Taillights look awful. Probably way-illegal too.

Welcome! If you want to boost, I would highly recommend buying a D16Y8 or D16Z6 motor to build on the side instead of working on your D16Y5. I hear your motor doesn't take boost very well, plus you can take your time building the motor if it's not in the car. You can pick up a Z6 or Y8 for very cheap, $400-$500 usually.

Be aware that any method of forced induction is expensive, save for low quantities of nitrous.

and paint my hx wheels white

I hope you don't mean spray painting? Usually spray painting wheels looks good for a little while and then the paint starts to crack and flake.

The right way to paint wheels is powdercoating. This will usually run you around $200 for all four wheels.

Your ride looks to be in good shape.
I would keep the wheels and sand/polish
them. They are collectors kind of lol. Nah,
but good luck with your ride and enjoy.

I personally don't like the blacked out tails... Smoked would look hot though Not to dark to where the cops bother you but looks better than stock... Good looking car though

Looks nice. What kind of paint did you use and prep work did you do?

I hope they last.

P.S. You should have gotten them balanced with stick on weights.
