Stage 1
Well lads thought I already introduced myself here but must not have, anyway names Stephen from Ireland driving a 98 BZ-R Levin. Have it since November last year, great car very fast just doing a few bits myself to it.
Pretty standard but here's some of the spec:
Rare Sunroof Model
OEM Factory fitted lip
OEM Wind Deflectors
Trueno Headlights
Bomex Spats
TRD Spoiler
5zigen 304 Boarder cat-back
Enkei RS wheels. (Had buddyclub P1's but changed um for these)
Superstrut Model
6 Speed
TRD Springs
Upgraded leads
OEM 5 piece Mat set

Plans are:
Have a Cwest bumper bought just to have small repairs done.
Powdercoat the enkei's
More Lows

Here's how it looked when I bought it:

Welcome Steve! Nice Levin mate. Cwest bumper will look good on your car, but you may need a pair of prefacelift sideskirts to match the rear spats and front bumper. What's wrong with your headlights? Try grind them a bit with 1200 sand paper, then with a 2500 paper and polish them. They will look like new ;)

Have a quick check on my review of two different headlight UV protection systems if you're interested.

Otherwise, just keep them polished and waxed with a polish/wax that provides some UV protection. When you polish headlights you take away the factory UV protection, and then the yellowing/crazing will come back faster the next time but also will often affect the plastic itself, rather than just the coating.

The Levin looks great, mate. Will look great with a CWest bumper for sure :)
