Sidemarkers are JDM. Put those on. You know, the amber/orange ones - genuine Honda Japan ones can be found on Ebay or from our registered vendors on the site. How about some lightweight rims like Spoon or Mugen (or Rotas if you can't afford the real deal). I don't consider CF hoods "JDM", but they may go well with blacked headlights.

Thats why i said most of us are "grown ups". Being most of us dont hate on the way that others "mod" their ride. But its all good man, DO ur thing and move on and as long as each and everyone of us is happy with our own ride, thats all that matters....

but anyways, black out the headlights, get folding mirrors, oem style body kit (ebay has some nice ones sometimes), orange or clear side markers, black or anthracite rims with polished lip would look nice, CF hood, maybe some eyelids and........add an extra 2 doors.
lol i couldn't resist.

You know, it's not hard, you could just do it yourself and save some bucks.

Rep Power: 344 You think you got it bad? My friend installed mine at his shop, and he broke his dremel on my fender....after about 20 minutes of heartbreaking metal grinding noises....well, I'm gonna stop whoring this thread now I think. Good luck man and do post pics when you're done. Don't let others get you down.
