Welcome to the forum

IMO-
#1 you need to polish those headlights..wow are they cloudy
#2 get rid of the rear splash guards, or put the fronts back on. backs only make it look like youre trying to pass for a truck.
#3 round yellow fogs=
#4 Ditch the Red A emblem
#5 Front lip needs some serious TLC

x2 on getting rid of the Red A emblem ASAP. im gonna go ahead and say get rid of the red shyt on the wheels too.. tuner stuff on stock wheels are bad... on top of painted stockies it just looks kinna rice-r-ish...

put some nice wheels on it..

round fogs just dont look right when the car is supposed to have rectangle shaped ones... (trapazoid-ish)

finish the lip kit off and get the sides and rear...

paint the front lip unless your planning to do something with the contrast in colors...

yeah..painted wheels are good

OP: The yellow fogs are ok, but what Rockstar said-they dont look right in that opening.

I wasnt meaning to bash on you man...

Car looks pretty good, will look even better when you address those issues.

1. polish those headlights
2. get OEM sideskirts and WW rear lip (paint match full lip kit)
3. yank that red emblem off and paint the grill trim body color, do something to your grill (for example cut the center out and replace with black mesh and a factory emblem)
4. strip the paint off those wheels and polish them or just buy aftermarket wheels.
5. lose the spoiler... and the sunroof visor
6. polish the crap outta the car.

Ok, here's my opinion. It's your car so do what you what you end up doing to it but, what i think is first of all yes those headlights gotta be sanded to get them clear again, get rid of the yellow fogs, sun roof visor thing's gotta go as well as the splash guards in the back and the red A emblem. the red lug nuts gotta go too but maye in time when you get some wheels. Full detailed wash and wax, and get that front lip painted the same color as the car. I suggest OEM Lip kit. WW kit is a little too Beefy lookin to me. Good look with the work.

ww is more beefy than oem but not ridiculous like a blitz bumper or something...oem looks too simple to me....jjashaa if you wanna sell a wing you not using send me pics...but no big deal if you not

**for the kit...should i paint it lgm or black??????**

that because he gets a discount for being JDM himself..

and can always find another one, so he sells them.. and contemplates on painting certain things.. and then doesnt.. and buys more parts..
