Well, I am torn on what to do with my Tax money. I have to get a piece of furniture so I can only spend half on the car...So what would you all do with 1 grand...Since show season is coming, I really want something to bring people over to the car...I need that Wow factor...The engine is nice and clean, but I need something to bring them over....I am thinking CF Hood and Grill and some minimaul side graphics (Hold opinions on graphics)

IN Aug, I will get about 2 g's for bonus so I plan to take that and dig into some more go fast goodies....DP and Exhaust....

So thoughts? (gossip)
 
How about lowering springs, CF hood, grille, and lip with fogs. That should draw some attention
 
springs, hood, grill, eyelids, and vinyl (I say forget the lip, I like the 03.5 lip, but possibly fogs)

I've got my vinyl picked out if I should ever actually decide to buy some

I hate messing with perfection though on the suspension, so I am not sure if I will go with springs. I have Apexi Shock/Damper Coilovers on my Accord and it still did not handle as nice as the MSP. Plus the extra ride height in nice:) I lowered the Accord to remove the wheel gap, but the MSP does not have that much...Keep the ideas coming..

I had not thought about painting the calipers...What color would you do with a grey car? Blue?
 
no way on the blue!!! keep it in the color scheme - grey, silver, gunmetal or black
 
Save your money for the down pipe and exhaust system. I paid about $821.46 for my Apex catless downpipe and Greddy SP2. Uncork your self from the dual factory in-line catalyst system.
 
Not interested in go parts. People could really car less about that when the car is standing still...FMIC and BOV take care of that for the time being...
 
I decided to get the grille from dg. Painted silver. Also gonna take the amber thing off the headlights. I already have eyelids, but I'm waiting til I get the grille to see if it matches right.

I was toying with the cf hood and all that jazz, but I can't spend the money right now. Only on the grille.

What I need to do is put money into repainting my front end, and hood. Friggin chips, sandblasting is horrible.
 
The RH will be fine for this season....Everyone thinks they are aftermarket anyway.

Onrails: Did you get the CF Grill or the FB grill?

Im assuming FG if he painted it silver.
 
Ordering it tomorrow. I am going with the FG painted silver. I love silver cars!

me too, I wanted silver (pissed)

but I still love my car :)
 
Save your money, let it grow in the bank, leave your car alone, sell it in a year or 2 for an EVO.

hood, grill, eyelids

Totally agree. These make the front look aggressive. If you are going on looks these are a must have....oh....lower it as well....less 'floating' effect. Good luck.
 
yeah i woulda added springs, but he already said he wasn't interested...but i think those 4 things are a must for a more "show" car
