update on my ride [56k mmmm another day]

hey what up everyone?! well i've got a little update on my ride.. im makin it cleaner, still not the way i want it , since i have silver top grill and i want a black top grill something that in my opinion would look cleaner, also i am lookin to blackout my headlights (DIY) and get a front lip,side skirt, and a rear lip.. and some nice black rims with a chrome lip and then lower it... well here is how it is for now...enjoy

before:




and here it is now:
from the front:








now from the side:

inside: ( yes its a stick )

from the back:




some engine shots: ( as u can see nothing is done to it besides the shortram intake )



well there it is hopefully u enjoyed it.. but as i was sayin its still not the way i want it to be.. still more work to be done much more hehe to bring it to a total clean looook... all comments/suggestions are welcome.. and im sorry if the shots are crappy i was using my friends camera enjoy!!!!!11

^^ Also consider shaving the "civic" emblem if you shave the "SI".. I'm in Canada too and I was considering changing my "SI" emblem to an "EX", since our cars in the states are EX's!

IMO, No! If you want a darker hood buy carbon fiber.

Check out the hood pins.....that hood IS carbon fiber!!
Don't try to make it look like you have somthing that you dont (I believe that is the definition of RICE). IMO either save the $$ that you would pay to paint it & buy CF or stay stock.
