Default My Honda Civic after 1 year! Check it out!

Supp Everyone! I just wanted to post some pics on my Honda to see what you guys think of it after a year. I haven't done much too it performance wise, just looks. The engine is still stock. There's new suspension, new rims, lips and intake. Other wise everything is normal for a 97 coupe. So tell me what you guys think of my progress and how my car looks :D Thanks!

So after one year your car is on the radar for thieves. Nice. Hopefully you have an alarm.

Ditch the pinstripes, the taillights are fine, and color match your parts.

Haha Thanks for the inputs. Yeah I wanted to get some Si' tailights but, it might not match. And as for the pinstripes and such I'll get rid of those later when I can. Does that mean I gotta repaint tha car? or is there some way to get the stripes off. And yeah the lips are fitted poorly... anyone know why? is it cuhz i didn't put them on right or ... its the wrong type? i dnno. But yeah I need to find some center caps. HAha

Don't get rid of the taillights.

Btw, Si taillights are the same as any other USDM '99-'00 coupe taillights.

i did this to take my pinstripes off my old accord.

step one, hot sunny day (it helps)

step two, old credit card you dont use

step three, start peeling up the edge of the pinstripe, grab the edge and peel it off while using the card to help it out. if your end breaks, start again.

step four, bug and tar remover, goo gone, etc, remove pinstripe glue

step five, wash and wax

step six, beer

step seven, beer

step eight, beer

step nine, AHHHHH!

Pinstripes can be a real pain to remove by hand. I've seen some where they break once every millimeter or so. You celebrate the times when it doesn't break for a whole three millimeters or more.
