Default Who Says 4 Door Cars Are Just A Family Car?

So I have been hearing a lot of trash talk from people that I know or see, and they all tell me the same thing about my car, "It's a 'famliy car' ".

I own a 91 Acura Integra GS, and you can already guess the fact that its a 4 Door. Well I want to know what the members of HT think.

Please leave comments and if you have any suggestions please let me know.

Car: 1991 Acura Integra GS Sedan
Color: White
Engine: B18b1
Performance Parts: High Flow Filter, NeuSpeed Front Sway Bar, Lowered on No Name coilovers, No Name Short Shifter
Cosmetic Changes: License Plate Relocation, Black hood, JDM Steering Wheel, Spoon Sports Shift ****, Primer Black Stock Rims, Blue Lug Nuts, Blue Wiper Blades
Upcoming Changes: Full Panda Design! (SOON!)

THE CAR

This is how I bought it:







This is when I just did the relocation:





And this is where I am at now:

I think it has potential, and 4 doors are dope imo. Loose that steering wheel cover, and questionable wiper blades and you will be on a good start

Yeah you should have left the hood and wheels the stock colors. Id either polish the wheels or get some other ones. If you dont have the money to buy stuff, dont resort to painting ****, it looks really tacky. No offense just trying to give constructive criticism. Just find some nice wheels, suspension and paint and it will make it a new car.

Me too! It kind of went downhill.

Go back to stock wipers, pick up a decent set of wheels, and you'll be on the right track, at least in terms of exterior visuals.

Your thread topic says it's not a family car...but honestly, those rims just scream family car to me. Find something a little sportier and leave behind the grandma rims.

Looks like you've taken two steps in the wrong direction.

not a bad start, i'd get rid of the wipers FAST though, grab some black wipers and it'll look alot cleaner... not feeling the ghetto painted hood either, you should've kept it white it would've been alot cleaner.. keep showing that DB love and get some one pieces next!

yeah i would take my time in building your db1. believe me i did. i would post pics of my before and after for you but i dont want to jack your thread.

to be honest i wouldve left it the way you bought it. white db1s are nice. for some reason panda style 4drs dont look right at all.

but good luck on your build. remember simple is always cleaner.

Just in case you didn't know.. using tuner lugnuts on an oem wheel is a NO NO well unless those are oem type lugnuts. If those are in fact tuner lugs, I say ditch them and go back to the ball seat type of lugnuts...
