Well when I got my car it was slightly ricey. Now I have managed to swap the tails for some 99-00 tails, I got new wheels the 18s were huge so I went with 16s, I lowered it 2.5 in the front and 2 in the back on form and function (F^2) full coilovers, replaced the ricey muffler with a full megan racing catback with jdm sideways exit yo. I removed the stickers and fire exstinguisher, the only decal I have now is representing the Christian car club I am in Team 1:16. Below are some before and after pics. Enjoy!

im dropped on form and function coil overs, nice ride and plenty stiff, whats next im still working on. I dont really want to do anything crazy, i dumped a ton of money into my teg and made it uncomfortable just to be fast, I dont want to do that again. I would rather keep this one looking good and maybe try a change of pace. I thought about turbo but thats alot of work i did once and dont want to do again on top of the fact that i heard the y8 was good at spinning bearings with turbo, maybe do a 50 shot just for an extra kick but we will see

that front bumper int he "before" picture looks better than stock bumper IMHO. not every bodykit is rice...rice is more like a state of mind. The grill wasn't that bad...I actually think it complemented your rims. meh, its ur ride, and either way it looks nice.

lol, the bumper wasnt changed and neither was the grill, i just took off the vtec sticker that was in the grill and the exhaust did sound like ass, i like the way it looks without the silencer but its a little loud and when i have to drive 4 hours to charleston thats a lot of loud
