Congrats!

You need some OEM headlights first and foremost. And maybe a front Honda badge?

"Cool changes" are a matter of taste -- or the lack of it. Car looks nice as it is and subtly different from stock. It's far from almost stock and even farther from 100%. Still looks very nice though. If the aftermarket headlights are putting out good light I'd leave them alone (they're a cool change to this age car).

I left all the badges on my car mainly to let folks know it's not a Miata.

What's it look like under the hood? (Just curious since there's an intake hole in the front bumper.)

Good tires are paramount to this car's handling. Roofs are aging out about this many years.

That's not an intake hole, he's missing his tow hook cover.

Congrats on the purchase!

AP1's are round. AP2's are square.

Suspension, Rims, Tires go from there

Best value = HSK GT rims any volk's you like. 17x9 or larger
Tires look into a 255 square setup perfect street/weekend track tire.
