lol yea, the giant mugen sticker seems a bit overkill, but that aside, its a clean car.
Not to bust on your post, but this sort of thing belongs in appearance/cosmetics for future reference.

My suggestions:
- Get some OEM front license plate caps from Honda (they'll have them in your car's color or can order them - color code in the driver's door jamb).

- The rear looks kind of naked. I think it'd match the front more if something were black like the hood and lip appear (is the lip just unpainted?). A rear plate garnish in black or carbon fiber might set it off nicely. I'd steer clear of carbon fiber trunks just because of the tendency to rattle.

- And if you go with a black plate garnish, you could get thin moldings and leave them unpainted...

I really think there should be something to focus on for the rear though.

that car was built in OHIO.. so being JDM.. not so much.. but the knock off wheels and the knock off banner sure do give it some added flare!!

JDM can refer to a style too, not just having real JDM parts.

Of course very very few of the cars on this site are truly JDM (built FOR the Japanese market).

i think it looks pretty good. i cant stand drag or rota though. i would look into gettin the 98-00 tail lights and i would try to find a set of blacked out headlights. those shiny a** headlights are killing ur front end. but overall i like it.

He could say,

"My USDM mixed with JDM ej8"

That's what I call my cars. Still clean.

You're thinking of '99-'00 coupes taillights, not '98.

I actually like the USDM headlights more.
