I'd say get rid of the hideous tailights, lower it a little bit more, possibly getting smaller / better looking wheels, and it would look good. Right now it just looks kinda thrown together with not much matching or anything.

I agree with mattyz. how many miles? that engine bay needs some cleaning also. I suggest you get a good alarm w/backup battery for it along with some kill switches.

mileage is a little high, 179,xxx. the internals of the motor are clean as hell tho i have already checked them out. ya i know the engine bay need some love i've just been lazy lol. thats a good idea i already have a clifford alarm but i could get some kill switches. i know how people love to steal these em1's

im not sure it was like that when i bought it. when i got there to buy it i had to make sure it wasn't an ex conversion, i left it on because it hides some oxidation on the trunk. when i get it repainted i won't have a spoiler anymore

^^this is pretty much my plan for it, note that i bought the car like this. i would never have bought the ricer lights. and i got a killer deal on it. i picked it up for 5300 and it is my PROJECT and my dd. em1's are really hard to find in northern nevada espically with a clean title so im just happy i found it. and thanks all who put in your 2 cents so far. it sounds like the way i wanted to go with it is the way everyone is sugesting. i do like the rims tho even tho they are 17's. if i do replace the rims i want to find some clean si's i wouldnt want to go aftermarket again

The only thing I like about your car is that it is an EM1. Before clicking on the thread title, I really hoped I would be thanking you for sharing and posting up your car, but I feel the exact opposite. It sounds like you are making some moves in the right direction though...
