This is the wrong spot for this. This is the "technical" section please post this kind of stuff in the cosmetics/appearance section...

As for my opinion the car looks kind of ricey. The painted interior panels look cheap, and your rims look "blingy" as opposed to sporty... I like the front bumper and headlights though.

change the red interior pieces back to stock, put those recaros in, and like "honda dave" said change the headlights to jdm or stock and get some stock tail lights, get the oem ex/si lip and change the rims. if you cant afford brand name ones at least get some clean looking rotas or stock rims


and if you can really get your hands on a set of those cdm rear seats that would be sick!

Yes because the only thing that matters is the name on them.

I prefer the more stock look. Clean up the interior. Even if you got the red/clear taillights you posted above, they'd be much better. Get a stock lip, or even a knock-off of something better (spoon, mugen, bys). Ditch the one piece headlights, get something with a cleaner look, retrofit some hid's? The possibilities are pretty much endless. But in the end, as long as you're happy with it, who cares?

lmao at this ^^^

just clean your car up I mean maybe you bought it with the red interior, just strip the paint off and your interior will look better, and some new rims/suspension will make the car look a lot more better, just get what you think looks good.

Kinda reminds me of the mid to late 90's. I remember painting my interior pieces white, and then regretting it like hell a few months later. The only thing I really don't like about it is the rims. Other than that, it's ok.
