Aright spring is almost here and I'm planning on doing some things.

First, lowering the car to get rid of wheel gap, not too low because the roads around here blow.
Next, tinting the windows to around 40%, not too dark. Keeping it legal too (35% all around here)
Repainting the rear drums since they're rusted and I'm cheap.. maybe repaint calipers too.
Finally, possibly new tails. No altezzas, most likely 99-00 si style tails.

I think that's it. Any other suggestions? Don't tell me to take the spoiler off, I don't want to deal with the holes in the trunk. Not too expensive either, I'm not made of money and I have that thing called college for the next three years still.







OLD picture, still same tails.

definately a drop and new tails for sure, maybe sell those rims and get some 15's or 16's...i dont think painting the rear calipers is a good idea unless you paint them black or flat black. they stand out like a sore thumb any other color.

Yeah they're already painted black. I don't want them to stand out so black works fine for me, I just don't want the rust to show.

They have a red/white tail light combo for sedans, however its not from an SI.

But i know what you mean.

Dont go cheap, or you'll end up redoing everything 10x sooner, and spending almost twice the money.

Do it right the first time, so you KNOW its done and taken care of, and you dont have to worry about it.

if youre not going too low, you should look into a lip kit. I guess it could also use new headlights too, I really hate that amber piece in the 96-98 headlights, but thats just me.

Look for a nice lip to put on. I love the CTR lips on 96-98 sedans. Put on a nice CTR grill, or replica, whatever. Just have to becareful, sometimes ebays CTR grills suck, mine isn't too bad though. I would definitely suggest to get some aftermarket red/clears, or just leave the amber ones on. Looks a lot cleaner. Debadgeing except the H makes it cleaner also. Definitely try to get a big smaller of rims, and make a decent drop.

Good luck.
