To the owner....Nice Ride bro
LowKut, we are just giving our opinion that was solicited at the beginning of the thread. I think Dj appreciates the honesty and is going to take some of the advice given which will make his car cleaner looking.

I like tinted tails, its not that ghetto dark where no one can see it. Im gonna have to agree with others on the headlights and front plate. Good job nonetheless

my advice.....although it probly doesnt matter....would be take off the front plate, the chrome pillars, and the F-Sport badge. the car will look a lot cleaner. then save up for some nice wheels and a mild drop. "Nice" wheels are NOT bought at your local tire shop and most often have to be ordered and made to your car specifications.

I do like the black roof but think the antenna should be addressed somehow. ive wanted to do mine for a while, just havent got around to it.

you have almost the top of the line GS so were not talkin about a $25K Honda Civic here. the car deserves top of the line parts
I can get Work, Volk,Asanti, Aicona, AME, Maya, and even Kartier wheels at discount tire. Stop trying to act baller . LOL


Never heard of Kartier wheels until very recently. I am sure Discount tire can get them in the same amount of time as any wheels boutique. The wheel balance quality I will not vouch for. LOL

LOL, Tru that. I did my research online prior to getting my wheels and then I went to my local DT and purchased the wheels

I also agree with not modding a lease. What's the point?
I say just get some rims and call it a day. This car will still turn heads with a nice set of rims.
I love black roofs on white cars but, That roof without the painted shark fin antenna looks stupid. I know it, you know it, and everybody else knows it. I don't understand why it was not painted in the first place. I know you say you didn't want to spray paint it, but you might as well. It's better than leaving it white.
I think the carbon pillars would look great with the tint and roof. I don't like the headlight overlays in the pictures but maybe you'll prove me wrong if I see it in person. I'm around the Philly area so I might see your car around one of these days. PA doesn't require a front plate so I would take that off or spray it a gunmetal color or something.
And F-sport wheels would definitely need a drop. You'll gettting dark rims which looks smaller than lighter rims and the AWD is too high anyway, so I think it would look too crazy and out of place.
