first off dont use the phrase "crunk as hell" its lame, second raise the front end cause its way to low. third unless you have an engine that needs the hood prop.. loose it. paint the bumper and get an EK4 front lip and your set!

If I could go back in time and change my mind on my first swap, I would have done an H22a instead of itr swap. More torque, which is hard enough to come by in a Honda. Depends on your buget though. You really gotta look down the line, because chances are you WILL NOT be satisfied with just a swap after a while. So you have to decide whether later on you are going to want boost, all motor, reliability, cheapness etc etc... if I was going to choose a set up and boost it, and it was my first low budget project, I'd go with an Ls with a built bottom end. Fairly inexpensive, AND if something breaks, really cheap to replace.
If I was about to start an NA build and had a bit of cash, Id go with another ITR swap, b16 head with itr internals, and alot of EXPENSIVE work. If I wanted something that was going to be fun, challenging and expensive (but pretty fast out of the bag) I'd go with a k swap.

Also, an LS-turbo can be done, and ready for ALOT of boost for the amount you pay for an ITR swap.

Fine. Topic at hand.

a.) you being black has nothing to do with the car. Just an observation, there's just no need for the announcement.

b.) The car looks terrible. Paint the bumper. the fit on the grill insert doesn't look to be very good. riding that low on 14's looks bad. Fix the hood. if there's no need for it to be lifted like that, it just looks like you've got a hood that fits like crap.

Honest opinion. Oh, and try posting in the appearance forums, you're looking for opinions, not tech info.

not bad. some of us have had worse. as far as the wheels lowered on those wheels they would look sick IMO if they were spaced out about an inch, EK's have huge fender flares. as far as the bumper, don't paint match it to the car, paint the car to match it, YES flat black FTW. oh and the hood ?? people still do that. hmmm.
