i believe stock body w/ a nice paint job (no baby blue or gay shit like that) lowered but not dropped to uslessness, and a shit load of engine work is best. i'd rather see a JDM body kit on a car than a big ass shogun body kit. i also like my car, $500 body w/ faded paint, dents, and steelies but a bad ass engine build. no one ever suspects the beater CRX haha.

Totally agree with MattC.

Well Kirk I see you finally broke down and got your kit. Let me see:
Dave H manifold and DP
PTE57 turbo(I think)
50lbs injectors
turbo timer
BOV
S-afc

I don't see a VPC in your trunk of goodies or a thicker headgasket...
What year engine did Jim put in your car.
Never mind I'll just give you a call tomorrow.

Amen. You have hit upon my motto when it comes to looks. Well, my car isn't actually fast as of yet, but I don't want attention, period. When it's faster, the same thing will apply.

When I 1st came down here last year I would always see the cars with stickers and big wings on the side of the road with the cops behind them.
Guess most finally woke up and ditched all the attention grabbing stuff.

Don't you have a big wing on the back of your Si? Just curious. IMHO 99.9 percent of the cars built look better w/o wings or spoilers from the aftermarket.

I do have a wing on it. IMO it flows w/ my car and it's not as big as you think it is. Yes, I do like wingless cars (well, most of them), but in this case this wing did not cost me a penny. Besides, all of my friends approved it (they are the biggest rice haters you will ever meet). I do not consider my car ricey. I just added couple of touches to it. Personalized it just a little. But thanks for you comment.
Mr White you got The Cleanest accord I have ever seen in my entire life. Props.
