Talking going simple need some suggestions

sup peoples I have decided i'm not going to be going show Iwould rather go simple, JDM or whatever, the reason I changed my mind cuz I just got my JDM d15b v-tec-e motor and I would like to do some work to it, I know its not the fastest motor but it suits me plenty, just want some suggestion on what I could get or do with my EG hatch, I will be cutting off the black widow skirts some spring.

Simple like my car? I am prolly gunna loose the headlights and clear corners soon too. Looks pretty much stock until you open the hood or take a look at the suspension. And the best part is it still kinda looks stock when you open the hood because you can't see any of the mods inside the engine.

thats a secret only a few people on here know....lol
2nd gen b16a
port 'n' polish, 3 angle valve job, milled .030", crane stg 2 cams, crane dual valve springs, ti retainers, ferria valve locks, new valve seals, adjustable cam gears, exedy clutch, AEBS intake manifold, 64mm throttle body, SRI, dc 4-1 to 2.25" SS exhaust....soon to be vibrant j-spec 4-2-1 to 2.5" high flow cat and 2.5" SS exhaust, as soon as i save up a little more for the exhaust i am puttin my new header on. But it won't fit now b/c its got a 2.5" collector and that won't fit in my stock cat. Tokico springs and illumina's, suspension techniques sway bars, strut tower braces front and rear.
Doesn't look like all of this stuff is done to this car though does it?

There's nothing wrong with stock oem stuff. But IMO I think every car looks better when lowered... with nice wheels that match the car.

I agree thats why my car looks like

Lowered about 1.75" and SIR's. Other aftermarket rims are too heavy.

Seriously, just basically dont put anything on the car that wasnt ment to be there, take the back lip off, there was no 92-95 type r, just go with a simple front lip like the coupe lip or the actual 92-95 mugen, other then that the way i see it is you should modify your car with it's time frame, no spaceship bodykit's on a car from 92, put parts on the car from that time, they suit it alot better , just keep it clean on the outside with no rust and maybe a few apperence mods, and lot's of go.
