Default Suggestions/ ideas for my DD 4th

I've got this itch to do stuff with my 94 si.

Problem is, I'm not a racer, I'm not interested in racing or going very very fast.
Well at least in this car.. my auto DD.

I thought I was done fixing it up after the new wheels, but it just doesn't feel DONE yet...

Suggestions/ ideas?

My goal is to just have a very very nice daily that looks nice and different from all the civics around here. Having a prelude is already pretty "different" but I'd also like to stand out in the prelude crowd in town as well. :D

Also I'd like to be as JDM/OEM as possible and also get better mileage.

So far I've done:
- JDM door visors
- .5" lowered on Tein H-Techs (and I'm not going any lower.. I already scrape with 3 people in the car over speed bumps -_- )
- OZ 15" rims
- Spoiler delete
- Accord rear lip
- JDM one pieces & corners

Other than that it's completely stock. Maintenance is up to par. Stock cloth interior.

How it stands now:


Thinking about:
- Intake for gas mileage?
- Accord type R front lip.. will it scrape?


Thanks fer lookin'

i think it looks pretty damn good as it is. maybe a new front lip if u wanna look different in the prelude crowd. jdmshit has a nice spoon replica, gtechpro(an ht member) just made a lip that looks pretty damn good to u gtechpro. u said ur not too worried about the go so id stick with the apperance...maybe some nice jdm fogs?

if u want the intake id go with the ebay n k&n filter. i would go against the accord type r only bc it takes some modifying to fit right but thats my thoughts. its ur car.

well if your looking to stay around the stock look. you could add

side markers
accord side skirts
accord type r front lip

doing things like painting your calipers and minor interior details (itr shift boots, seats) are suddle yet get the job done.

I'm not too fond of the spoon style.. looks tacky IMO. But fogs would be great...
As for the intake filter, do you mean a cone style or a drop in replacement? If cone, I could just slap it onto the stock intake?

I also don't mind doing the work to install things.. so the install issues with an accord lip wouldn't be a problem. I'm just worried about scraping it on curbs.

Ah side markers I just need access to a dremel..
Accord side skirts... how do they look on the bb4? Are they bigger/ diff style?
Calipers
Different seats would be nice but then I'd have to change the rear seats to match as well.. not enough $$ to do that haha..

Nah I got new KYB GR2s w/ Teins. They don't rub, just scrape a little when going over harsh speed bumps.

EDIT - but then again I usually ride with my buds (2 big mexican guys )

Intake for gas mileage.
Maybe try to convert the whole interior to black? Dying the cloth panels and getting black seats and carpet or Getting leather seats and leather panels.. Depends on your money situation.

Your lude sits clean man.

For the Intake.....
if you want to keep the stock look
remove the resonator box in the fender and use a k&n drop in replacement filter
might as well at least try it with your current filter and see if you like the sound before you buy an intake.

If you're up for a big project, try the jdm climate control

and search the picture thread for a front lip you like......the stock accord lip is subtle and cheap if you are trying to stay stockish

5th gen glass sunroof conversion?

windows don't look tinted.....even 35% helps

lots of stuff you can do
