Default Right direction?

I believe I am taking my car in the right direction as far as mods are concerned. I have a lot to learn and far more upgrades needed. However, I believe I am on the right path or at least as close as they come. Now here are some before and after pics.

Please keep in mind that I am still working on the car and things are always subject to change.

Yes I know. I can't be "different" with a Honda, but I am enjoying having something to wrench on during my time off.

Exterior:
*Before


*After (I regret the lip decision...good excuse to go genuine BYS or SiR in the future)


Interior:
*Before


*After The yellow is a Handle used in a UH-60 Blackhawk gunner's window. If we have some parts deemed "bad" I usually scoop them up.


Engine:
*Before


*After (still working on it this weekend)

For now I do. Came with the car so I am running them until I can buy some CTR lights or factory ones. I then will go with either factory bulbs or something a little brighter but not HID's.

I would work on getting a proper intake, and remove the stickers. Other than that the car looks clean/nice.

i'd still leave the a/c in but yeah looks awesome, wheels on it before looked like such bullsh#$

i absolutely HATE this "hellaflush" - "my car only looks good at ONE angle on each side, but looks and drives like total sh#$ in all other aspects" crap that everyone is doing just for internet popularity

Default Re: Right direction?

I have an Injen SRI that is not pictured. I have some more work I need to do and left it off.

I dont really care to have AC on the car. Its not my daily driver so I dont think I will take the time to install it. I dont drive the car enough to really need it anyway. She sits in the garage for the most part. I am always buying parts or fixing an issue of sorts.

The decals dont really bother me all to much. They arent hard to remove if I choose that I dont want them, thus they aren't a priority. I believe a few more engine mods and it will be time to work on the suspension. I will be workring on a separate block on the side.
