welcome. my recommendations to make the EG "H-T approved" are:
Check on some rota slips or possibly some LS meshies, nothing over a 16" for yours
Swap your EVO CF hood for an OEM CF
Get a legit set of black housing headlamps and some amber corners
Some amber fogs
Strip your Si lip back to black
Crinkle coat your valve cover (I've always been partial to B18C red)

It's all clean, but those mods would make a big difference. Love the swap.

Not a bad start. You should sell those rims and get something lighter and more rigid that also looks nice. Rota is a company that sells "knockoff" rims, basically theyre cheap but very durable and strong and have most famous wheel styles. Go to their site and see what they have, they have some nice ones. Look for some used ones on craigslist.

The headlights are fine, black housing are cleaner but the ones you have are fine IMO. Definately strip the lip back to black and get and OEM grill, and youll be all set for the exterior. Its your car, you can do whatever you want, we just want to head you in the right direction, remember, clean and functional. Nothing too aggressive or useless.

As for the engine bay, the motor looks good, just clean the engine bay and remove all the grease there and dirt. Try and clean the motor if you can, it can really shine
Might want to get some bolts for the plastic piece next to the hood latch, some bolts are missing. Good luck

I completely agree, but when I joined with my EG coupe, that's the greeting I got, and trust me, it wasn't anywhere near as gentle. Since then I know why they said it, but at the time I thought it was shady too. Just trying to give him some ideas to throw around.

I like the coupe man, hope you didn't take it the wrong way.

Thanks for all the advise guys and no worries, I know that people are just suggesting things and not trying to hate. Hell if your trying to hate go for it, I don't get offended from internet talk, people always talk trash when they know you can't punch them in the face for doing so. anywho..... next step for me is get a tint and im going to pull all the interior plastic out and paint it black. If any of you know a good DIY link for that, hit me up.

if your trying to paint your interior instead of swapping it out, use SEM Landau Black for a stock look. i haven't seen autozone or stores like tha carry it, but my local car paintstore carrys it. my dash, door panels, and center console hold up fine, but the little door panels or whatever for the rear seats get scratched easy from the seat belts.. that and my door sills i swapped from an oem black interior coupe, so they don't scratch.

if you use it make sure you paint when the weather it warm. it sticks better.

took only about 3 cans for the plastic inerior panels. cans are about 7-8 dollars.
