What's Missing?

[bugboy32337]

This is the most MSM Si's that I've ever seen in one thread!!!!

I'd suggest 2 fewer doors and the Coupe wing for the trunk lid.

Just imagine the weight savings of removing two of the doors!
(If you removed the 2 front doors, it would help the weight balance, but you'd lose the camera in the passenger side mirror.)

All kidding aside, I think the high flow grill is a bit more aggressive (but I've heard some folks complain about poor fit).

Or, perhaps, some side skirts (HFP or aftermarket).

If you live on a dirt road, I'm not so sure about lowering it (unless it's a really well maintained dirt road) or the front lip (for the same reason).

Beautiful car ... I look forward to seeing what you decide on.

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.

touring headlights maybe the 2020 vents

im 41 and i dont want a harsh ride anymore. I just paid off my 2017 crv and have been going back n forth on a type r but know it will be more aggravation, your si checks the boxes of halfway fun ride ... incognito .

i did a few upgrades to my crv so im not in soccermom land anymore lol

I'm not sure you need a drop. I think anything less than a 2 finger gap is goofy looking on our cars. I agree with the stock rims comments. Go back to those, I think they look great/agressive. I also added 20mm spacers so they weren't so sunk in. Finally, maybe paint the calipers red.

Thanks for your feedback everyone. I just ordered an Eibach Pro-Kit. Will keep you posted.

As a 42 year old, I would just leave it the way it is. People who see it know it's not a regular Civic

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

Circling back around to this comment, my windows are as dark as allowed by NC law. Are you all using darker (illegal) tint?

Mine are illegal on the windshield (45%) and in the front (20%) for California.

Lip for sure and some led headlights, like everyone said pretty much haha maybe a different grill? It all makes a big difference.

Vegas...

While your car could use some minor mods here and there (personal preference), I don't think it looks as bad as you think it looks. I think your photography skill needs more work than the car. And personally, I like your wheels.

I took the liberty to just tweak the lighting a bit...

As far as mods, a slight drop and a decent front lip would work wonders.

Another little touch that might look good on your car. Gloss black door handle covers. Just added some today and they're nice:

^ Yeah, on that note, the photo you saw of mine was a raw picture to give it what it looks like untouched.

Then you can do stuff like this to your pics, give it that more aggressive grit:

I hand washed my car for the first time this year so I thought I'd give everyone an update. I took all of your suggestions to heart except the wheels (because I actually like them, dammit).
I'm still working on my photography.
