Default Just wanted to share pics of my coupe :)

Sup ya'll my name is Jordy. Just wanted to share some pics of my coupe. Don't worry about the side mirrors im putting stock ones on after they get painted. And my headlights aren't JDM either but they work better than the stock ones did.

Let me know what you think. It's on 16" bronze rota grids, on tein springs.
I plan on putting on a front lip and getting the window's tinted and thats all im doin to the exterior.

I'd ditch the headlights for the CTR ones and call it a day. Looks good otherwise though

Yeah i wanted to keep the stock headlights but they got all foggy and scratchy looking and they light output was **** poor. I really needed good lights since most of my driving is at night and i live in deer country. So my wife bought me these cheap off ebay and the light output is way better then what the stock ones were. I guess they are good enough right now untill i can get some nicer ones.

headlights AND tail lights look cheap. also the wheels are big and ugly in my opinion. and you need to lower more. and get a lip

Yeah the headlights issue has been covered already. . they were cheap off ebay cause i needed light output. I don't see how the tail lights could be cheap though since they are stock and are what Honda made for the car and i had to pay $4,100.00 to get them, but whatever you think. .

And speed bumps are kinda high where I work so I don't wanna go any lower and I do plan on getting a lip though which I also mentioned. I respect your opinion on the wheels though. .they are 2 inches bigger than stock, but hey i like them.

Looks good minus the mirrors, but please check to make sure you put genuine Teins on, there are plenty of counterfeit springs out there and it could cause an accident

i think the headlights look good with the dark housing. change out the projectors for some hid projectors and you'll never worry about night driving again! my buddy's coupe has those headlights and look great with a set of hid's in there.

Yeah i would like to do that. . im not sure how though and i'd probably screw it up or something. It's stamped on the housing that they are not compatible with HID, but i don't know if thats for the housing or the projector itself. I would like to do a retrofit if i had the know how.

Stock mirrors are gonna be put on after they are painted, and the springs are legit, Tein S techs that I ordered from passwordjdm.com.
