All the products I have used are pretty good.

It was the first time I used the NXT car wash and the Ice interior detailing gel.
The car wash works really well. Super sudsy and def. a good one.
The ICE gel is okay. It smells like a cheap motel after its been cleaned in a way, and when you squirt the gel out use the slighest force! It cleans, and like it says doesnt leave a fake looking shine, however...it didnt leave any good looking shine in my opinion. Eh.

I love the Type-R grill and CF tail lights combo, now just get some mismatched, unpainted body panels! Just kiddin man, it is definitely an improvement and your date will notice and appreciate that you put in the time for her.

lol
The tail lights are actually custom black DIY ones by me. They were the chrome Altezza ones, but I decided to make them black instead, and while I was at it I made it so they had chrome rings like Mazdas now have. They look waay better in person! Plus they were still wet, hence the cloudiness border! You can seethe ringson the 3rd to last picture.

Thanks man! I think she'll like it too!

I take it back, yeah I remember reading about your lights when you painted them. I looked closer, they look nice.
