Thanks for all the comments. The guys at the MNSC said I shouldn't have painted the trim, but I think it looks 10X better all one color. And those wheels really make it look neat. Now all I need is a rear part of the interior, and It will be a lot better. you wouldn't believe all the road noise you get with no rear carpet. I also need new struts, I don't think I am gunna do springs though, it sits really nice now and I hate cars that can't even make it over a speed bump.
So its a project in progress. I decided no rear wing, stock lighting looks great so that won't be replaced.
Next on the list is:
Interior, looks like I am gunna have to custom make something, gunna have to get some of that black carpet from mac's
Exhaust, since the muffler fell off before I got it
Struts
30% tint on the rear windows
Then I dunnoIs there anyone that know Honda's good? I got a funny noise in the driveline that bothers me. Its a humming noise that comes and goes.

What happend to your front "H" logo, I thought you shaved that shit. Your window trim looks pretty old and white, might be another cheap upgrade.Also, I just can't feel those wheels.
Geez can't you just say thats nice and good for you, lol.
I was gunna shave the hood H emblem, but didn't feel like welding the holes shut, so I still got it and I painted it black. I know the window trim is pretty weathered, but right now it looks bad becasue it is still a little dirty from when I wet sanded the primer, just use some good ol Armor all and it will look better. I really do need to replace the window trim, but the only place I could find that sold it was the dealer and ya it would cost more that the wheels and paint job to redo all that.
I still need someone to come over and help me figure out the humming sound.
