Default What should I do next? EJ6.



Done:
Wheel/Tires
SRI

What should I do next that will make it look pretty nice? I was thinking about lowering...but my ride is already kinda bumpy. Maybe tint? Exhaust/Headers? Front Lip (which to get and where?) Fogs (which to get and where) Cluster? Switch to SI red/clear tail lights? Paint that black bumper thing along the side to Inza Red (I have no idea how to do this...I just see a lot of sedans that paint that)


Alright, remember I'm trying to be a balla on a budget.

depends on what you wanna do, engine, appearance etc. i say get some new mirrors, and DROP IT. you cant have a car look good without dropping it atleast a little bit. for sure also get a lip. theres many things you can do to honda's and thats why its a hobby !

:D You're right. Dropping is just scary for me because my ride is already bumpy.

Tien S S-Techs for a drop? What do you suggest? And "safe".


Sidemarkers sound good to me. Do they just stick on lol? Or should I get new fenders /w them?

Does it snow hard where you live? If so dont slam it too hard. Dont want to turn the poor thing into a snow plow.

That's why there's adjustable coilovers.

And @ the OP: No, sidemarkers don't just "stick on." You use a dremel tool, cut out a rectangle hole that you measured beforehand and then you insert the sidemarker into that. Afterwards, you wire it up to whatever you want it to do (always light up; just flash on turn signal; etc).

If you don't want to dremel it yourself because you're too scared you'll mess it up or you don't have a dremel, I suggest doing some research here to find out where the right location on the fender is, taping it up so you have the outline of a rectangle then taking your car to a bodyshop so they could cut it for you.

Good luck.

That's one of the most retarded and ricer things I think I've ever heard.

What you should do next is put it back to stock.

First off, don't make your taillights 'clear', secondly, put it back to stock and use it as a daily driver and just get the benifit out of the car that gives you 30+MPG depending on how you drive it, lastly, don't mod it, at all.

Well since it seems you don't know much about cars and body work, no offense, everybody has to learn, but password jdm offers fenders precut for sidemarkers and a wiring harness for the sidemarkers
