What's your tire size(not your rims)? You should lower the ride a bit to give it a more aggressive look.

That's cool, Keep the mods coming. Coilovers would be your best choice for lowering your ride.

Not feeling the rim/tire setup especially with the mudflaps.
Car is clean and in very nice shape. Window tint and engine covers look nice as well.

wow look at that wheel gap!! it almost doesn't look right... everything else looks good though. i'd say get new tires and drop that thing to get rid of that huge gap.

Everything looks great! Now SLAM it!!
I was thinking about making my interior wood trim silver also. How far along are you?
Also, I'd recommend getting different tires ASAP, your speedo is 7.4% off. That also means that for every 100 miles you travel, your odometer reads 107.4 miles! Check this site:

If you want to do the door inserts, your gona have to take your door panels out and drill out the plastic rivots on the backside of the door panel to get the wood grains out. I did a DIY on removing the wood grains and door panels. Go to the DIY sections, and scroll till you find it. its on one of those pages.

Puttin' some nice thought into your ride there. Doin' some mods that I never thought of with the interior wood trim. I like your switches in the dash too. I think that was you, right?

Hmmmm...., my interior might look pretty good with ABP wood trim.... That is a mod for much later though. Need the ABP suede or leather inserts in the seats first.... Or will I get flamed for that? Tryin' to feel out some ideas on mods.

How's the light output of the 8000k compared to stock? Does it light up the road less when you're driving? And you already know about the drop, not a bad start though.

naw those aren't them, they are a set of ADR's from last year. i didnt wnat anythin bigger then 17 but i wanted a aftermarket wheels so i got one that still has factory size but with the better performace and look i wanted. now i wish i would have ordered the right tire. with the ghetto way start prying in the middle of it, thats how i started and then make sure u use a great glue (GOOP) to put'em back on. trust me its very rewarding in the end. i just slapped the tint back on mine (5% all doors and rear window is 35%). here is also a small update, i shaved the civic switch to slid my factory tl foglight switch cover over it so it looks more factory. let me know what yall think. here are some new pics period
