Basic Cosmetics

[StreetNewb]

So this year I want to do a few cosmetic upgrades since I've done the h22a swap, I'm probably going to boost later in the year, too .

So I'm going to do:
-Window visors
-New grill (any ideas on what I should get from ebay/online)
-Legend lip
-Some type of non-ricey looking sideskirts (ideas?)
-Rear Lip (again, any ideas? I'm bad with custom fitting, lol).
-92/93 bumper swap w/ fogs

I'm also really wanting to do rust repair + repaint but it looks like that is going to run a min of $2k. :/

So my main question, asides from asking which of the above parts I should get:
I have a dented passenger side door from somebody kicking in my window. Would it be easier to:
a) Get a new door from the junk yard.
b) Swap the outter door skins
c) Pay a shop to try and hammer out dent (it's in a really shitty spot, I couldn't get to it with a hammer due to window brackets being in the way).

If you can find a decent door at the jy, that's what I would do and it would probably be the easiest thing to do...as for the cosmetic stuff, I would take care of the rust first if it's pretty bad, then I would start looking at lips and grills and stuff

The rust is just a little bit at the rear qp's but the wheel wells are good. I figure each QP will probably be about $400 + a paint job will be about $1200, and that's a cheap paint job :/

but I'm still gonna buy the cosmetics too coz im gonna get it all done soon. I just need to know what to get, for lip I'm thinking legend (if I find one!), I don't know which grill fits without looking ugly nor where to find it :/

-jack_lee is selling some g-square grilles on ebay for a decent price.
-someone on here is selling a legend lip made to fit our cb7's with a little modification
-as for the side skirts, check out the M3 style side skirts

Thanks man! Sent a msg to jack_lee in regards to the g-square. I think I might cruise around to every pick-n-pull in the valley here until I find a legend lip, and those m3s do look very nice too. Thanks for your help bro!

i like the look of OEM CD5 side skirts and the rear lip is pimp too . they will require some cutting , but no more than 1 hour per side .

Pretty sure I had my entire CD5 lip modded and installed in an hour.

Just use some tin snips to cut the plastic.

Do a DIY grille. Subtle and clean.

I did a custom mesh grill but I want my car to be (semi)-blacked out and don't want a badge in the front, g-square looks nicer imo then then bondoing the H symbol

I might just go for those, I'm not sure. I found m3's online for $127/pair + shipping (probably $100 shipping + $50 brokerage + $15 tax (hst)) so I might just look for a cd5 at p&p and grab some sideskirts from that. 1 hour isn't much time, I can deal with that xD
