Can Someone Please Rate My Exterior, Tell Me What I Should Upgrade???

[cuba3377]

I want to up grade the exterior of my vehicle, i dont want a cliche car. But on the other hand, i dont want to over-do any aspect of the body. Any hints compliments, or ideas?

Car looks good except for that wing. I don't like them to begin with, but I think you could find something that would look better. Also them damn emblems need get shaved - all stickers removed unless your being paid/rewarded for having them. Possibly lower it slightly.


I saw a white teg with those tails, except it was painted white on the inside part around the lense- almost looked good.

I get alot of complains for that wing. but..... on the other hand, i dont like the shopping cart look with the alluminum racing wings though.
o and btw, u dont like the ghetto imitation sponsors???? most are kinda like a reverse sponser
i had to pay to get the stickers (ebay 9.99 6 pairs)

[JakeDrummer]

lose the wing. see if you can find the factory one and put it back on. the car looks good asides from that. I would sugjest lowering it too

[Integra4200]

yeah i agree with them the wing looks funny. but your right i hate the shopping cart look. i'd try and find some thing in between also shave the emblems.

i agree with everyone...get rid of the wing all together. why have a wing, when your car is front wheel drive?

Those tail lights are becoming more regular than stock ones. btw I love the color of your car. Contrary to the fwd/wing comments, they can still just plain look cool. While kinda ricey I dig the type r ones like in my sig.

A functional rear wing on a FWD will increase downforce on the rear, adding spring rate. It actually will increase (safer)oversteer in high speed corners.

Sorry but I personally like the wing. It's not the aluminum one. Who cares if the wing is functional or not. It just depends on what you want the car to look like. Alot of people on these forums think you should just keep the oem bumper and add a lip and the stock spoiler (if any). But the way I see it if you just add a lip and keep the stock spoiler...we have too much of a stock car. If you want a very different looking car from stock, good job. I love your car. Only thing I would change are the stickers. I'm not a fan of vinyls. I mean 'to each his own' but unless you are actually sponsored by those companies...I don't think you should. just my opinion.

First, I agree about the stickers, they need to go. That's kinda ricey anymore. About the wing, it IS better looking than those aluminum pofs. If you like it, keep it. It's YOUR car! Correct me on this somebody, but I never thought that those a/m fiberglass spoilers were that effective, anyway... But he's goin' for looks, not performance, it seems. As far as lowering, if you've got the cash (around $2500-$3000 installed) I'd go for airbags. This way you can adjust your ride to any height at any time. Personally, that's the ONLY way I'd go if I wanted to lower my car, 'specially with bodykits. Unless you're driving the same streets over and over, you never know when you might get to a shitty, pot-hole filled road, or a driveway or hill at a steep angle. Also, they're cheaper than hydraulics, and you don't have to worry about the lines busting and leaking hydraulic fluid over everything. Finally, those rear lights...I agree with the earlier post, you ARE seeing them more often than OEM. I'm a Honda guy, not a teg man, so I really don't know what other options there are for you, but I'm sure there's a ton of other a/m tails. Again, correct me if I'm wrong on this. Just my . - S

I like the car, the color is great. I like the wing, but not an your car, they look better on a bigger car, like a 4 door accord. I like big wings, but not tall ones. Maybe try looking for a wing that's shorter and more sleek looking. The other thing that I'll add is the wheels, they don't really jump out at me. Maybe one size bigger, something that stands out a little more. Have any more pictures of the car? It looks good though

[Solomon219]

Color is great. If you're keeping the graphics (NOT talking about the stickers) and you do upgrade to larger wheels, I'd say going with a white powdercoated set would look awesome AND different on your car. What do the rest of you think? I normally hate white rims, but I think this car can pull it off.

As an aside, how come you guys always suggest shaving the emblems? Is it to give it that "clean" look? A lot of people (ordinary, non-racers. And lets face it, they ARE ordinary) do not know what a car is UNLESS they see the emblem. I know several people like that. It's crazy to me, 'cause I've kept up with cars since I was a little kid, but...like I said, I'm not ordinary. Anyways, I just wanna give credit where credit is due, and let people SEE what a great car my 4th-gen Honda can be, and maybe even get people interested in buying their own. Whaddya think of that?

Thanks. -S

Loose the wing
Loose the stickers
Even loose that body kit - honestly dude, it looks terrible. It looks like the mold got caught in a metal bender, then they glassed over that. I would put the stock bumper back on and lower it.

Integras are damn good looking cars, they don't need body kits to look good. My younger brother has one. Most people just put them on b/c they want every one to know that they have one. But really everyone (people who aren't into cars) just looks at them and thinks "what the hell is wrong with that car?".

Not saying that this is you, but its generally what happens.

When you put a body kit on a car, it should look like it came that way. If it doesn't look like it came that way, then it obviously doesn't fit the car!

The invader kit, the shotgun kit, they are all the same. Totaly not clean. They look like an abomination of fiberglass.

If you do want a wing, then I go with a cleaner one. Hard curves simply just aren't asthetically pleasing. The human brain tends to be drawn to gradual flowing curves that take your eyes around the object, not to hard curves.
