What's Missing?

[Vegas Viking]

Hey Folks,

I've made a few cosmetic mods to my car, but it still doesn't have that "aggressive" look I was hoping for. To me it just looks like a commuter car with aftermarket wheels.

What do you recommend? Lowering springs? Larger tires? Keep in mind I'll soon be 47 years old, so I want "conservatively aggressive" if there is such a thing.

P.S. I know I need a carwash.

I'd say a 1" drop and front lip would round it out nicely. Good looking car.

Yea I think the stance needs a little adjustment, I like the exhaust tip I’d like to do something like that to mine to replace the hdmi port.

That's an AWE touring exhaust. I love it and thanks for the suggestion.

Front lip/spoiler would look good

Eibach pro kits lower it about an inch that might be the perfect amount of drop for you. & a somewhat aggressive lip would complete the look ? love the car

I'd just blackout the wheels and emblems.
Done.

I think changing out the stock wheels for the ones that you have was a big thing that reduced aggression.

It looks like your windows are already tinted, but I just wanted to mention that once I tinted mine I knew that was the cherry on top for me and my Iris.

I also have their Touring LED headlights. I don't think it made it more "aggressive," but rather more "luxurious." Even still, I think it complemented the rest of the car very well.

Anyway, as I said, I'm looking back at the wheels and tinting, and I think those are the two big ones for me.

Thanks for your perspective. The wheels (Avid.1 AV20s) were more of a weight reduction mod, but your point is well taken. I live on a dirt road and didn't want the hassle of keeping black wheels clean.

What size wheels are those? IMO I think Muffin has a point. For my own MSM sedan I want a little bit of poke and wider tires than stock.

Bayson R makes a good looking and fitting lip for these cars at a relatively inexpensive cost

The Pro Civic grille is a a nice addition as well. I was going to say Unity Performance Side Marker Lights, but it seems you're already covered on that!

I think you need a drop! The sedan looks real good with ~1" drop all around. And even better when combined with aftermarket wheels!

A lot of members here go with the Eibach Pro Kit, but I went with Ktuned.

Personally I'm not a fan of all these vaguely CTR-style front lips with winglets on the sides but other suggestions....

Mesh grille like ProCivic
Remove the mud flaps
Moderate lowering springs - Eibach Pro-Kit, Whiteline, Swift, Tein
Camber kits with not too much negative camber, but at least a little bit like -1.25 or so
Tint the white part of your taillights

a lip and yellow fog light covers. simple, clean and effective as far a the aesthetic you're going for. also agree with everyone who said a mild drop.
