Looking for Aftermarket Parts for 98 Diamante
I have a 1998 Mitsubishi Diamante (hence the thread).
I was wondering if anybody knew where to get some good aftermarket parts online or around the North Houston area?
1) Trim: I want to replace the woodgrain trim around the car with something (ANYTHING) better (IE: Airbrush Aluminum, Carbon Fiber, etc). All I can find online are these stickers that go over the existing trim but I would rather replace the actual trim, as some of mine are cracked.
2)Instrument Lighting: I want to replace the standard instruments with Euro or Reversed Lighting gages.
3) Headlights: It would be nice to replace the dull factory headlights with LED or HID lighting. I have found some "HID Conversion Kits" online but they just replace the bulbs but sit in the same housing. As these are illegal (because they do not focus the beam) I would like to find an entire headlight or a kit that also replaces the reflective housing inside as needed.
4)ODB2 Tuneup: I would like to be able to tuneup the car with a decent ODB2 kit.
5)Any other decent modifications, IE: lighting, body kits, spoilers, and/or any other parts that are made for or would fit a 1998 Mitsubishi Diamante.
I found this video on youtube HERE but it just seems to be some lighting, he did change the color of the instrument lights, and the Halo Headlights.
If anybody has any insight on where to get these parts or an import store that may be able to help I would greatly appreciate it.

I saw the video and the lights inside look pretty cool. Though for me it was better if the neon lights were a bit dimmer. I have seen some aftermarket auto parts los angeles near Carson. You can check that if you want.
