    I think a black interior (black dash, door panels, carpetting, back seats) would look really good. Then get some nice Recaro or Sparco racing seats in red and black, and get a red neon underseat kit, if you like that sort of thing. Don't forget some window tinting if you don't already have it.

    Under the hood I would go with white detailing to match the exterior color (piping, covering, spark lines, etc.)... and do something with the valve cover to make it stick out amongst the rest of the engine components (maybe paint it white also, or red and mask the honda lettering and paint that black. Man, there's so much you can do.

    If you've got some money to spend (in upwards of $2000), then you can do almost anything with the interior and engine compartment. If you have less, though, you can still do a good job.

    Post some pics when you start working on your car.

    Good Luck!

    Hey thanks

    Thanks guys so far, those are some good ideas (Black, red) but i still kinda like the all white idea. See i went to the local Part store they sell and mix paints, and i desided to make my own white, its a combo of Ford Ultra White paint (which was originaly painted on stock off the line Stangs) and also a paint caled pearl white. And the workers gave me a good idea, and its not Coke White or Cocaine White cause its a pure white, like cocaine! So i think i will do everything in that unless i get something else i like. But again thanks!

    i think contrast would be best. red and black go great together and if you could work them into your car it would be sweet. oh yeah, thats actually pritty impressive mods (ok so i'm 17 and have basicly an all stock car) i'd say if you wanted to do anything else then to jump into the group buy things cause they seem to get pritty good deals (so far i've heard cam, lightened flywheel, and carbon fiber hood ones have all been great).
