Crappy paint job. Mess of wires in the back seat. Cheapo chrome wheels with no center caps. Roof mounted air filter. Yes, I would show it off wherever I went, and invite people from around the world to see it

your car needs alot of work in my eyes, but if it works for you, then that's all that matters.

Very few people here are sponsored by mommy and daddy. Their Wendys gigs and financial aid sponsor those Mugen wheels.


OP, your car is gaudy, Im being honest. Fix that rats nest of a job you call "sub wiring", swap out your wheels and it wont be as bad. Although your body kit isnt that bad, its pretty outdated. Id keep it if you like it.

I would suggest making a cover for those wires or tuck them somewhere. Other than that, the car needs help in a few areas, that can be fixed. Whether or not you go to meets and shows is completely up to you. Go for the experience and learn things from people and ask questions. Then build your car how YOU want it. If you like it like it sits then leave it that way.

HOWEVER, you did ask the forum about your car, expect their opinions.

Its called working for your things,try it sometime. Look around buddy, most people buillding their cars already have homes or live on their own. Time to grow up buddy. But my imput on your car is simple, get new wheels and cover your wires..does wonders.

Your Honda symbol is too small, you need bigger rims, that body kit needs to be a different color than the car, you need more wires in the back, annddd, you need a D-Series... then your set.

The fact is yes a lot of people are not sponsored by mommy and daddy, but they do live at home with really good jobs. Instead of getting a house and so on they would rather have a bad *** car. And for your car, maybe you should sell it and buy something else. That car is way gone and without any money there is no reason to mess with it. Concentrate on other things in life.
