I have only had this car for about 2 months and already have an AEM Short ram intake.
My wheels and toyo proxes 215/45/17's needless to say i am broke!!

I would eventually like to turbo it. Just cant afford it now.

Let me know what you guys and girls think. imp:

take out the chrome on the hood and black out your lights imo.

lose the vtec sticker, drop it 2", tint, and either blackout or clear the lights.

The tire shop recomended that I only drop it a max of 1 1/2" or i could rub.
Does that sound right??
Also, how exactly do you black out the lights?
Can you tell I'm new??

yea, since you have 215/45/17 which is a thicker tire, I dont think you can go more than 1.5" without rubbing. Anyway, if you wanna blackout your headlights, you have to take them off, open up the housing, and paint'em. Theres a DIY on clearing headlights, its basically the same thing, except you take an extra step in painting them. But ya, black out your headlights, get some tints, and drop it.

green doesnt look good with anything. just leave it stock....lol...

EDIT: here's my car. i dont have any special wheels, so you dont really need a side shot. it's the same thing as yours, so i dont see why i should bother with it. oh yeah, it's a green sedan.

I never really thought it looked small but after looking at everybody elses rides on here i even think it looks small.

It must be the picture or camera or something, cause its even a sedan.

Thanks for everyones help.

what i would do next is drop, then simpler things like, trunk/hood trim, rs grill, headlights, etc

since your broke. i would say the next best thing to do is the DIY headlights. you can black them out in any style u want or clear them.

heres the link for step-by-step process.

theirs plently of other DIY, which can save you lots n lots of $ =D


a drop would look even better. but be careful on what u buy for suspension

drop it and it will look soo hot

 
Rep Power: 0

i dunno about all that dropin. it cant be good for suspension. what happens in 10 years? know one knows. then you have to buy camber kits and shocks. possibly new tires if it is not aligned good.

 
Rep Power: 0

Yeah, Im not sure... I'm not too hot on having to buy new shocks just to be able to lower my car!

Because we all know if i dont that my oem shocks will **** out in no time!

I guess we will just see how much money i can come up with... but that always seems to be a problem.

 
Rep Power: 434

oh! get rid of mud guards. those things are hideous...

you will be bling blingin once u get an APC sticker and Powered by Honda Seatbelt cushions!

What the hell are you talking about???

 
Rep Power: 310

get color matched hood and trunk moldings, lower the ride height, get the RS lip kit, clear ur headlights, then pay ur credit card bill. lol

 
Rep Power: 310

Best next thing to do would be to sell the car before putting any more money in it and realizing its a big waste

 
Rep Power: 0

What do you mean its a waste??

 
Rep Power: 303

i agree with everyone who says lower it......look good then

 
Rep Power: 306

IMO Dont do anything, and just save up for the Turbo

 
Rep Power: 0

^^^^^ True

i currently have 215/45/17 and it does not rub with an aggressive drop. I had the progress drop. THe rear was tucked. It wont rub as long as you keep the negative camber.
