Default New suspesion is on my car. see the differance, do you like?

ok, i put my koni yellows on a while back. With H&R race springs. The height is set on the middle perch. The suspension feels awesom. I ca also tune the harness. Let me know what you guys think of my coupe.

Without the suspension...........

with the suspension

they aren't the altezza's your thinking of. They are all clear tail lights. No stupid chrome. they look just like stock, but no red. take a look:
No suspension again.

Well, i park my car at school. Some *** didn't want to park behind me, so he rammed his car into mine, pushing it back into the car behind mine. then he parked in front of me. SO i had big scratches on the front of my car from him. He had no issurance, but i made him pay me $200 for it. Not enough to get it reainted, and its winter now, so after winter is over, im gonna get it repainted. but for now, there is a bra on the front.

I don't think they look good.

Honestly, I would get 96-98, or 99-00. I like both, it just depends on the color of the car.

In your case, I'd get the 99-00.. and my friend got his 99-00 lights "smoked" and they look decent, not my cup of tea but cool none-the-less.

smoked? I don't think i have ever seen smoked tail lights before. The only differenace in teh lights i have pictured, or si lights, is that these lights have clear lens. SI lights have the blurly lens, like whats on my car now. Im gonna keep my eye out for a set of SI tail light, but i probably won't put them on untill winter is over. Winter is so harsh on everything here. Its gonna be 0 outside tonight. definitally not going outside tonight.

I used to own a 97 EX. If I were you...I'd get those side things on the doors painted to match the car, get a decent front lip and some different wheels. like some enkei rp02's

one huge problem. Im a senior in college. im so poor its not even funny. I would love to paint all the trim pieces on my car, like the black plastic around the licence plate, and the side skirts. I have my stock HX rims which are black with a polished lip. those are my winter rims.
oh, i have LED red bulbs in my tail lights, so they look really good at night. i used to have red bulbs, but they looked pink compaired to the spolier brake light.

im trying to save my money, cause the vtec-e motor has 219,xxx miles, and i feel it might not have too much life left. so i gotta save the money for a swap here in the future.

paint the hx rims all black? is that what you were talking about? If so, do you know how long it too me to polish the lip? and how long it too to strip the paint off the rim to repaint it? im not gonna just paint them all black, thats too easy. hahaha if your talking about something else, please tell me.
