same thing i was thinking... just cause he didnt like the way he looked he said it was rice, the hood is kinda ricey but thats it, lip doesnt look bad, stop trying to be cool like everyone else and try to "JDM" everything out!

not trying to look "cool" as you so elegantly put it, i just like very clean and simple items on cars. i don't need all the flashy materials. i just need it to look sweet, go fast and get me from a to b plus the overly excessive long cruises i will be taking in it........nothing beats wide open backroads

Rims are kind of big but not too bad looking. and the hood is blah. But otherwise its not to bad. You have my permission to leave it be. just change the hood.

That's a pretty good price for the Type-S whether stock or not, right?
You can still sell off most of the parts to go towards what you want to upgrade to anyway.
