Here are some pics!

I want to add the 4.8 style 20" wheels and tint the windows to about 20%. I also want to add a 16:4 widescreen nav system an hook sirius radio into it.

Heartiest congrats, Drew! Sure you are ecstatic, and am sure you will love your new buy! Great looking car, especially for a 2001! Looking at it prima facie- I would suggest the following mods, in order of priority, but that depends upon your budget:

1. Angel Eyes
2. BT with 9th Gen ULF & new version mic
3. Paddleshift Steering Wheel
4. Rear Fog Lamps
5. Rear Lights Upgrade
6. Ice-Link- thats ofcourse if you use an ipod a lot
7. 16:9 Nav- Pl do remember that this is a GREAT upgrade and really changes the looks of the interiors. However, it is an expensive proposition and certain small things here and there may not work such as aux vent, etc (not a big deal) but if you want NAV, then this is the way to go, in spite of better NAVs in the market. Pl go for the OEM look and dont do a retrofit of an AMkt head unit. Looks disgusting! I'd strongly suggest considering pts 1-6 first, and after that look at the 16:9. My 2 cents.

how much is the rear light upgrade, and could I remove the lenses that surround my xenonx to make the look closer to the euro spec ones? How much is ice link and how long will it take me to install, cause I use my iPod all the time.

Removing lenses is a pretty easy DIY, just look on the articles page. IceLink is a pretty easy DIY also, took longer to run wiring up to the front than anything else. Get in touch with Tom G. for the iceLink hookup. He will tell you exactly what you need.

Rear light upgrade is just a matter of finding the ones you want, a few nuts to undo and install the new ones.
