it looks very nice from the pic.no need the stupid ugly body kit.
to make it go faster..a engien swap or turbo are direct and effective mod.

Re: (ek forever guy)
I have a feeling this is going to get locked soon, but my advice, dont buy a bunch of stupid small things, instead save your money up for that motor swap or turbo kit

Re:
Looks pretty clean as-is bro. Maybe some wheel spacers or sumthin to widen your stance. But, I would focus on the performance side..turbo, swap, NA..watever you decide to go with.

All of the trim besides the sideskirts comes pre-painted by Honda on the EX coupe. The Si trim is all painted, including the sideskirts. The DX and HX have unpainted mirrors, side molding and plate garnish (and sideskirts).
I wouldnt' just do what others want you to do. Start looking at photos, figure out what you like. Then buy said parts. Going fast will also require research.

Get an oem si lip, will make all the difference in the world. Either paint match everything or you can leave the trim black (door handles, si grill, skirts, si lip). Either way it will look good. Just my .02.
Oh, and pick out some nice rims. Rims definitely make the car.

So he asked how to make it look nicer, added a pic for reference... but he also asked how to make it faster. And usually 5th gen and 6th gen specific questions go in this forum anyway. Someone could make a thread here asking about what lips are available for 5th gens... it shouldn't be moved to Appearance / Cosmetic. That section seems more for photo threads, not questions that are model or generation specific.

Re: (PinoyxEJ6)
just add some simple mods the motor to make feel a little faster. add an intake, headers and straight piping w/ an exhaust that has no back pressure. You feel a nice little improvement. but i would recommend you just save you money for a swap.

Re: (NOFX)
Do very little until you're sure exactly what to do with the car. Make a game plan, do some research. Every move you make with your car, you're better off making sure that you do it right the first time, or you'll pay in the end. Manage your time and your money wisely, and she'll come out wonderfully. GL with your plans!
