Default Do u consider this Idea Sleeper car or not

I have a 97 Coupe EX and I was wondering does anyone consider this sleeper....getting the mugen front lip....and type R rear lip or leave the rear stock....and also leave the sides stock..with the 96-00 OEM LED spoiler lowered about 1.75" with eagle performance rims..maybe 17's and the 99-00 Si tail lights.

Interior I'd get the GSR panel gauges or SI gauges... because Im going all power..and doing a GSR motor swap soo thats why im not sure on the gauges...and for my turbo gauges i'd go with the Auto Meter in Dash gauges.

oh yeah forgot to mention im repainting my Civic Z28 Navy Blue Matallic or either leavin the stock color...

IMO, a sleeper is a car that looks completely stock from the exterior, including the stock height and stock exhaust, but is a lot faster than what is perceived from the outside.

For example, a buddy of mine had a 95 Civix Sedan DX with a B18C1 swap, GSR tranny, and a 80 shot of nitrous - the car was completely stock from the outside and he was able to pull numerous 13 second passes. I guess that's why Sport Compact Car did an article on his car back in '98 and titled it "Sleeper."

This is a sleeper. This is an H22 powered Accord. Pretty quick, and looks stock, all the way down to the Racing Hart DTM's, which look like stock hubcaps.

I think a sleeper can be lowered and have tint. But no body accesories, wings, big wheels, etc. Just my opinion........

Not a sleeper. Sleeper needs no body mods and stock paint.
