Here she is. . . put on the rest of the body kit last week, and yesterday and the day before installed the Injen CIA and the DC TCS exhaust. (Can't see those in the pics)

I'm really liking the way the exterior turned-out. I'm still debating on whether or not to add a spoiler or tasteful wing. . but I'm thinking no.

Thanks! Got the Enkei's at Discount Tire, along with the Paradas. I love the wheels and tires. . . although the wheels do need care as they WILL show brake dust and road grime. (They're very open front to back) However, I'm sure they're doing a GREAT job of cooling the brakes! And when you're doing about 15-20 MPH. . . they look SUH-WEEET!! Then, on the freeway, the spokes all but disappear, revealing the front discs and calipers, and just the lug hub and outer rim. . . . it's a pretty slick look.

I'm thinking the OEM spoiler might be my only option if I do one at all. The lines match up with the body perfectly, and that LED brake light is NICE. We'll see. . . .nice thing is, I've got a hookup at a local Honda dealership, and all the OEM stuff comes ready to bolt-on!

Thanks, guys. . . . I think a spoiler would actually look good, but I'm just not sure about interrupting the lines of the back window and trunk. What to do, what to do. . . . .

About the only other exterior mod I'm planning that will be of any real impact will be some underbody neons next spring. . . . that's if I still decide to show her.

Skillzster & Drunkentiger . . . the OEM sideskirts do not fall below the chassis of the car. They simply push the edge of the body out to where you can see it, making the car look lower. It's really a cool trick. The lowest part is still the chassis rails to which the skirts bolt to. Still, the only part I have to be even remotely careful with is the front lip, and with only 1.5" of drop, it's not a big deal at all.


Hehe. . . Blingin. . .. I hear that about the tails a lot, actually. It's no big deal. I may go back to stock at some point. But right now I feel the chrome TYC's are the classiest-looking aftermarket tails that blend in with my silver paint. To have an entirely silver car (minus tires and windows) interrupted by these huge red tails just doesn't really fit with how I want the car to look. So, I'm considering some DIY custom mod to my OEM tails to help them tie-in better. Until then, it's at least nice to have something on there that looks clean while I decide. And thank you for your feedback. I know not everyone likes aftermarket tails, and that doesn't bother me. Still, I get a lot of people staring into them in parking lots. . . lol. The TYC's have the prismatic reflectors that everyone seems to be mezmorized by when they take a closer look at the back end. . .




And BTW. . . it's everyone's feedback that helps me make decisions on these things. . . so please, keep the comments coming. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]
