i'm pretty sure it is lowered, it's just that it cant go any lower because of the fat tires that are on there, :-o

OEM...the whole car had a paintjob, and the painter painted over the stock sideskirts and front lip spoiler...thats why it looks weird.

If they are in good condition, you could probably get a good buck for them, its just they are too big for a honda. Try setting a high price for the wheel tire combo, like 500 bux i guess, then let people work it down to a point your happy at. im sure there are some ricer people out there who will pay some cheese.

amber or stock corner lights.
take mesh **** out of grill.
paint wheels a dark color/sell and get dark rims.
lower car more.
get stock taillights

thats where i would start, but a big thing you do have going for you is the oem fogs

Gun metal might be interesting, as would bronze.

I'll talk it over with my bro tomorrow and see what he thinks, thanks for the input.

I wonder if they even removed the trim when painting the car. I think they just left them on and started shooting on the color. I bet if you popped of the side moldings it would be stock color under there . The OEM fogs are nice and the Si/Ex OEM lip always looks good. Just get rid of the clear corners and pull that ricer grill off.

Yeah, the kid i bought the car off previously totally loved his rice, I've been doing audio stuff first since it didnt come with any speakers, and the OEM deck overheats.

They didnt remove anything with painting it, Maako sucks hard. if you get really close, you can see they didnt even prime it or anything, just straight painted right over the teal which was on it before. I could probably scrape the paint off and have the stock paint job be mint (not really though)

but still, thanks for the suggestions guys.
