The sleeper look that im going for....

heres what i got so far... i got an exhaust... so it wont sound like a sleeper... but im gonna get some oem lip skirts for my sedan as well as a stock coupe grill.. .cause my sedan grill looks like crap... as well as the colored strip above the grill to replace my chrome one... so when ppl look in their rear view mirrors... they think a coupe is coming up fast... or making a lot of noise... but when i pass... if i ever do.. they will see a sedan....

what do u think? and where can i get this stuff... i know that hondawerx has got the strips for $19 shipped and the skirts for $717... but my hood... its kinda dented... so im gonna have to replace it...

Wait, aren't sleepers supposed to be fast cars?

Yup, fast cars with little or no vissible mods.

It sounds like he wants a reverse sleeper. He wants people seeing it in the rearview to think it's fast, until he passes them and they realize it's a slow, heavy sedan.

I agree though, I think the little touches on the front end of the coupe look better than the sedan.

you think anyone besides the people on this site and honda employees know that the chrome strip on the hood is only on sedan and the body colored one is on the coupe??

and if youre not even sure if you can pass them, you dont have a sleeper!! lol

don't get the oem skirts, get xenon or something a little more aggressive. i don't know about the grill, i think the coupe ones look better imo. - so go for it, but you'll probaly get flamed.

true, hondas are good for looks, and to to big on speed unless you do alot of mods. 115 hp dam, thats slower than a focus. i think im the only one i know that has a 2k1 with more than 125 hp stock
