the car looks awesome!!! im going to give some constructive criticism, get rid of that tow hook out the back. Its only making you look like a ricer. Other than that i love how it looks lowered with the FRS rims.

Looks good, nice work. What does it mean when you say you rolled the fenders?
So I was reading about putting a turbo on my 7a, I feel that it would be to much of a hassle, any thoughts of a swap for the future? Since my engine has such low mileage i don't want to get rid of it yet. any suggestion in swaps into my st? It's embarrassing losing to my buddies civic when he has a full car and i have no one in mine.. but for now i guess i will have to suck up the lose... If anyone has some good ideas, please let me know, It might not be soon, but i want to do my research before i do it.
Your basic options are
If you want to use your stock trans ).1 4agze. Good motor ,older only puts you just over a stock gt I think
If you swap to a s54/e153 trans ). 1 3sge beams. Good dd motor, preferred by many, non turbo, but no real mods out there to make more power over stock beams power.
).2 3rd gen 3sgte, big power motor , said to be good as a dd, tons of upgrade parts out there, stock turbo, no real downside out side of some extra mantanance due to turbo being needed.
).3 v6 swap (1mz). Easy to find, good dd (has been for me anyways while I was driving it everyday) good power for non turbo motor.
Takes well to intake an exhaust mods, porting heads, porting intake. Not many aftermarket parts available. But some stock parts can be used for extra power, downsides its not been done alot, not as plug an play as the others, depending on your luck you might be stuck with a check engine light due to trans codes.

or a 2grfe and open a whole can of worms.
best thing to do now, is read, learn all your options. Hate for you to throw away a perfect engine, if its low miles. Because you wont sell it good. So you have some time. Who cares what your buddys car does. If all you want is to beat him, no engine swap is good for you. You need a car swap. Because you will always be power hungry, there is always another car that will be faster. than yours and that is a fact.
if you want to have some fun without a lot of hassle, a beams is good, but thats it, no more, no more modding and the power stops there.
1mz is another option to get a lot of power for less than a beams, requires more legwork.
the 2grfe, lol, never been done... wanna pioneer it?

Nice color!
Sucks about the bolts.
Take out the rotor and gently hammer them out. Then the new ones are put in from behind. Any you tube video can show you how, as its pretty universal
Lol, those bushings, are somewhat easy to install.
