Ya damn right. Get small bolt ons that can be transferred to your hatch when you get it. Dont bother with intake or exhaust shit. I would do suspension stuff, wheels and thats about it. The car you have now in an LX - auto. Unless youre planning on keeping it for while I wouldnt fuck with it much. Hey pedro, i hear work sucks now without me there? By the way, I have YELLOW alarm LEDs in stock... I just put a blue one on my car to match my shift lite....

Advice on interior painting, dont do it unless you know wtf you are doing or it will come out like shit. I tried doing my center bezel and HATED it, and ended up buying new vents also.

Oh well, theodditie bought my center bezel off me when someone broke into his car and fucked his shit up, and he repainted it and said it looks decent now.

welcome to the forum make yourself at home!

it's hard for me to suggest something without really knowing what you want. some want style, some want to follow trends, some want speed, some want sound....and some just want me to shut up :licker: it sounds to me like you want to start out with a little style...

clear corners, sidemarkers, lower springs (i don't like the ride on coilovers, but if it snows there you'll want them), rims, & window tint are always a good start. my best advice i give out is to make a list of parts you already know about...ones you now you want. start there. cross things off as you get them. chances are when you're done (or close to) with the first list....you'll be ready to start on the 2nd list...and so on

You can find clears on ebay sometime, other than that you outta luck for tails, projectors are only made for the crx( but can fit on hatchs, not sure about 4drs), and the DX intake probably wont do you any good at all other than looks and noise, 1hp at most, most likely not even that,

There are almost no aftermarket tails avail for the sedan, there are clears however, but they are hard to find and usually cost like $200

I hear the CRX projector headlights will fit a sedan. I personally want to do this mod, but I would like to get a new amp, alarm, and tint first.

DX intake will help your engine a bit, Makes it easier to get air.

I painted everything.
I'm going to have it done in vinyl soon. The paint is just to hard to keep clean.

Leigh have you ever used any cleaning products on your interior, other than soap and water??
that might be why it's chipping. I only use soap and water for mine. And when i clean it i take a really stiff bristle brush and scrub, and mine isnt chipping at all.
