Icon5 99 VSM EK COUPE! Opinions?

I have a 1999 Honda Civic EJ8 (VSM)
Good or bad let me know what you think!?
I'm doing a F/I b18c 2.0l+ Block w GSR head build.
The build is under wraps and still in progress. I will post a new thread on that when the beast is ready to be unveiled. For now, it's just the appearance of the car! I'm looking for constructive criticism on suggestions, i want to be different so I'm going with a kanjo / stance / race ready / daily driver. I like rare parts, stance, and the track style look, so anything is appreciated. Also budget is pretty much not an issue, as this build will continue on all year. So, without further a due:

It looks sharp, but if what I quoted is your intent... your wheels and tires need to go.

I wouldn't touch the outside, apart from adjusting the body panels and making things line up a bit better. Maybe respray the lip and get OEM headlights. Outside looks fine to me, would spend my time on a swap. Thats my opinion doe.

I agree. The exterior looks great. Doing bother with aggressive fitment, unless that's really what you want to do.

Well, if you're adhering to Kanjo style... you'll want a Japanese wheel, not a knock-off. And for rubber, you'll want something closer to an R-Compound or at least an extreme performance Summer tire. But, like I said, the car looks sharp.

Stay away from anything "stance" related. That whole scene is just ridiculous. Keep your car functional, keep your goals realistic, and be patient. The best builds are never done over night.

Pretty clean, I thought those wheels would look good on that chassis, but not really feeling them. Nice setup though.
