Welcome mate! congrats on the first car, Gen 3's look hot.

As for mods I suggest changing to clear indicator globes, plus the side indicators to clear.
For tinting if it's close to you, go to Rob Tait @ Car Tint in Ringwood, he is a vendor on this forum.
And if you do go HID's I am happy to help install them for free and also show you where to source them from if you need any help.

I don't know if ill do the Front lip, i have seen it done on a couple not sure if i really like it or not yet. I reckon ill do the clear lights and for the exhaust I want a really nice one. But have no idea of costs for them roughly, plus installation so when i get it all be able to get some quotes and stuff done. The wheels I really like the ones it has on atm, seen them in like a dark shade of black looks so mad. Cheers, btw nice lib man looks so nice and clean build

Really nice colour!! I think the pre facelift Spec B wheels powdercoated black (especially on that awesome blue) would look nice

Stick with a blue/black theme

Black on blue............

Oem color against blue IMO..

Yeah i did some ideas on photoshop and the blue and black looks really nice so I reckon ill end up going for that. Not sure if i will change the rims tho, I really like the stock ones but then again i do like those Spec B's haha

** UPDATE **

I have debadged it and looking real clean now, but after taking of my "Liberty RX 2.5" badge i found was attached so now I have 2 holes in the back later i will fill them in. Now for some new parts I have just ordered and upcoming mod list.

** Parts ordered **
- Ezlip ( http://ezlip.com/ )
- Clear indicator lights ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unversal-LED-Si ... 7183053%26 )
- Club liberty stickers
- Mightcarmods stickers

Before I attach the Ezlip I am going to get the front bumper resprayed as has a couple of highway rock scratches and also get the lower center part on the front bumper sprayed a black, then also going to spray over the grill's chrome with a black.

Car looks great man! Good to see another Learner on here haha.
Looking forward to some updated pics!

*UPDATE*
Put on my Ezlip and have sanded back my grill then sprayed it. Ill have to go over it again as i stuffed up a bit but loving the look of it a lot more now.
Ill get some more pictures in day light when I can.

Here is the grill redone, i went over the whole grill this time except the badge and the color match has come out a lot better than before.
The inner fog light cover i have taken of the silver to get an all black looks
Went over the number plate covers again with sand paper and resprayed as last time it was blotchy (what $2.50 can of spray gets you)
(Some pictures in the light)

Got my headunit installed and stickers arrived today as well. Special thanks to Michael "mihai" for helping me install the headunit. Here are some new pictures!

Headunit is a Sony XAV701BT
