The retrofits ended up working out pretty well, but I had trouble mounting the lens. This is when I decided I should probably go the other route and focus on more important things than investing all my money into a $6,000 car. I then began to pull her apart and bring her back to stock:

Got stock tail lights.. cleaned them up and replaced the LEDs...







Also got the OEM headunit, it was from a different car and I don't want to pay to get it unlocked, so I'm going with another aftermarket unit.








I then replaced my headlights with stock headlights that are in crap condition and removed my roof rails.




Also, removed my intake and replaced it with the stock intake:

Put her in the garage to start last night...



After I finished:
