Tint is all i would say is left to do, if your ballin, a new paint job. Don't add any chrome or something flashy. If you want to ride better, strut bars are a start.

What are you driving?

Re: Next Modifcation ?

dont get euros or projector headlights, they look stupid. keep it JDM for a clean look. HID headlights are a nice addition. maybe some fog lights. maybe accent your interior now.

Re: Next Modifcation ?

If you don't wanna look ricey just don't ever get any kind of body kit, whatsoever! Don't get "HID" lights or euro tails. Lol.... actually the list can go on and on and on.

Definitely keep it clean though. Upgrade parts from more upscale models like a Prelude or Integra. I'm pretty sure you'd be surprised at what kind of Acura part would fit your car. Personally I love to go to junkyards and salvage pieces from torn up Honda or Acura cars that have bit the big one. Something as simple as a console of a different color can make your car more unique and less monotone for example.

HID's is a nice touch if you ask me, improving visibility is always a good thing.

Re: Next Modifcation ?

HIDs are a plus but I would stay away from "Super Blue" and if you dont want a body kit you can go with a nice afternmarket or OEM lip kit that can really make your car look nice.

Re: Next Modifcation ?

I should've emphasised what I meant by "HID" was, not going the correct route and pairing HID's with projector headlights like you should. If you've never seen a car with these horrible looking botched HID's then you wont get it I guess. There's a lot of kits that you can buy from eBay or whatever and they suck a**.

HID foglights are the easiest way to upgrade your lighting IMO and they actually are a plus in improving your visability. Adding HID's without projectors is pure amature business.

Re: Next Modifcation ?

si/type-r grill always looks good got mine for like 20 bucks on ebay and got it painted for 75 worth every penny

Shaved emblems can make the back look a lot cleaner

For interior some really easy and cheap one is a shift *** and racing pedals (found some really cool type-r pedals on ebay)

Re: Next Modifcation ?

If you don't have a drop and some wheels, then thats the first thing you should do. After that then you could worry about trivial things like HID kits and other lighting.

As for the interior, look into doing an LED upgrade throughout the car. You'll be surprised how much newer your car will look at night and done right it should not look ricey. Another thing to consider is perhaps getting the interior re-done in leather. Its a little costly, but so worth it.

Spoon shifters look pretty cool. They're a little pricey though
