    reminds me of when I got mine. Get some tint, some nice chrome wheels, and paint the tails. Also clear out your front bumper lenses.

    Welcome!

    Moldings painted white would really look good. White especlally looks real good with the moldings painted to match. Then maybe some tint, a drop, and some rims if you like. It's all up to you though cuz it IS your car, and you've got to do it how YOU want it to look. Take a look around the pics forum though, and you'll find tons of ideas here and there on what works/doesn't. Looks like your car is in nice shape though, so that's good to start out with!

    So you're from S. Fla too? Or Where at?

    New rims for sure, like 17's the painted moldings would work and a drop. oh and the tint, then your car would look much more complete. good luck man, i see many dollard being spent in the near future lol.

    those wheels and rims are brand new. the previous owner bought just before i bought the car. they're mag wheels. its says American Racing in the center. Can somebody edit one of the pics so i can see what my car would look like in the end. remember, white moldings, dropped, tint windows, but leave the wheels, cuz i feel guilty about changing the rims just yet since they're brand new, thanx

    ya, get rid of those stickers. I'd do the molding white, drop it, and who knows, maybe a kit.

    paint the moldings, slam it clear the bumper lenses, get rid of the bumper stickers, paint the tails red um...........i don't mind your rims tho, oh yeah u clear the bumper signals by heating them up and removing the clear plastic housing, inside there is a yellow insert plastic thingy, u just take it out and BOOM! instalclears!!! :lol mine are of some of the clearest on the board i might add :pimp: u can see the blue piaa bulbs nicely right through it, when u heat it up use either a heat gun or (like me) hot water!!!! worked just fine for me

    Alright retract that statement I said about the rims I didn't know they were American Racing Rims. You can keep them if you like them but I just don't like American Racing rims on imports. But, it doesn't really matter (get rid of the center caps and put Honda ones in there and they'll be fine ) They look cool from the pics but I just have a thing against AR rims (not sure how that started though, can't really remember why)
