the lips are cool, but then u gotta look into design and rim size's, these wheels reminds me of those wheels slusshy first had, which totally held back his cars potential.

But if those are 18''s throw lower profiles on them and spacers......they should look way better.

but still from the pics u posted, those look small to be 18's......18's would have filled up our wheel gap way more. Cause with stock Type S 17's and a dropp the wheel welds gets filled up.

You should do a 03 front end conversion would look good.

haha nice. My front lip looks like yours

I should get some yellow high beam bulbs. Kinda like how they look when not on.

Anyone recommend some good, yellow high beam bulbs and possibly provide link to amazon.

I got that prime and Amazon usually has good prices.

I think the RSX wheels look good with the 99-01 front end. Seats look pretty plush as well.

How did you paint the carpet?

I'm not a fan of the tow hook or the red parts of the interior, but the wheels look good.

The front lip on that 3G TL is

from a hardware store; its "gutter guard" they sell them by the roll for about less then $7 or a single piece that would cover the grill for half the price i think, just cut to fit with scissors

There's vinyl and fabric spray paint that you can find in a auto parts store. remove the carpet from your car. vacuum the carpet, sprayed a layer of paint in sections and scrubbed the paint in with a brush, do a section at a time and repeat until you get the color you want.

That little wire is? What do you plan on powering with that? And Please take the time to run it correctly thru the firewall.

Oh sweet thank you! I'm getting kind of bored of the stock grille and I love what you did. Thinking I might have to make a trip to the co-op

Unless you race and occasionally head off into the gravel traps or drive in lots of snow and get stuck there is no reason for a huge tow hook
