Not a bad start but it definitely needs some work.
I would start by getting rid of the front lip and the awful looking grill. Replace it with a nice OEM Si unit!

I like your intake, I always wanted that one when I had my Y7.

lol just giving my opinion. But yes i would must definately go with the OEM 99-00 Si front clip
Possibly go with CTR headlights and some OEM Stanley Fog Lights

NO REPLICA PARTS!!! Oem gets way more attention. I learned the hard way lol

I would go with the CTR rear control arms with sway bar also.
Just my personal opinion and preferance

whats a OP first off..and where did u get ctr headlights for 50

that grill is supposed to be the si replica i need to get it painted..and i hate my intake its the worst design honda ever made. they were probably high when they thought of the idea to make the intake mani point straight up like a carb...i'm def gonna swap that manifold

and all these ctr parts are too hard to find and expensive..when i could just get quality skunk2 products..i havent had a problem with my lower control arms yet but i will eventually swap them out with a better product

OP - Original Poster (aka. the person who started the thread)

My only advice would be to get some new paint for the new parts. Then, as you go along, you'll find exactly what you want from the car.
