Welcome OP!

Dropping it/clearing the headlights/tinting it all change the look drastically and would be a great start

It looks like your system has a resonator. But the weird thing is that it looks much bigger than the resonator that came with my xlr8 resonated quads a few years ago. My resonator barely looked bigger than the pipe it was 3" in diameter but yours looks like it's about 4". My resonated quads were pretty loud for something "resonated" (I saw your other post about your system sounding quiet)...most people I talked to with the resonated quads said it was much louder than they thought, just like i did, but while still sounding great

Yea i think i figured out the problem. I ordered non-res and they sent me resonated and thats why i expected it to be louder. Im a noob when it come to exhaust, in the past on all my civics it was just a high flow cat straight pipe and a muffler so i had no clue it was resonated just by looking at

Blackout, your car is coming along nicely man. Any plans for a drop and maybe removing the plastidip from your wheels? I'm normally a fan of plasitidip but it looks so dull in comparison to NBP.

I'm no wheel expert, but 18" black chromium xxr530s if you want to stay true to your ID, and set off the NBP reflectivenes. 19" is painful to look at without lots of drop (and IMO lots of drop is painful to look at to begin with, lol, but I'm old ) although the Genesis R wheels another user put on look pretty damn good. Get the aluminum trim on the grille and license plate areas coated black.

the accord fog mod looks good, but unless you purchase OEM fogs most of the lenses are plastic. Since i've installed mine, I've had to replace them twice, I've driven 150K with them installed. (rocks taking out the lenses).
