i'm sorry but i've got to say it, the straight "JDM" look is the new rice.
anyway congrats, i remember when i got my prelude, i was so excited!!

yeah, forget the look and get some nice motor toys. IMO: the interior is for the driver and the exterior is for everyone else. i can honestly say that i would drive a pinto if the interior looked like that of the higher end cars like the lambo's.
Lookin good.
If you ever decide you dont need that center console.....i could use one.
I have the one that goes all the way into the back to the trunk, and am in need of a different one.(or if you know anyone else).
I dont know about JDM being the new rice though....
plus too many people overlook it and try to label every car that looks nice as rice.
Just as long as you don't get a huge wing, and a gigantic muffler. you should be ok.

Too true. As soon as something because more popular than desired by people that stray away from the norm, it becomes rice. Just like music, you can't escape it. JDM looks good, keep it clean and it'll look great. Besides, who cares what everybody else thinks. It's your car, do what makes you happy.
Looks good BTW.
