So this is my 97 LX 4Door I bought it last year off craigslist for $300 running. I t had 254,xxx miles bone stock original owner with a CRAP load of maintence records.
So when I got her the brakes were soft the resonator pipe was rusted off hanging and the right rear door was stuck closed. So when I got her the first thing I did was get a MagnaFlow Cat back. here Are the pics I will update as much as possible.

Then I picked up a set of Ebay projectors with the LED light thing.

So after those purchases I decided that I didnt want to go that route anymore so I sold the headlights put my OEM ones back in. Sold the 17"s and put her back on steelies. More updates soon.
So I got a set of Black housing headlights and a set of 50/50 tails, Megan header. Also replaced my hood due to rust and the front bumper due to a racoon, with a Mugen replica front lip.

Looks like a solid start. Good to hear you lost the projector headlights and the 17's.
