here's an idea... just take it for what it's worth
but maybe paint the door handles black...
that would give you your black accents on the sides

What rims would you get if you changed them? I have to say your car is very unique. The only thing I really can't get my head around is your gas cap door, it really needs to be the same color as the rest of your car.
What are you thinking about changing besides the rims?

the gas cap is cf. i basically have cf hood, cf interior, cf door pillars, and I'm planning on cf lip all around. I would make my whole freakin car cf but I don't think that's possible.i guess i'll post up pics again when I get my black vinyl roof and cf lips. thanx for all ya'lls input.

for the carbon fiber hood i would have followed the lines already going down the hood since it links up with the front bumper. i also dislike the blue overlays personally

i think with some small changes to your car it will make things look alot better

If you line your car up next to a ricer Civic and covered up the body, I don't think I can tell a difference

i'm not feeling that stick on you have on your gas door, reminds me of civics, other wise the car looks good.

ill tell you what... if you got rid of the blue lights, that gas lid (which i only see on like old tibrons) .. that car would be sick.. i dont care what anyone says.. your car is your car and what you do to it is ultimately your decision so why even ask what other people think. just enjoy your car..

[QUOTE=ek9vboi;3505800]

DO NOT BE LIKE THESE RICERS QUOTE]

Why must you be so RUDE??? Who cares if its RICE/VIP/Sport or any otherthing. You have had many negative and rude posts in the 2IS section this past week and its getting old! Dont post if you have nothing nice to say.


To the OP...I think once you have the rest of the CF kit on and the roof done that things will look much better. You could even do the trunk in CF as a few other members have done to complete the look. I am not a fan of the overlays but just my opinion.

Car looks great!

A black roof, whether it be glass or painted, is a current aesthetic trend that is quite popular.

Sure, it's not functional, but at least it looks good when properly done...

Unless anyone knows of a place that they do that for around 100 bucks up in the bay area. hrm... maybe it IS the blue overlays that are making it look off? Maybe I will take them off.
yo..where in LA are you gonna take your IS to get the vinly done?
I see that you are in SF right now..I'm in Berkeley area (Cal student)
but I'll be going to LA in two weeks for summer break!
maybe we can go together and get some discount??

thats what everyone said in the 90's about 52" cf wings on the back of civics/accords... look where that went...

If you wanna spend money to make your car look different, get airrunner = very practical when driving *no worries about curbs/speedbumps* and looks very cool when parked *slammed*.

As for ppl saying, lets be nice and not call something rice... hey i run blue int. lights = rice, so i can talk
