Building Advice From Stock Up, Want to upgrade a stock 6G... Options

[ikey_karapat]

First up I have a Stock 96' E-ST202; I am currently putting together a list of materials I need to bring it up a few notches. I have just about 6 months before I start working on it, so I want to do as much research as possible so I don't have issues when I start work. Also I'm planning on doing a lot of the work myself with the help of my mechanic. Last thing; I live in the Caribbean so my Celi is Japanese ... Please anybody feel free to say what you think, I need real honest and straight advice...

Here are my ideas so far:

Engine:
For now I only want to convert the Automatic Transmission to Manual because I just can't stand that lazy automatic...

Exterior:
-Full body kit (suggestions please)
-18" Rims w/proper tires
-Not too obvious but nice rear wing
-Maybe change headlights and tail-lights (something shiny-er)
-Lambo Doors

Interior
-Leather seat covers or racing seats
-Double DIN head unit (Touch Screen, DVD, MP3, etc...) Thinking of Panasonic CQ-VD6503U
-New mids (possibly explods), tweeters and two 8" subwoofers in the rear
-Carbon fiber dash panels, and door controls

Please any advice or opinions is welcome, thanks much....

For headlights and tails go JDM projectors and JDM tails. Body kit wise I don't really like body kits. Go for the gt4 front end conversion. Although 18"s will fit, I'd rather go 17" for a smoother ride. O yeah definately upgrade your suspension.
