There a few things you can do to dress it up a little more.

1) Replace internal lights with Xenon
2) Paint Brake Rotors and parts under the hood
3) Racing Pedals

That's all I can think of right now.

If you can afford it, get rims.....IMO they change the look of a car the most.

Holy cow, that's all you need to be in a publication!!!????

I have a car the was in Lowrider Magazine. I showed for years before it got featured.

All it took was....
Total interior done in leather w/ a custom roll bar, chrome gallore in the engine compartment, chrome suspension, chrome brake components, chromed exhaust, chromed gas tank, smoothed and painted fenderwells, body kit, full custom paint, stereo, rims and chromed out hydros.. It is a lowrider...LOL.. Plus a lot of little stuff...

Definately look at rims. Rims make the car most of the time as far as looks go.

go to either hosetechniques.com or a website like that and get an acord v6 wire dress up kit costs about 150 , but will change the whole look of the engine, that with painted valve covers would be enough in my opinion!

I hate to tell you C.J. but you might literally be fucked.

I on the other hand also recieved the notice. But I know that if I choose I will be in the paper (sucks to be an underclassmen). I already talked to the person in charge and I have been assured a spot if I choose to do so.

By the way, quick cheap mods won't help. It is just a section devoted to those who have nice cars that stick out. Or that aer friends with the person writing this section (I.E. Me). He he

Sorry for the teasing but I couldn't help it. Good luck with trying to get in and I will put in a good word for you. But emm, I can only do so much. LOL

If I decide to put the CL, I may choose to put the s2000 in there. I like that one a lot better. Considering I am selling the CL it may be a better idea to put that in there to get some exposure.

That would suck, not only will your brakes be fuxed, but it will come off on the first break press.

Oh wait, you meant calipers didn't you
