Don't turn your car into that ridiculous celebrity who can't decide how he/she wants his/her nose to look after surgery. If you keep switching it, something bad will happen and you'll end up with a Micheal Jackson nose job haha.

At least you're keeping the looks fresh, I simply prefer people know I drive an Acura. Sure it's a dressed up Accord, but it's a damn fine suit with a better heart underneath.

Looks good. Never been a fan of the Saber grille, so I think it's an improvement. And obligatory "how the heck do you afford all this stuff as a student?" comment.

What exactly do you tell people when they ask what you drive and then see your car?

lolol socal does it big haha. Though if you think about it, a few factors go into that question:

1) how did you get the car? if it's a hand me down (which I'm pretty sure his is) or if your parents bought it for you, then that cost is offset immediately

2) gas and insurance? who pays? another factor, I feel like most students have their parents pay this. And if so (mine did for me while I was in college, no more) then more power to them

3) tuition. who pays? if you're not paying tuition, then working a part time job can net you money quickly

4) How cool are your parents? - I can tell you that my parents thought it was a huge waste to mod my car and hence I wouldn't have been able to do much because they were/are (for certain things, rent...thx dad! lol) my financial backing. So while I'm with them what they say goes. If your parents don't mind how and how much money is spent then doing big moves is not as impossible as you think.

I mean I used to make around 100-150 a week during college just at my student job on campus. this was between 15/20 hours a week. so save for a month or two, bam. there's the lip or new rims. but while I was in college, a) the car wasn't mine (audi a6, dad's old car, sits at my rents) and b) my parents would have killed me if they knew I dropped a grand on a lip kit for my car

not really haha, but when you write opposition and support memos all day you learn a few things. I was working late last night and couldn't think of a better way to procrastinate than to hang around azine

at first i wasn't so sure about it, but after your second pic you can definitely pull it off! both grilles look super clean on ur car either way. i think i like this one a little more tho just because of the extra chrome bar in the middle.

I like the Saber grill more. The Inspire looks too close to stock. But I would have changed it too just for fun. Looking at the same thing everyday gets boring.
