You don't have to buy expensive rims to have nice ones. You could buy used.

Why can't you lower it?

I always liked the clean look of a debadged car... you could try that.

Keyed? Diu.... that suck **** yo! Hope you can buff it out bro.

Your car is really clean man, I like it. If you are tight on budget, buy a used lip, take out the hub cap and clean the steelies. Paint them black if they are rusted.

That's all I can think of

Hmmm...., not much you can really do to improve the looks of your car without having it dropped. Maybe a fr & rr lip, side skirts and OEM fogs would make it look better. You could also slap on a Body kit, but that would look like *** if the car isn't lowered. If your parents won't let you drop the car, just keep BEGGING!

u can also do the interior yourself
not expensive.. just takes time and patience

about the scratch u should be able to buff it down.. itll be less visible
but in time and car washes itll be back..

if u get rims get nice big ones to fill the wheel gap, wont look as good but u wont have wheel gap. Also Lips are nasty unpainted, unless they come in black abs, and usually the rears dont, ppl dont usually put on black unpainted abs on the rear. Forr now, I guess paint your hubcaps/take them off, get some nice 17's I guess to fill wheel gap.
and most importantly before you do any of this
BEG to LOWER the car, get coilovers and tell your parents that in winter you will raise it up to stock height. If your budget is tight and u want adjustability get cheap coilover sleeves, or if you have money get a nice full coilover system (shocks+ adjustable springs) wither way u get adjustability but with the true coilovers u get a way better ride, you can get tints if you like tints but whatever you like go 4 it

Hope I helped

take off ur hubcaps
put the 99/00 hubcaps on they look better.
then put a front and rear TYPE R lip on and paint them flat black or get the ones that are flat black (which is near perfect fit) from autobas.
that way the mouldings n **** will match nicely wit ur lip.
then loose the clear corners put the jdm ones on they suit ur car way better.
put some black housin dual angel eye projectors on. this will match wit the rest of the theme on ur car and ur set.


amber corners NEW : 30
projecotrs NEW: 250
type r lip front NEW : 120
type r rear lip NEW : 120

satisfaction of u doin the install ur self and havin a STOCK STYLE MODDED CAR look for a really really cheap price PRICELESS

Note: NOTHING can help your car w/o first doing the basics like rims/susp work. Anything else you do will make it look like you are broke or started a project and can't finish it since you have the little $$ items, but skimped on the big $$ items. If you have any money at all, spend it on maintaining the car and keeping it rust free and clean. Nothing I like to see more these days than a clean stock car a few years old that looks like it just came out of the showroom.
