Smile 2005 black VP (56k, sorry)

Whats up guys. Just registered here on the forum after reading it for a couple weeks and following up on it. Been a big Honda fan since i can remember and just recently bought my first vic. Im trying to learn everything about our EM's. Heres a little intro until i can go shoot some new pics Monday of the vic. Constructive Criticism would be great.. Let me know your guys' opinions and what you guys think i should do with the VP.
17's
lowering springs
Skunk 2 camber kit
205/40ZR17 ling longs
AEM CAI
APR Header
BOMZ muffer w/ 2.5" piping (actually sounds nice)
Vertical Doors INC.
Other misc. things
be easy

pretty nice. I love the tint, dont like the rims though but hey i dont really like a whole lot either (konig trouble in graphite color on my magnesium metallic sedan) Main reason i dont like mine is because they are on the heavy side and i should have just got light weight 17"s

Lambo Doors = RICE
Big *** second tach = Rice
Big stickers across front and rear glass= RICE
Other than all the rice you got a good car.

Thanks for the comments guys. If been debating on the lambo's for quite sometime and the truth is, the are a PITA. Your friends can shut them, they are impossible when drunk and they are just a nuisance, they are coming off. The wheels I really like cause they stand out. The windshield banners are coming off ASAP for something a bit more tasteful. and the Tach.. well the VP didn't come with a stock tachometer so I'm going to keep it for now. Keep the comments coming. Thanks again.

How about a smaller tach? Get the Frog eye gauge bezel and put in a small tach with another gauge, like a volt meter or A/F. That would look a lot better.

I just got my Frog eye from another member on this site. It only cost me 18 shipped. It holds the 52mm gauges.

The tach in it now came with the car. Does anyone know where i could find the frog eye bezel? What kind of gauges should i get? My cousins use Autometer but I've heard good things about Stewart Warner.

looks nice. yeah, i agree, get a smaller tach. i like the wheels. i'm not a fan of black wheels which seem so popular. lets see a pic of the doors.
