Nice. I'm not much for the graphics but everyone has their own opinions. My one suggestion: get some clear corners. Good job.

Sweet......the rims match the color of the car and grill very nicely

NegatiZE: I know this is not everybody who likes the stripes, but as you said, everyone has their own opinions. And about the clear corners, you're not the 1st person to say that to me, that will be my next modification !!

Indigo: I think it's not me you saw, because I'm living in Canada, Québec !!
And thanks to everyone for the good comments !!

and on that note, kill the side molding (especially it being black), and lower her IMO

oh ****......

I just saw the graphics going over the molding, scratch that idea - too late for that one. I'd at least take the "LX" sticker off, I did on my 99 LX. Really nothing to brag about I think but this is all subjective.

make sure you take what everyone says as constructive criticism , and nothing more, don't get offended and don't take it personally ,

I think the car looks good for what you have done so far, the rims are a nice addition and make the car look nice, the stickers on the side are not bad , although you should have gotten the molden on the side of the car painted first ,, .. When you get the clear corners make sure you look into some crystal clears and not the foggy clear corners , .. Your car looks good, but you just have some more things to do, that would make it outstanding ...

Keep moding your car and look into a turbo or NOS set up also , don't neglect the need for speed, ... we can't sit and get great gas mileage for the rest of our protege lives .

oh yeah , paint the mirrors and your brake calipers to ,,...

yeah, i should have clarified myself, that sounded mean.

i HATE the graphics.
the rainguards/bugguard are tacky as hell
you need clear corners.

rest is nice. you definately need some performance parts though.

Very nice wheels! ADR DV-8 was one of my choices when I was looking for shopping around for wheels.

Oh and since everyone is telling you what else to get, I might as well add that you need a drop.
