Overgeneralized statement imo. Many people don't like body kits, since they make so many ugly *** ones and there's enough stupid people out there to buy them.

If tastefully done they can look nice.

i think even a 6th gen or 7th will do but NOT an 8th gen. its too round...
also i dont even know what the difference are in those models but just extra features like cd players and a/c??

Re: first car...

You can do a ton of things if you make sure it's tastefully done. Most people aren't into altezza (especially chrome ones) anymore and will probably get the term "rice" thrown at you. You can black out the OEM headlights and tails, put brighter bulbs in the headlights. Get a nice looking body kit or lip kit. Throw a nice clean system in it. Get some tint if it's legal where you are. A nice set of rims, etc etc... just a few ideas

and check honda's website for all the specs and features. learn to love to read up on things and you'll know a lot more in no time.

Re: first car...

like noted before: the honda website has that information for you. It also depends on what year you are looking for. I guess its just a pretty broad question to be answered.

Re: first car...

please don't put a huge body kit on your car. you'll get made fun of and you'll want it off in about 3 months, then you'll have wasted money on paint and your kit.

at the same time, don't let people on here tell you what to do with your car. make it your own, but look around A LOT first. there's a lot of good information on here, as well as a lot of misinformation. either way, good luck with everything!

Re: first car...

beadebaserr Make up your mind.

You tell him not to do the body kit then you tell him to do whatever he wants. You make no sense.

Common: I will not flame you for now. But I have the FLAME THROWER READY. You better get your flame retarded suit. You may need it.

If you do get a vic and you go with a clean theam then cool. If not and you go wild and crazy then well FLAME ON PAL.....

yeah, I miss my 7thgen sedan actually. I have a coupe now, but the 7thgen coupes still just look weird to me. it's like the car is way too long after the doors or something.
