Hmm not really. Long way to go if he wants to rice his car out. To be make it simple and nice won't take that long. Just get a really good coilover (ex. PIC), some wheels, and a lip! Then go from there what you wanna do.

Si bumper? You mean a '99-'00 front bumper? Good luck fitting it with your headlights, fenders, and hood.

Nice swap.

Yea unfortunately youll need the whole front end for the SI front. Paint looks a little flat, but then again most older gen red hondas paintjobs don't stay red too long.

Actually yes really. He wants the 99-00 front end, so that means he will have to get new bumper, lights, fenders and hood. Every old Honda red paint fades away. So that will need to be taken care off. The pin stripe has go to go. A drop is a must. The exhaust is the fugly, so are the mirrors. Like I said, it's gotta long way to go but if the dude got money and can make it happen over night then more for him.

Nice car, just to improve the look take off the rear wing .....looks to...passive lol.....get a SI wing will look better. Other than that, just slamn her the wheels are fine. You'll get the idea by seeing some dope MR coupes here.

I've heard that you can use a hair dryer or heat gun (don't set too hot) and it will peel right off. I've never tried it tho so it might be easier said than done. It looks like you have a nice canvas to start with, just go in the direction that you want. Keep it clean and you'll get some respect.
