Default Cleaned the hatch, put on some wheels, and put on a Si lip

I got out yesterday and gave the hatch a good cleaning and buffed it. I also installed the front Si lip. These are the first pictures id taken since i put the rotas on.. so here goes.. open to comments

I think the paint looks pretty damn good for it to be stock 13 yr old paint.. car has never been wrecked or re-painted.

it looks like a DX model perhaps which don't have a stock tach, though Si clusters are pretty cheap

nice car BTW

That is correct, it is a DX model. it didnt come with a tach, but since the stock tachs are known for being way off i opted for a aftermarket tach

So what if he bought a tach? It's actually a functional mod unlike half the **** people are doing nowadays I.E. "Yo check out my JDM red carpet yo" . I can't believe people actually flame a guy for a tach. It's a DX, it has no tach from the factory. To use the argument that you can get a factory cluster for cheap is stupid b/c as he stated the stock tachs are off by as much as 400RPM (I know from experience) and aren't always a "cheap" option as all the Honda fanboys keep driving the prices up. Anyway the paint and car looks good. Keep it up

i really appreciate all the comments. i havent really had anyone comment on the car until i put the wheels on and then i guess it came to life. with just ground control coil-overs and the wheels/tires the car handles like a go kart.. but thanks for the comments guys its really encouraging. ill have pics posted in a week or two once i get my turbo set up installed!
