In the bottom picture, is your hood starting to fade? If so I would get the hood. My OEM hood is faded to *** so I am looking for a Carbon hood.

Remove the Taco Bell cup from the top of the car before you take photos next time and stop caring about what other people think. Build your car for you. But apparently what makes you happy is making other people like your car.

I personally wouldn't do any of those things.

Since this thread is about looks, i would get rid of that cheap looking knock off and color mismatched excuse for a grill and find an oem one. The front lip would also look much better color matched......great places to start

Also, too much red will be tacky. Why do you have red speaker grills? Looks funny

And this.

Lose the speaker covers, paint match the front lip and get an OEM Si grill and paint match that as well. I would get window visors after that.

Paint match your car parts before you put them on



The interior looks really nice, that car has potential. It's unfortunate you're doing the exterior half-assed with knock off parts that aren't even paint matched.

Purchase just one authentic, or OEM Honda part. And please remove the Spoon sticker from the ebay c pillar bar. If your going to "fake the funk", at least do it on a part the company sells.

Looks like an Ebay parts catalog. Whatever you get make sure it follows that theme so you can keep the continuity going.

I mean you can afford what you can afford but don't try to pass any of it off as authentic.

Makes me wonder if those "Recaros" are fake too. Probably are.

I don't see any logo on them. They are probably Recaro "style".
