97 Corolla Levin XZ - 4A-FE

I own a a 97 Levin XZ with a 4a-fe. I got it crashed from a friend with no engine, ecu, wire harness and the dashboard connectors were clipped.
The front left of the car was hit so i dont have headlight on that side(i need one but ebay is too expensive) and I definitely need indicators.

Presently, I am working on the motor which is already in the car, its a 4a-fe transplanted from an AT190 Corona i owned and a C50 tranny transplanted from an AW11 MR2.
The wire harness will be purchased at the month end when i get paid, mounted and then i will start her up.

My intentions for her are EXTERIOR: 16" gunmetal rims, paint the calipers purple, tribal vinyl, change the dip bulbs in the 3rd brake light on the spoiler from red to purple, change the tail light to the black housing with the 3 colors in circle and using all LED bulbs, wanna change the face to a BZ-R, carbon fiber wrap the hood, trunk and gas lid, purple/lavender under lights, 30000k HID fog light kit, 10000k HID headlight kit, coil overs, OEM side skirts and rear skirts. more mods will be added as time and money flows by.

INTERIOR: 2 bucket seats, trd shift knob and leather booth, performance steering wheel, double din touch screen dvd player, air brushed dash panels, air/fuel ratio meter, fire extinguisher, purple footwell lights purple and white T5 led in dash.

Miscellaneous: battery terminals, CAI, MSD coil pack system, 4-2-1 headers, 2" piping 2.5" after the last flange into a tuned tip.

more to come...

I personally don't think the vinyls would look nice.
Don't see a reason why you need to change your 3rd brake light to purple
Carbon fiber hood is alright, but the trunk and gas lid as well? In my book, that's a no-no
Neons just screams catch me when driving by a cop

All of these were just personal preference. Don't take them too seriously.
I prefer to keep my car as clean and stock looking as possible

That is why i asked for suggestions and ideas... to try and make up my mind.
Am actually in the small business of Vehicle Customizing and LED bulbs are what sell the most where i live. so in order to sell, i thought of building a flag car.

the carbon fiber trunk lid and gas cover i had once on a silver ST202 celica along with carbon fiber hood and it looked great.
3rd brake light... jus to be different

Alrighty, I guess keeping the under glow would be alright in order to promote
How about changing the cluster colour, and dome light?

oh yes, that is on my list too, purple festoon dome bulbs and airbrushed gauge cluster.
Thanks for noticing the missing parts. LOL
