First off congrats on the new mod, the car looks sooooo much "fresher" and smoother too. As for the wheels take your time bro, we're not goign anywhere and the wheels are not either (well...that is unless we sell them out! )

Anyways smart move on looking at your personal financial situation and making a more responsible / wise choice. I've been there bro! You took your down payment money and did some things to make the existing car more livable, nothing wrong with that.

 

DUDE where are the EYELIDS !!!!!!

Now it can run them and not look out of place.
I love the grille a real winner for sure with the new emblem .Try and find a different style mesh ( read thicker) or a oem style one to fit inside it . It is too sporty (read civic) looking .
Those JDM lights really smooth out the front end also.
The wheels , i used to love a long time ago until they were knocked off by 300 companies and now corsica's (old enough to remember) roll on them.
Throw on the clear bra it is worth every red cent .
Only other light mod i might do is slight smoke vinyl over the rear lights and markers . It will only add a smoke look without shading them out if you can find the overlays.

Way to step your game up !

 

Sk,, you have always been my biggest fan..LOL!!!!

Oh,, don't think I dont still have them. These shots were taken the same day I had picked the car up from the shop. Hadn't even gone home yet to pull themout of storage.

Grill was not totally my handiwork. All I did was paint and mount it. The mesh was already on the grill when I bought it. This grill was some what of an experiment to see if I would even like the look, and so far I really do. Have gotten lots of compliments on it so it will stay until I find a better quality mesh. Not a hard change, just hard for me to find what I want.

I still love the look of the wheel, but you are right,, just about EVERYBODY is starting to rock them. These are due to be put down as my winter wheels anyway, and I will be shopping over the next few months for new high quality wheels for next year. BTW,, you did know that even MY wheels were knockoffs, right? LOL!!! Unfortunately, Lowenhart LDR never made an 18" in this style. When you ballin on a budget, you have to take extra time to get the right look, get the right fit,, keep em clean and then keep it movin until you can get what you want. For the price I paid, even though they are not name brand, these wheels have held up well and I got my moneys worth out of them. After 2 years of rockin the same look, will be in the market for another attitude soon.

 

WOW is that the same car? It looks great Tony, love the monotone and the grill! I had no idea of the transformation until this morning. So I had to jump on to check it out.
