So I'm planning to spend about $3000 on my car in changing it up, making it look cleaner.
Here's the main things I want done
-New paint
-New Rims
-Wings West Lip in front

I would like some input on what would look the best, should I color match the lip, what rims, etc.
I would also like to get my sub-frame up front fixed so my headlights will line up correctly, all f***ed up due to previous owner.

Here's some pics. I know, it hurts to look at. :/
Taillights are back to stock, fogs are flat black, and i took of the hideous spike thingys on the back

FRESHTEG

^^^FRESHTEG is basically telling to make you car look like everyone else honestly your coupe is clean yea tail lights suck u said u already changed em id say go for a swap or if your realy just going for apperance then color matching the lips would be something diff droppin it some more is always nice but you know your driving terrane more then we do lol so that ur call and like FRESHTEG said the konig retrack are some hella sick rims come with a nice lip and look clean but good work so far on your car everyone once to be JDM but do you i think you car is pretty clean maybe some recaro seat would be another +

disagree
get oem or red/clear tails
paint the rest of your interior black
get bys lip or stick with yours/ lose your rear lip, get ek skirts
take off those honda center-caps, everyone knows those arent oem
take off the decals
paint the license plate garnish, door handles, mirrors the same as the car, or else its a dx
refit and get thinner fender turn signals

damn man, I'd color match everything, replace the tails, then leave it. otherwise, it looks good as it sits.

stick with the same rims. those are tight.

I have red/clear tails right now
I dont want to spray paint my interior, unless you have another option, lol
Honda center caps stay, i'd rather have those then no cap, gettin new rims anyways
It is a dx, and proud of it. lol, mirrors are staying black.
Thanks for the input though.

singlecamslamed

yes i do, lol
i have some insane driveways where i live, sucks. I've dumped it more before but my lip has gotten so f***ed up from it. :/

Im actually going for a darker red, in certain like this color looks really orangeish pink, dont like it at all. I've seen some sick em1's red, im pretty sure its milano red, and i dont think mine is. lol
like this...

I would say leave it like it is. If you want to repaint it thats fine but the car looks sick to me. A lot of people want you to go all jdm, but they forgot the reason we started modding our cars in the first place, which was to make them one of a kind and our own car. So keep it as is, maybe boost the D series or swap it and repaint it

OMFG that EK's hot. Definitely not Milano red, but I don't know what it is.. Maybe Jalapeno Pearl or something from an Integra.

lol i just got owned, oh well

$3000........ Hmmm

How's your suspension?
I would go with ol faithful.... Koni yellows on ground controls
And def sway bars they'll make a world of difference. Thats $1200 deep already

Get S2000 seats upfront. $700 pair in 95% condition
^^^ i would know i just got some with rsx type s rears. WOOOOT. WOOOT

And a good paintjob of you're choosing but a good paintjob not no maaco shet

Or scratch it all and install a hairdryer with a good tune and call it a day

fastrxu

Oh and keep youre mirrors black like the champ white ctr replica next to the ek

ficx your damn hood gap put a core support in it that ***** been hit in the front end trust me i see it all the time I work in a body shop.

singlecamslamed

Exacxtly, I posted that the whole front sub frame has been f***ed up so my headlight fitment sucks, i want to put some of the money into getting that fixed.
Plus its an aftermarket hood and bumper. :/ bad decision on my part.

singlecamslamed

Im on Tokico Illumina Whites, Skunk 2 coilovers and Matrix Springs.
Suprised on how smooth it rides.
And im not racing, basically going for appearance, would sway bars even be worth it??

I love that you're keeping the black trim pieces on your DX, I did too. I like it, screw jdm. That red coupe is hot, I don't think it's milano red, that's what mine is and I think mine's just a bit lighter. But it could just be the lighting I guess.

I would definitely fix up that front end, then maybe get some wheels first. You could get some sexy volks if you want to sink a lot of your money, or get rotas.

i agree with this guy ^^

i like the black pieces together with the red. i think it looks awesome.

honestly i like the car the way it is.

if the paint is bad then get it repainted
