Default Jdm part suggestions?

Ok, so after 6 years of wanting I am finally getting a Jdm hatch and bumpers, my good friend is a marine stationed in Okinawa and he is going to get me my parts and send em to me.
So obviouslly parts I want are hatch, bumpers, center console, and steering wheel.

Do you guys have any other suggestions of parts I should get? since this is probably my only opportunity to get parts I want to make sure I get all I want lol

Which seats? Wouldn't the front ones get in the way
Because my automatic shifter is on the floor and not the column like Jdm? Door panels would be sweet.

JDM Sonar Headlights from Japan are sick. HID. Hard to find stateside. And when they do sell. They go for 300 to 400. Buy one or a few. Then make a profit.

Kenstyle Lip kit. Jdm wheels from japan to. Look up some genuine jdm wheels. See if your buddy can hook you up. Just a few ideas

I'm getting the hatch and steering wheel for sure, but I might not get the bumpers, depending on shipping to okinawa, I might just go with a Fab body kit. Im still thinking.

Chrome extreior handles would prolly be cheap. Don't buy SONAR headlights, they are all too common here in the states and they look a mess. Insurance companies usually buy those beacues they are cheaper than stock.

Headlights (Zenki/Keoki(sp?)), little interior stuffs. I think wheels and bumpers are too large to ship EMS, but I could be wrong. The "service shipping" is designed to send clothes and little trinkets home for soldiers, not really ship bumper sized things.

if your getting the hatch shipped , the bumpers are not much bigger, plus where would you put the plate if you get the hatch! put them all in the same box and ship. the bumpers are what makes the bB so different than the xB. The xB bumpers are about two inches thicker. Couple of JDM pieces that I don't see people getting are the optional lower storage under the center console and I saw an upper dash sun glass holder that sits next to the speedo and ties into the speaker. http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/s...rs/item/bb044/

You don't see people getting that add on because it will only work for the right hand bB. the angles/bends/slope wont work on our left hand dashes.

With the mods completed around here... I am surprised that someone hasn't. The upper glove box is meant for the other side but people are modding them and making it work.

Yeah^ but it doesn't involve destroying the part lol. It is a simple cut made to the plastic on the side...most of the smaller things are about $100 (a little over now) to import and ppl arent willing to do it on individual items.
