Default Ways to improve apperance?? 97 Accord SE

I've been working on this 97 Accord for a while and just painted it white. What are some other ideas to improve the looks of the car?

New driver's side fender; use trim paint on the lower valances, lower grille, and mudguards; remove the paint on the tail lights; clean up the overspray on the upper grille and in the fender wells; get a new H badge for front and rear; ditch the Wal-Mart fog lights in favor for some OEM units; locate some +1 or +2" sizing wheels and tires; lower the car on some quality coilovers or springs with new dampers... the list will entirely depend on what you have for a budget.

Pretty much echoing what Toyo said. Ditch those tails, fogs and wheels.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

do you YOU think looks good, it doesn't matter what we think looks good.

i would slam it on wheels that cost more than the car.

What was the point of painting it in the first place, with all that body damage?
