I would work on fixing the small details, and save up some $ to get new suspension to lower your car a little. New Shocks and Springs would be my first step. All of the other things you stated, are all minor fixes/mods.

Tint is one of the big things on your car. If I were you, I would get the tint that is silver (almost mirror) and fades to regular tint, since your car is silver it wont look bad at all. ( What is that tint called ? Anyone know what I am talking about? )

As for the front bumber, if the law in cali says that you dont have to have a front lisence plate, I would sand down the holes that hold it on, patch them with some filler, and get the bumper re-painted.

Also, how bad (deep) is the scratch in the headlight? If its not to deep you can wet sand it and buff it out with some polishing compound, and then put a nice coat of wax (for plastics) on it and it will look better than new.

P.S. I will be moving to San Diego in October for school. So keep posting on the board, and maybe we can check out each others ideas when I get down there.


WELCOME TO HAN, ask away.

Also, will his tails (Red/Clear) fit in my 94 EX? I want to get somthing like that.
"Spinners" as in steering wheel spinner. Um let me find a pic I agree moon walkers (spinners?) for a honda dont mesh. Man those came into style and right outta style realy quick in my view.
yea Ill keep you updated. Ill be in and around 858/619 area code in SD

I think I want to spend some money on new lights, some OEM's were suggested. A repainted bumper and some new lights would do a good deal for the front ends weak look. YAY My wheel skin just got here !!

I'll take your XL1 :drool: I'll give you some seats in exchange

Head light casings (keyed) - Get some Black housing lights or nice OEM Ones,stay away from projectors/halos!
Seats kinda suck (better support and a litttle lower would be nice) - Some OEM 93-97 Del Sol or 94-01 Integra
Gauge Covers - I would leave them stock or take the cluster out and change the bulbs/paint the needles.But by the sounds of you that may be too complicated for you.
Stereo Deck - Alpine Cd Headunit or i have had good luck with JVC products
Stereo Speakers - Rockford or kicker
Rims - 15"-16" Rotas or Some nice OEM Honda Civic Si /Acura Integra rims
Wheels - Falken Ziex 512
Tinting - IMO stay away from it to avoid problems
look, its everyone's car on HAn :db:

Actually, it's kinda true for me. I can never get ahead with my cosmetic work. I got scratches, a torn rear bumper, a hole in my carpet. and it rattles like a mother from bass, and low tone loud ass exhaust.
