Just got my car back from being paint. As you can see I just kept the car black, but while there I replaced the headlights, shaved all my emblems, did the DIY pre-97 lip on a 97+ trick (thanks Sc400on20s), and painted my TT wheels. My questions are as follows. Now that I have new headlights would getting them "clear bra-ed" protect against oxidation or could i just be save doing some waxing on them like once a week? Second now that i have the lip on up front Im not sure how I feel it flows with the rest of the 97+ sides and rear. I am thinking maybe I should go for the JIC sides and rear since they sit just a little lower. Im almost certain I could cover the cost of the sides and rear by selling my stock parts. Now, on to the pics:

I like how the lip lowers the front and makes it look taller, but I still don't like the way it squares the front end off. It needs to round out at the bottom rather than cut off.

I love the license plate though

The car is much nicer than the wheels are at this point.

does that mean you don't like color of the wheels?

Car looks great!

I actually prefer the look without the lip.. Perhaps when you get the JIC stuff put on it will settle better with me. IMO is all.

I think OLT is correct about the wheels also. A nice set of 19" CCWs would do nicely

haha i had a set of ssr sp-1s that i sold because the roads were i live "dont take too kindly to their type"

btw im still not sure how i feel yet about the whole lip thing. i definately like it but its like you said, i may need to see it with the jic sides and rear. im sure if i decided to ditch it, it wouldnt be hard to sell either.

Your car looks beautiful and i really really love the color and style of the wheels. very clean black sc!

boobstar

thanks insomniac!!! btw, you never got back to me about that radio kit your shop used.

insomniac

Oh, im sorry man.
They didn't actually use a kit because there isnt a kit for our car i believe.
They custom built a pocket under the dvd player, or atleast thats what they told me.

boobstar

ahhh ok, i was just wondering if maybe they used another kit and modified it or something. i think im going to go with an integra kit and put the integra push out cup holder under it. ill post pics when that happens. didnt you order that box too?

Your paint looks real good bro- Its looks kinda weird with the lip and no sides- but i really like the TT wheels- looks real good

boobstar

yeah i know, thats where im torn too? so realistically, keep the lip and go jic sides and rear? or lose the lip and just stay 97+ oem?
