nice pictures, but stop taking pictures of my car. thanks. and take the front license plate off my car as well

our cars are twins as soon as u take the front license plate off it's 2 10mm bolts. slanted. look down in the daytime and u can see them.

nice car.

how much did u pay?

i paid 24,943.99 out the door with wheel locks and mudguards. wheel locks have yet to be installed and i am going to sell the mudguards.

Its badass, Ive seen it person. I'd say go I/H/E and tune it with Hondata, get some good coil overs and drop it an inch or 2, some after market sway and strut bars, some 16x7 Slipstreams or sw388s wheels, 225/45ZR17 aftermarket tires, the interior get a spooft shift **** and spoon pedals, then for the exterior, oem c/f hood, jdm badges, integra emblems, black roof, c/f trunk lid, c//f front lip. well that's just my opinion and the parts might void the warranty but I dunno.

&lt;-- agrees

Learn everything about it, how it handles and what you don't like, and work on that. IMO

Take out the engine, ECU, harness and tranny... wrap them up, and send them to me.

In all seriousness, just enjoy the ride for now. But if you just GOTTA mod, I would personally start with suspension. Drop that sucker.

Agreed. Too many people immediately modify their suspension and engine without taking into consideration exactly what said modifications will do to the dynamics of the car's powerband and handling. You can do things right or you can do them twice. My suggestion is to leave the stock front swaybar alone and put a larger diameter rear bar on coupled with some good rubber. Then again, that's the kind of setup that compliments my driving style and it may be completely wrong for you as a driver.

Drive first, mod later .

Good, I'm not the only one who thinks those look like HID's. Was beginning to think I was seeing things or something.
