Re: all mods. ideas

My opinion, don't do any performance modifications. That's just a waste of money unless you drop a K series in it, even then, it's a lot of money to do that.

I would remove the hood pins
remove pinstripe
remove the dealer sticker on the trunk
possibly a lip kit

other than that, the outside looks fine.

As for the inside I would probably do some rsx leather seats

K&N 69 Typhoon Series Short Ram or Cold Air Intake
Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs
KONI Sport Yellow Shocks
Magnaflow Exhaust System
Body Kit

In that order. Throw on some bigger rims and some sportier tires and your official ricerocket/beener mobile is complete!

I disagree, I would rather have little holes than cheap Autozone hood pins

plus the holes can be fixed

Re: all mods. ideas

I'd lose the spoiler, and get a roof rack.

Also, what size rims, what size tires, and how much is it lowered?

Re: all mods. ideas

The latch itself is on the radiator support, just the pin on the hood.
