First of all, i'll address the struts. need to replace the both backs. what's the best type for a 93 gxe that wont cost an arm and a leg but will still last strong?

2nd:

I rode in my friend's '03 corolla tonight. the car is straight; nuthin serious about it. but the white face gaugs are REAAAL nice. they're not like our se's. its like white, and at night its a bright white light shining on it. i can't describe it, so here's a link:

I wanna see if there's any way to convert the plain gxe lights into that. thanks for whatever you come up with on both matters.

 

struts:
tokico
KYB

dash:
look for some reverse indiglow overlays

 

either get an SE guage cluster cause the gxe guages have a green tint and you wont get that white white your looking for from the lights, go to a junk yard and find an se cluster from a vg se
