Personally this is what I would do:
1. Remove the mirror signals. I have never been a fan of the sidemarkers (fender lights) but on your color scheme they are passable. But them with the mirror's is too much and I have always personally felt that the mirrors blinkers are kind of a foo-foo civic mod, something you do when you just want to do something like alot of guys with Honda's.
2. Lose the headlight trim. If you look at the car in some of the first pics the headlight trim doesn't follow the lines of the car, it's just kinda a random curve stuck out there you know? For instance, look at the first picture on the first page, the headlight trim might be ok if it lined up with the fender line/bulge but it's quite a bit lower and just puts a body line off into limbo. Doesn't flow well.
3. Your New wheels look nice, good choice. (See I'm not all about bad critcism
)
4. Get rid of that thing on the left side of your dash below the edfc. I see you have another one in the cup holder so I'm assuming one of them is a Rev/Speed meter. Basically just a gadget that is cluttering up your nice (I'm diggin the seats ) interior and I'm sue it's in the way getting in and out, get rid of that thing and use the money for something that actual performs a function.
5. Roof Antenna (again along the lines of the mirror blinkers, one of those "I have to do something" mods.
6. Stick with your current taillights.
7. PLEASE don't put chrome door handles on that car. They will stick out like a sore thumb. The car's paint condition/color already "pop" you don't need anymore or else it will look tacky.
The list above will make your car look much cleaner.
I'm going to keep looking at the pics, there is still something that just isn't setting it off I just can't put my finger on it.
Edit: After a few minutes I realized what is contributing to it. I think your sideskirts are throwing off the look of the car. Everything on the car is nice and flowing but the sideskirts are very "squared off", does that make sense? Check out some L-Tuned side skirts for example, they are almost like a larger stock side skirt, they flow with the body line of the car, the ones on there now are very sharp looking and I think that is giving the car a little bit of a dated look.
And again, by now means am I trying to be rude, you probably have one of the cleanest Gs's on the board, I just think you are right that there are a few simple things that could just make it flow better.

Your car looks very good, I would look into a different set of wheels. Some thing that is new and current from Japan. Don't get me wrong your wheels are good looking, but a little to sporty "racer" for the over all look of the car.
and new rims.

A day in San francisco+removed eye lids
So since last month i bought new wheels, got the windows tinted darker, removed front and rear eye-lids. Went to the bay area this weekend took so good pictures. im thinking the the tint is too dark, i kinda liked it without tint but its needed. getting smaller tires than current 255- front 285/20 rear so i can lower the car a little more. looking to add chrome trunk bar.3 piece rear spoiler??? anything else?
