Fine looking X! The first think I'd do is wheels if you're interested in making it look better. Perhaps you could be the "new" second in line for 132's - I think they'd look great with that color!

First thing I would do is to change the headlights to the Sport Package clear version. It looks like in your pictures you have the Halogen headlamps. If so, here's a set of Sport Package headlights that would be a nice replacement - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-03...32838074QQrdZ1

(not my auction - do your own research)

Keep these wheels for winter and change the wheels to 19" or 20". Change the front grill or put chrome tape on them. Get running boards.

Nice ride. Bigger wheels will make it look a LOT better.

Nice X.
first things first get rid of the yellow markers, they kill the look of the car. then it is up to you as to how you want your X to look. Mod it to your taste but keep it close to OEM as possible. It all depends on how much $$ you want to invest on it..
