uh yeah. and you should drop it. put dat b***h on 17s. camber. megan full exhaust. renegade body kit, get some fog lights. carbon fiber hood. and taillights. HID convert the headlights. get projector housings. get an oem spoiler. tint windows dark. paint calipers and drums same color as car. or red or blue. rsx racing seats. put 2 12" subs in the trunk. and you'll be straight. but you'll be out about 10 grand.

well the renegade has more of the BA look to it. but some of the others i agree. they do look ricey. its hard to get a good tuner look with a car that was ment to look affordably luxurious.

may i just ask whats with all the 'what should i do to my car' threads lately? do whatever you want. you can do anything. go with your taste, your style, and your goals. go check out other people's rides to get some ideas and go from there. personally i dont think anything looks nicer than big fat turbo bolted to a d17... well except maybe a bigger turbo bolted to a k20.

A turbo on an automatic? :P Oh yea that nice! :P
I agree make it your own. Do some research, get some ideas and then start spending that hard earned cash. And by the way, you have a AEM Short Ram intake.
Happy Tunning.

damn.....don't have 10 g's........like the ideas though thanx



So for starters, how about dropping it about an inch or two...and maybe a lip kit (instead of a body kit)?????
But would that look right before sitting it on rims????

The last car i bought was already nice, didn't have to do much to it.......never started from 100% stock.......


Thanx

ok 1. I have a total of about 3k in my turbo kit as it sits today.... with another 1.5k in parts i cant afford to get tuned at the moment.... it can be done cheaply, but turboing an automatic is retarded

2. personally i think a drop with oem wheels looks better than wheels with the monster truck suspension, but its ultimately up to you.

Keep it clean. Honda did their buyers a favor when they designed this car from stock. Its one of a kind and it looks pretty good stock. Maybe different suspension and wheels but other than that the body can be stock! Save your money. You don't wanna be known as "all show and no go" do you?
