Hey everyone, I joined a couple of weeks ago to get an idea of how to get a blacked out front grill look on a 2013 LX however I just ended up ordering a 2014 model with that as the standard (three weeks away from delivery). I want to get some ideas of what you would do in terms of engine modification and exterior/interior looks to get some ideas along the cars journey. Preview:

Dean, you would have to come out to a meet and have a look at our cars. Gratz on the purchase mate

You can black out the bumper using plasti dip or vinyl wrap, from there you can buy a chrome strip, it's all pretty straight forward!

congrats on the purchase!!!

the guys will be able to look after you in the way of mods

With an LX, you've already got most of the interior goodies anyway, maybe do some led floodlighting - I'd add an underseat sub to the existing audio system, its an easy upgrade and makes a huge difference - I used the Pioneer one: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PIONEER-TS-WX110A-OVERSIZE-8-SLIM-ACTIVE-SUBWOOFER-SUB-INBUILT-AMP-AMPLIFER-UTE-/271225845873?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f2651f871&_uhb=1

Exterior-wise, grab a set of 18" Ralliart wheels (should cost around $550 for a good set) and a rear wing if you don't already have one. Also consider doing a gloss-black vinyl roof (I did mine and continued it down across the bonnet too)

White's the best colour for modding - everything stands out!

Read the mod forums, ask questions and enjoy!

:-D

Pretty much this! Lx was a good choice to be honest, THe leather seats are amazing!

And all the other perks of owning a white car is you can pretty much add any colour you want

!

Im planning on a roof wrap and a black evo bonnet eventually

and leaving my front bumper as is! :3
