Hello, picked up my 2003 EP3 last month from the original owner! It was bone stock except for an air intake, Alpine cd/radio, and a couple of LED bulbs. It was accident-free, rust-free Florida car with 185k miles and 75 service records from CarFax. It had a recent respray of nighthawk black pearl. I think $3k was a good price for a clean, stock car with service records.
It sat like a minivan so first thing I did was get Tein coilovers with Skunk2 rear camber kit professionally installed for about a 2 inch drop. (Had a bad ball joint so had both of those replaced as well.) I just ordered some Avid 1 wheels and Falken Azenis 200tw tires from Fitment Industries so hopefully will have those on in a couple of weeks and I will go autocrossing! (Have autocrossed my past miatas and mustangs so will be interesting to drive a fwd car.) Will be getting some other suspension goodies down the road.
As for a minor cosmetic mod I put black side markers front and rear.
I am waiting on some new tailights with black housing as well.
