver interior peices. I think it makes things look a bit more upscale, even if they are just silver painted peices of plastic. anyway, love the car, but not a big fan of the altezzas like everyone else. they really do stick out. and totally love the rims. keep up the good work!

I love the interior! Do you mind if I ask how much you paid for it?
Car looks good overall, but I'm with most others about the Altezzas. I had some on my car for a while. At the time, I thought they looked so great, but looking back, I can see how they, as someone put it, totally disrupt the flow of the car.
Do you have a drop? It would look even sexier if it were a little lower.

interior - had i paid it in full instead of swapping some rims and tires along with cash for the kit and install would have run close to $1200, thats including some extras, such as the arm rest in leather, the rear deck in leather, along with Protege 5 on all 4 seats and also the yellow middle section extends all the way to the bottom of the seat, normally there would have been a black section of leather at the front of the seat (hope that makes sense, otherwise i can take a pic), but without the extras my guess is the kit plus install would have cost about $1K
i would drop the car, but im already scraping my front lip as is. the area where i work is filled will all types of anti lowering dips and bumps, id only be asking for a headache...its a shame, i would love to lower it too, i hate excessive wheel gaps

ok i wanna get everyones opinion, now i love the look of the altezzas - obviously since i have them, but i agree as well about the eyesore of chrome. now which would look better - gunmetal, carbon fiber, or possibly opening them up and spraying them yellow to match the car?? keep in mind my future mods include some form of CF hood, most likely gemini reverse cowl. i only mention yellow since it would kill the chrome and would IMO blend the lights more into the car, since along that contour on the car there are no other colors except yellow. i also have an HID kit installed along with angel eyes which are waiting to be installed. so i am contemplating what to do with my headlights. i would understand painting them black and doing black altezzas...but i am unsure as to how a black headlight housing would affect the reflection of the HID's/angel eyes. oh well just figured id get some opinions, thanx in advance.

Don't spray the insides yellow. I had the chrome altezzas and tried painting the inside of mine red...it just doesn't look good. I would post pics, but I've trashed them....
jdm tails are always a good choice! I like the idea of black or carbon tails as well, but they also disrupt the flow of the car....decisions decisions....

damn decisions, hahaha, ah but thats what makes owning and working on a car fun. i would go with JDMs but i just cant get into red lenses, i like the clear lens. most likely ill purchase a set of black ones, and then ill screw around with my chrome ones, ill try painting them yellow just for s**** and giggles. who knows, ill wait for my next paycheck before making a decision, as well as some more feedback. thanx again to everyone for your feedback, greatly appreciate it.

I'd say just keep it the way it is. It's your car and you should personalize it the way YOU want it to be. Altezza's or not, that's just personal taste. I can see that you wanted to keep the chrome theme and it does work fine since you have rims with polished lips and clear sidemarkers.
Save money for performance mods.
Or GAS.
