I would paint the carbon fiber hood silver first. It would look better IMO, and would not be obvious at the track. I like the car though. Very clean. I also think the side markers would look a little gawdy. But, thats my opinion.

im getting ******* tired of people saying to paint my hood. you want me to paint my wheels silver while im at to?

and yes JDM front would be nice, maybe later if im ever in an accident where everything needs to be replaced. i was just thinking of a small/inexspensive cosmetic add-on i could do.

If you don't want other people's opinions, don't ask for them. My OPINION is that carbon fiber hoods look better painted the same as the rest of the car. If left black, it says, OOH loook my hood is light and makes my car fast. If you paint it no one knows............. Kind of like playing poker or pool.

Anyway I actually like the gunmetal/titainium color on those rims. They look good.

Put a DOHC Vtec sticker on it -- then it will be reallllllly fast.

i think that would make your car look 20x better, not bad so far though, i think the cf hood does look kinda funny, but with the jdm front end it would look sick

Try and find the front lip first...That would look pretty nice. I know when I had my Teg, my first two concerns were removing that odd spoiler in the back, and locating the OEM front lip. Sidemarkers would look nice, but only after other things were done first.

Comptech lip as far as I know is for the 94-97. OEM Acura is the only way to go for the 98+ body style.

oh yea why dont you take your brand new OEM lip and shove it

J/K, what matters is I like it. its like having a really fat GF. you know everyone else thinks shes fat and ugly, but you still love her.

-Aaron, who does not have a fat GF, wait i dont have a GF at all

Only problem is that you have to drill a damn hole through your fenders.

Don't plan on taking them off if you don't like 'em.

I say spend your money elsewhere....
