put the mugen logo on the mugen grill! lol I seen a few without out and it looks wierd IMO with it just blank there, or shave it down flush, that would look nice i think.

i would personally:

- swap grill for a type r style grill in black
- ditch the eye lids
- 96-98 jdm ctr lip painted black.

foglights, paint match the side strips, colour match mirrors (or get aftermarket smaller ones), + everything everyone else said

I'd repaint the hood, grill, and all the moldings to the original silver colour. Get rid of those stupid lens lids. Buy some used but nice 15" rims from the FS section, and maybe some aftermarket springs to give the car a lower stance and then you have it. I wouldn't go any further than that. It'll just be too ricey. What ever you do, don't put a fart can on it.

Get rid of those ricey eye lid covers!
Go get some suspension for your car, then a sweet set of rims ,16" or under.
Derinetly put the stock front grill back on.
And paint match the side mouldings back to silver,and the hood or go CF!
Then rock the stock!!!!!!!!

3. change the grill to type r
4.add some fog lights
5.put on some coils and lower it
6. put on rims
7.paint the side mouldings and mirrow to match
8.add a lip, type r or mugen
9. tint the windows
10. do only what you want to you car

Keep the headlights stock. I got projectors now and I really want to go back to stock, but all the wirings switched over to projectors make it a bit hard to go back.

Change the grill, drop the SOB, remove the eyelids, get some nice wheels.
