Looks like its in pretty good shape, but definately needs to be lowered, and some 17's or 16's would be good... 18s are huuuge

Here's some problems you didnt see. The hood has bad oxidation/heat fade, there are many tiny dents and dings/scratches on each door, the passenger side headlight cover has a small dent, the rear driver side quarterpanel has a medium size dent, front bumper needs to be reset on drivers side, oil pan needs to be replaced, passenger side lower wheelwell(under door) large dent, gas fading under gas door, front and rear bumpers/trim need to be repainted, need sunroof cover, small dent in roof, headliner/some interior needs to be replaced, needs suspension (I believ everything is pretty shot). There are probably a couple things I forgot, but oh well.

Yeah I'm actually on stocks at the moment, because the 18's are just to big for the little Honda. I mean I love how they look, just too big in diameter. I'm actually selling/trading my wheels, and am looking for some 14s, 15s, or 16. Mesh hopefully.

It's dirty lol. No it doesnt really shine like that in real life though...for some reason. I have spent about 8 hours doing a full wax one time....and it didnt last either. I'm thinking about repainting soon.

well either way dude, it looks damn nice for being 20 years old.

Yeah, I'm trying to get everything resttored lol, before I start any heavy mods. I shouldn't even mod this car since it's a dd, but now I just can't help myself. The more and more cars I get, the more and more money I don't have. XD

well, the body looks great. if anything just give it a good buff and wax. as for mods, mines really not come that far since i got it in '02, but i find them worth fixing up since they are reliable and cheap to fix.

Yeah I didn't plan to do anything to this one, since it's just my daily driver...but I started. XD Oh and buffing and waxing doesn't help this car...I've tried many times, just does nothing for it. Even used TR3-Resin glaze, which is great stuff...and it still didnt last long.

Well I didn't since it was a dd...but unfortunately now I do. XD I'm looking for a set of mesh Enkei's for it. Also looking to buy another car though, so don't know how fast the mods will come on this. I want to go stealth on this car, like I want to do with my truck.Nothing too crazy, just some redone exterior/interior, engine rebuild later on(wanna try and hit 500,000), and maybe get it painted.

Indeed, I'm shooting for 500,000. :) I wanna hit 500k in my truck too, but don't know if I'll keep the stock motor long enough. (it's only on 264k at the moment.)

I last filled up with $17.77 and I've been driving on that since last Tuesday. I have to refuel tomorrow, but I'm still on quarter of a tank. I drive about 4-500 miles a week give or take.

Yeah I always find myself driving fast in this car. I think just because its decently light.

Wheels look hella huge on that car. The body on the car is pretty straight though. I think grey is one of the better colors for the 3g, because they dont have 80's colored interiors like most 3g's do. Its more "modern".

Your not the only one. This car is so fun to drive, even if its not that quick.

^ When I do the repaint, I'm thinking about an Arctic White, Pearl Gunmetal, or Jet Black. That 50 dollar paintjob looks promising.
