Default Suggestions for my car

I posted a few pics of my car a couple months ago, and there were some people who really didn't like it. I was just wondering if anyone had suggestions that would make my car a little better. Thanks.

Your initial question to how your car looks and if its 'better' can be answered by one simple question, do you like it?

[freak] the haters man.. do it for YOU not because HT said so..

BTW I think your whip looks for clean, a nice moderate drop would compliment it well too.

I did drop it a little. Not as much as I thought though. I'm just worried about negative camber on a daily.

i think the biggest hangup with the car is the wheel size coupled with the lack of a bodykit/lipkit. They are too big, 15's would look 100x better. But overall clean car

wheels are a bit big..those look like 17's?

you should get some 16's or 15's and it should look pretty nice.

Clean car overall.

Like mentioned before. make the car how you want, dont listen to haters. its YOUR car. everyone has there own taste.

also maybe paint the door handles and side moldings white. unless you are goin for a two-tone look.

Truth. Dump it and have the toe set to 0 all the way around.

Im riding like that right now and tire wear is very low for the ammount of miles I drive.

Even so, I'm dropped 2.5 inches and it looks good, The fender barely sits above the tire and I've never had problems with excessive camber wear.

Color match the door handles, side moldings, and tape up the chrome outlays of the windows.. maybe a front lip. Just some suggestions.

Like everyone Id imagine would be saying, sounds like your just looking to make people on h-t happy. If you enjoy your car then its amazing, simple as that.

I can throw out some pointers without telling you an exact way to go...

Some people like DUMPED rides, some people like aggresive stances.
You can add a front lip, you could add a rear one too. you could color match everything to the white. Ummm, you could buy amber corners, smoke corners, or leave the stock look. color matched mirrors, carbon fiber mirrors, spoon mirrors... I cant see the back but you can look into the tail lights. Ummmm, you could do something about the antenna, people like bumper poles, the whole jdm look, fogs lights can go front rear and both, window visors, lug nuts, exhaust.

Hows that for naming random **** you can play with without telling you what to do?

Also you gots the interier to play with too.

Wanna know what I would do? I would start by getting new rims. Maybe add some color to that white, white will match anything for pick your favorite color, mines orange. So Id maybe get some spunk rims, maybe konig or rota, save money, then paint em orange. id then drop her LOW, at least 2.5". Id color match the handles, side markers, and sideskirt, get a nice lip and color match, id do mugen, spoon mirrors id color match, some visors, antenna delete, the jdm headlights, fog lights match amber, maybe a rear fog... but thats just me, like I said do your own thing. That first list I gave you would let you play with your car a lot and youd not get flamed by most people here like I guess you did when you first posted months ago.

About the rim issue. I have a set of HX rims that I'm painting red now. I have one done already.

Can someone help me with good ideas for a sick dumped suspension setup? And I always thought that negative camber wore out tires like a ****..

Ground Control sleeves, Koni Yellow shocks, and Ground Control extended top hats.

As previously stated, it's not camber that wears out tires, it's toe.
