Default Suggestions on cleaning up my car...

I came to this forum stupid, and am still stupid...but at least now have some taste and would like to make my car a little more clean.

You can check my sig for latest pictures i have...granted ALL the stickers have been removed, im redoing my interior, momo wheel and black/grey momo seats.. stock black shifter boot.

I want to keep my body kit because i like it, but im selling my rims. What would be some nice looking 17" rims...i really like these: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=340150...so looking for something similar.

Iuno just bored at work...looking for some flammage and suggestions.

Peace.

Sell body kit.
Sell stereo
Buy CTR SRS Steering wheel to replace existing one
Buy B18C5 changeover to replace D16Y8
Sell D16Y8 changeover to CX owner.
Sell 17" rims and buy 15" wrap in Falken Azenias
Replace cluster with 99-00 SI cluster

get some 17 inch Advan Model 5's! I like that body kit actually. I say keep it! I would love to have a stereo if I had the money, but even if I did, there would be other stuff to pay for.

Ditch the giant "steal me" sticker in the back window.

if you want 17" get some Rota Subzeros – just my opinion

1.Remove the tint or get a clear tint
2.If you prefer 17s maybe some bronze volk te- or a gunmetal rim with polished lip
3. buddy club or c-west body kit. (Or leave your kit)
4. some different type of mirrors, JDM power folding,spoon, spoon look alikes, anything but the dumbos.

the car is not that bad dude, just do what makes you happy, you are the one that has to look at it everyday and it is your money. so just do whatever makes you happy.

Dont jump on the damn Honda-Tech bandwagon!!!!!!!!

I think your bodykit and wheels look REALLY NICE You should keep them.

Loose those stickers, and keep those wheels and body kit, very nice. I think it is sooooo retarded that 80% of the cars on this site look near identical, yours is original.

Please don't succumb to all these super biased oppinionated honda-techers that think every Honda should look identical and stock.

P.S. Those white wheels look tight on your white car, don't sell out with that black wheel crap

I got that kit on my 4dr...love it and youre the first person, besides me of course, that i have seen with that kit. I too am sick of showing and looking to go, but i am going to get a load of engine work done before i change anything on my cars body back or anything. I won't lie, I love the look that everyone has here, and if i were in the position again, i would spend every dime of the cash form the kit and hood and heavy enkii 17"s on performance upgrades. Oh well, at least I love my kit, I get compliments from even old people all the time.

The way I see it is do your car up the way you want it even if that means altezzas and a 4 foot park bench. As long as you can back it up with some engine work.

Thanks a lot for the comments. As i stated all the stickers have been removed and ive done a little bit of engine work..minor crap but still im working on it.

The kit is the Kaminari kit, its not seen a ton i think because its a bit on the pricey side, and the front three sections are fiberglass..have to be very careful driving especially since the sides of the front are only 3.9" off the ground.

I hate my interior, i really gayed it up when doing it *sigh* so i think that is the first thing ill redo.

Notice to anyone else that switched their tail lights out for 99-00 SI tails....Make SURE to get amber bulbs...got a ticket today for white rear turning signals
