Nah..I'm not going to drop it..LoL..I'm not a fan of cars low to the ground like that and plus around here the bottom would get scraped up pretty bad because of pot holes and stuff..I'm probably going to get tints done and get it painted and maybe some better alloy rims...

very clean! interior and exterior.
Now keep it that immaculate and I will be impressed!
I know you're doing something about the tailpipes, but I have to mention that they look like
Paint the wipers and remove the rear emblems, especially the dealer's name!

Love the black CL love. You're interior is pretty damn clean, even though I prefer the black leather, it still looks pretty hot!

Yeah I just got the car about 3 weeks ago and haven't got time to get the finish pipes for the exhaust..I will be getting some soon and when I paint it the dealers name will be gone..And yeah either new wipers or paint them..

paint your wipers? thats the most rice thing ive ever heard? i must be talking to jackie chan. and yeah, lowering isnt bad at all, it really doesnt matter where you live, you just have to be a little careful.

and plus, if you get coilovers, if its too low you can just adjust it.

It looks like the paint is starting to wear off of the wiper arms. I have the same problem, and it looks shitty. They definitely need to painted, black, of course.

It's not rice if you are just restoring the paint, I did mine and they look 10 times better. All hondas seem to have a problem with the wiper arm paint peeling off. I painted mine to make them look stock again, it's so not rice.

Not if you're restoring paint.

I painted my wipers and they look worlds better. The black started to wear off and showed silver.

Haha BlackAck, you take a picture of everything you do to your car, no matter how small.

You don't know the half of it, my girl always yells at me that my mem cards are always full of car pics. I have millions of pics that I've never even posted on here. But I just thought the comment was such bs I had to show that it's not rice. Rice would be painting them bright red, or yellow or something, I painted mine 500 deg ceramic gloss black and they look great. You should have seen them before, I have pics of that too somewhere. But just painting them back to black so they don't look ghetto is a subtle touch to make your car look nice, def not rice lol

haha and you know what's rice and what isnt? Jackie Chan? I didnt know he was into modding cars...

I painted my wipers black and they look a shit load better than they did. Contemplating painting the greyish strip below the windshield. probably make it look a lot better.
