so heres my scenario! been saving up for a while now and have accumulated about 4k for the upgrade of my car (Em1), heres what i had in mind and rough quotes from shopping around! Not interested at the moment in engine based mods...im more a cruiser in style kinda person! so heres what i got

HID (whitish with tinge of blue)-250
Fog lights -100
Clear side indicators - 50
Lower car -2K
tint/alarm - 500
short shifter (Shunk2)- 200

Any suggestions on better deals for the quotes i got already..more so any suggestions on lowering the car and coil overs as i'm at a loss as to good decent brands/quality....that goes for alarms and tints as well?

heres my car just in case...the black one! stock as a rock!

Rims cost too much and theres too much hassle involved! prefer stockies!

Nubs, Don't listen to them.

Dump it on STOCKIES!!!

You're in Sydney right? Go to Martin (TGZBOI, I think is his username) he does a awesome tinting Job :)

HID (whitish with tinge of blue)-250 (could find them on eBay cheaper if you look :D)
Fog lights -100 (that's a good price imo)
Clear side indicators - 50 (prob around 100 for real deal ones off a prelude or civic ek9)
Lower car -2K (that's about right for just the units alone, but skunk2 supplied and fitted in QLD were around the 2900 mark)
tint/alarm - 500 (bout right for an immobiliser and 3m tint)
short shifter (Shunk2)- 200 (Toda has a model by MFactory that Im getting, slightly cheaper and carbon steel dual bend)

What type of foglights are you getting?
Have you seen what clear indicators look like? Just making sure because personally I prefer the amber.
For lowering the car I think you could check out the BuddyClub N+ from JDMYard. The adjustable height will be handy for when you decide to get some new rims. Or maybe a set of Skunk2 coilovers from the USA.
