1. OEM Performance Kidney grill - $100-$200 depends on vendor
2. Body color painted side reflectors - front & rear - IND around $160
3. Smoked side markers (blinkers) - Amazon $62
4. Black license frames - front & rear - $40-$80 depends on vendor
5. Eyelids - Amazon $60 - from JPCarbon
6. Tinted tail lights - not sure where to go and price
7. Tinted brake light - not sure where to go or even if I want to do it
8. Wheel arches - I assume around $200 but not sure
9. H&R spacers & 22" wheels (currently on 19")
10. H&R Lowering springs.

I'm open for suggestions...
I have fairly similar mods on both of my Xs Although I don't have them the eye lids can be pulled off in my opinion. I have my tails on both tinted but with a very light tint, if you go too dark it looks cheap. Instead of the body colored reflectors I would just tint them. Third brake light dosent really need tint in my opinion I did wheel arches on my diesel it makes a big diffrence in the appearance you can get new arches with a plastic rivet kit on eBay.

My diesel with wheel arches, 22" wheels, tinted tails, tinted reflectors, black grills! H&R springs and I hated the OEM running boards so I put the smaller side skirts on.
