Yep, I'm leaving the rice side. I'm probably starting this thread a few days too soon because some of my parts are not here yet but this is what I have got so far.
It isn't so much that I don't like body kits or big rims anymore but it has just become impractical to me anymore. I have been having a problem with my rear bumber hitting the ground and breaking and then I have bent my 18" rims about three times now so I have finally decided to lose the stuff and be able to drive my car instead of baby it. Since I can do my suspention work now (body kit was already low so I couldn't lower it anymore) then I will probably pick up auto-xing next summer if they meet close enought to me. I'm still not gonna lie, I know I will like it being clean but a part of me will always miss the way it is now.
What I have already done:
1. Replaced body kit rear bumber with stock bumber
2. Ordered Si tailight replicas (should be here monday)
3. Ordered 16" Spoon replicas, made by Drag with Nitto tires. (Will be here moday for sure)
Here are my plans for now:
1. I'm not going to install the rims until I get my sideskirts and front bumber on because they will lower my car too much.
2. I just picked up a magnaflow catback but it has not been shipped yet so I don't know when it will be here. When it gets here it will be installed the next sunday along with a dc sports short shifter that I had laying around for 2 years and never got around to installing.
3. Type R front and rear lips.
4. I am getting an air compressor, paint gun, and impact wrench for x-mas so I am taking my wing off then having someone weld the holes for me then I will sand it down and paint the trunk myself.
5. Tein SS coilovers with top mounts, I decided I wanted something a little better than just shocks and springs.
I still need to find some side skirts that don't cost a furtune, I sold mine for $35 not knowing what they were worth so I am gonna lose money buying new ones...
Here is a picture of where I started from in the dericing process. It is dark right now or I would get current pictures, I will do it tomorrow. Just imagine it without the lambos and with a stock rear bumber.
Edit: I forgot about this part, my engine bay.
When I brought it home:
When I riced it more:
Current: (final things I will be adding is a dc sports CS-II strut bar and an Torque Dampener)
Halos:
DC Sports 4-1 > Ebay 4-2-1:

Well it's about time you came to your sences 
Just an FYI though...Rota's are replicas, so your wheels aren't Rota replicas, they are Spoon replicas

Yeah just thought i would give the heads up, cause Rota's are replicas them self, so you technically can't replicate a replica.
