Default Nothing dramatic .... just a RICEd out 4DR

Nothing new... just a new lip (painted it myself). I didn't want to spend 80-100 bones just to get the lip painted at the shop, so I went to Autozone and bought 4 rattle cans (17 bucks), and viola. There you have it. Comments & flames are welcome.

Yeah, I was debating on doing them while I was doing the lip. I was too lazy after I finished sanding the lip, so I said fuggit . One day

I'm surprised you guys like rice haha. Thanks

Don't get me wrong guy... I love the wingless look too, but when I took my wing off, I ran into a problem. You know that tar, or whatever adhesive Honda uses between the wing and the trunk... well, that sh*t did not want to come off. I tried Goo-Off, or Goo-Gone whatever it's called, and no luck. So I said "fuggit!" and slaped the wing back on. Oh well, I like the wing look as well, so it doesn't really bother me.

Thanks for the tips, but I already thought about all your suggestions. At first I didn't really digg the chrome window trims, but after I slapped my wheels on, I thought they actually compliment each other, so I said "fuggit!".

And the visors are next on my wish list already... Just gotta wait for Santa to bring em.

Negative, I'm waiting untill a warm day comes up so I can put one more layer of paint, and then I'll spray the clear. It's been kinda cold lately here in the bay.
