Buff out those headlights, and give it a nice Polish and Wax, and it'll shine, but right now, the paint seems to be really dull, so it's taking away my opinion on my car, when the paint is nice and shiny, I can then judge how good it looks 
i agree with Error404, when i was looking at the pictures i noticed it was kind of dull but thought it was just me. and doing something with ur headlights wouldnt hurt. i was thinking more on the lines of a diy gunmetal housing for those headlights. i think if u did them black they would stand out to much.
Nice coupe
wow man, i'm jelous of your wheels. i almost traded my LS meshiesfor a set. but they were 17's and they needed new tires. . . . anyone think i should do it?
BTW the car looks really nice! keep it up. i think it needs to be a bit lower in teh front man.

.. I really considered getting those instead of my current ones but price was a pretty good deterrent.. But I think my next wheels may be those in bronze..
thanks for all the comments guys. i really do love these wheels. they are nice and light and are 15x7. the tires are 205/50/15 so that i stay within the stock diameter.
i hate my headlights as much as you guys do, but my B18B1 motor sitting in the garage keeps stealing the money that should go towards new headlights. i'm not even going to mess with taking these apart and painting them because the lenses are WAY too nasty. i'd rather just buy brand new lights. definitely thinking a gunmetal color or the straight clear. black would just be too dark for my car.
right now the car is siting on Eibach Pro-Kit springs with stock shocks. for some reason the car seems to sit higher in the front. the only thing i can think of is that i've hauled a LOT of heavy stuff in my trunk in the year and a half i've owned it and maybe that has had an effect on the suspension. i'm hoping to go with a set of full coilovers in the future.
the paint on my car is dull, but its a 97 and i think its probably never been waxed in its life, lol. it started out as a company car and then was owned by a couple other people. you can see parts of the car where the clear has actually oxidized and is almost coming off. in a couple years i want to drop the coupe off at a body shop and have them fix all the dents and dings and just respray the whole car. for now while i'm in school this mediocre paint will have to do, haha.
