Default I Know This Will Be A Flame Fest....But It'll Be Interesting

Ok soooooo I've been flamed 110x10 times for my car...but I figured I'd update the people who didn't have too much of a problem with it. First below are how it used to look and by that I mean the stickers on the windows and the altezzas and the neon underglows ETC:











And here's what it has become as of today....finsihed removing the window stickers and the neon underglows are being ripped off when the turbo goes on in two weeks...and yes I know, needs a drop but I don't think I'd do that, not with the roads around here, however a lip is not out of the question....flame away!

EDIT***Painted calipers black and removed AEM Sticker. The only ones I won't remove are the shocker stickers/magnaflow exhaust sticker and I <3 My Honda sticker...I like those.

Yea instead of going with the stock red/clear I liked the red/amber a lot better. The damn thing is it's almost near stock now for christs sake...kinda bothers me...but the turbo will change that...and a lip. I'll never drop it though.

those terrible green drums have to go.
why never drop it, unless you live on the side of a mountain, i dont see why not. even a subtle drop like an inch, inch and a half, will give it a nice lookign stance, because any wheels other then oem, look bad on a stock height car imo

why arnt you going to lower it? i live in WV where it is hills, pot holes 4 inchs deep, and what not. i dropped my crx 4 inchs and never had a problem. im going to drop my EK so my tire tucks soon. you just need to know where to drive adn where not to drive.

dropping your car will make it look 100 times better. best mod you can do for looks IMO

My EK is lowered about 2.5 inches and I don't even come close to scraping anywhere.

Seriously, get an Eibach Pro Kit or Tein S Techs or something for a small drop, no offense but that thing is high as ****, and you will get tired of it.

hey man i live in the mountains myself, horrible roads, some of them are still dirt roads!!

i put some eibach sportlines and kyb agxs on mine and it made the stance alot nicer, but i can still go anywhere i want without the fear of scraping.

its just a thought.

but the car is looking better, best thing you did was get rid of the altezzas!

As far as why I changed so much...because honestly when I bought the car...yea I thought it looked good, then I did join Honda-Tech...then I did start to look at my car in a different light....am I going to do EVERYTHING that I'm told...no or it would have been lowered already But either way...I saw what a lot of people were talking about...the nasty graphics...the huge wing...ETC and it's true...the car does look a lot cleaner without those things....oh and for the record: The green drums are going, they're ending up like the window stickers on the side..they're getting all chipped and ****. Another thing that was on the car when I purchased it. They will be just a flat black..not for looks but just to get that green **** off of there. I want my car to be as dark as it can be.
