Default What should I do to my EK Coupe?

Hey, I just bought this EK Coupe a few weekends ago and haven't done ANYTHING to it yet. I'm not sure what to do first, or even what to do at all. Lemme know what you think would make it absolutely freeeesh




(Oh, I actually did get one thing done. The back bumper was attached with those plastic tie things, so I got it professionally put on. So the space between the bumper and the car that you can see in the picture isn't actually there anymore)

Take a look into lowering, there's a write-up on taking care of that bumper sag, and paint match the side skirts and you'll be WELL on the way as far as looks. I like it already.

do what YOU want to do to your car and don't care what other people think about it. so long as it makes you happy. unless you're trying to impress people then that's a different story...i do like the car though it's clean.

Fix the bumper gap up front now, ditch the wheels, and stop calling it an EK.

Also, not sure if it's the angle of the pic or not, but is your headlight just hanging out?

Why would you remove OEM paint from OEM side moldings? If his car is an EX, all of that is stock. Is this a new trend? Just curious.

Definitely ditch the wheels and lower. I'm for LS meshes on that car.

i don't like color matched side moldings.... and his looks scuffed up, so i assumed they were painted white.

I'd fix the bumpers first things since it's cheap fix.
