Is this really necessary? I just don't understand why people do this, as long as the car is maintained and run on the recommended premium fuel they run relatively clean

This spring is going to be purely cosmetic. unless i sell one of my other projects, than it's ATLP quads, J-pipe, etc. but here is the cosmetic changes.

1.Roof spoiler
2.Roof is going gloss black
3.getting my CE28N's redone (need color opinions)
4.I have 2 cans of Plasti-dip and some ideas for it.
5.A good detail on the exterior.

other than that i am searching for inspiration for My TL or my Turbo Civic coupe, or my EG Sedan resto-mod......to many projects.

moneys tight, moving back to LA and paying for school (UTI) so just small stuff
-new brakes (done Brakemotive GB)
-new spark plugs
-foot well lighting. front and rear
-aluminum pedals, clutch and brake pedal rubbers worn-out.
-LED lighting, switch out interior lights
-cold cathode license plate light
Hopeful but not likely
-accord fogs
-new wheels and tires (still looking around)
-AEM or K&N CAI
-progress RSB
-drop (most likely springs, unless i find a really good deal on coilovers)

I have to install my SC pedals, Type-S tails, and Type-S side markers; I also have to pay this thing off. Not many mods because I'm away for the summer and then it's off to college.

I really like the lens for the price (paid $340 I iirc). The nikon 24-70 f2.8 was too much right now ($1800 ).

It performs well for me and I would recommend it to anyone as it stays on my camera most of the time.

Definite
- roof spoiler (from bmwoemshop)
- OEM window visors
- matching lug nuts with painted calipers (probably black)
- painted engine covers and roof lifts (thinking metallic midnight blue)
- new tires
- new tint job

Probable for Summer
- new jpipe
- TBS / gaskets
- new rotors
- new aluminum pedals (hopefully from Supercomputer)
- white LED puddle lights (but only activated by lock/unlock)

Doubtful this year
- new wheels
- sound system
- coilovers
- XLR8 motor mounts
- Progress RSB
- Lightweight pulley

Aww ya'll are have big plans for your rides. Need to pay off the car.

I am broke as hell right now, I would love to get the complete A-spec body kit since they plan to be discontinued by summer.
And would like the A-spec wheels too.

But will just plan to get the car fully detailed next weekend by a family friend who works for a Volvo Dealer. His workers do detailing in their reconditioning garage at the dealership and will fix some imperfections in the paint.
