I think either you or your car really loves leaves. But on to the question, my first mods would be a drop and some new wheels. But it sounds like a great car. Good luck with it.

Yeah man the whole leaves atmosphere is kind of odd, but whateva floats your boat. But going back to the question, it seems like a stong car. If I were you I would just do some exterior mods to clean it up. Like:
rims
maybe a lip
paint job

you know the common stuff.

those are some really awesome leaves...can we see some pics of the car please

jk dude, very nice - drop it a little bit more to get rid of that wheel gap, throw a front lip on her and just take care of her - oh and most importantly...SECURITY!!(imagine dave chapelle as rick james saying that)

good luck dude

why there is nothing wrong with having cosmetic work done to the car if he is happy with the way it is - even if he does plan on making it faster, what does it matter?? my old ej8 was stock except for SRI, wheels and thats it...and all i had planned for it was suspension, WS2, SI front lip and a carbon fiber hood.

even if i put a GSR motor in my car, its still not an ariel atom...so that means a car shouldnt have carbon fiber??

well...since you got the ls motor in there and a few bolt-ons.....i would go for the suspension next.....sway bars...maybe a coilover kit....
and definetly do a integra brake conversion...

oh but before anything else....security!
im not saying install a alarm and call it a day....
alarms are only for noise....you need kill switches.....autolock....quick release for your steering wheel.....and a indoor gararge would be nice.

nice lookin car man. mostly cause I'm working on a white eg sedan right now so i'm partial. if i were you, and you want it too look nice, just do somethings here and there. throw on some cool mirrors, get you a lip kit if you don't want to lower it. go for the mugen style, it's simple and strong lookin without goin all out and having a ricer look. maybe a rear too. I'm a little partial to the mugen stye. throw some side skirts on too and you'll get the look of being lowered without having to do so. Get some new rims, maybe throw some new headlights in it. All in all though, it already looks pretty clean man. nice car.

Yours looks way better the white '93 I just picked up! Carbon fiber can attract thieves... I'd go with the things related to go over show myself but to each his own.

I'll trade my clean title 95 si hb for a white hb anyway. What can i say, im a sucker for white hatches . Good platform to work with man!!!! Im jealous. Here i would do if it was my car.

Lower it a bit more with some decent suspension
Paint the vent and grill on the bumper black with a si/ex front lip
axis oldschool wheel gold
skunk2 lca with asr subframe and a beaks bar to bring out the wheels.

And boost the LS

If only i had a white hatch
