61981, To make a Sleeper.... Or All Out Show Car?
Posted by EclipseTenzoR, Nov-15-03 11:26 AM
Should I make my car a sleeper with the turbo wing and some tints... or should I do a nice carbon fiber wing with hood.. some tints.. lowering, and rims.

What do you guys think?:shrug

personally... id go w/ no wing (or stock spoiler), tint, then lowering. spend the rest on performence. that will still give you a sleeper look, but the car will look much cleaner and sleeker than stock.

Blitz body kit with some coil overs on a 4" drop and some Phat Motegi MR7's

The ultimate sleeper :bowdown

leave it the way it is and use that money toward a turbo kit imo.

stock 3piece spoiler (the little one), tints, and lightweight wheels (17s) is what i would go for. so far i've got 2 out of 3. i'm definitely a sleeper person (to an extent). i like lowered suspension and loud exhausts and stuff, but crazy wings and body kits aren't me. on my new exhaust system (the current custom one installed by previous owner is loud as hell but fucking sucks) is actually gonna be quieter than my current cuz it's gonna be smaller (2.5") piping and a resonator. but still no cats.

another thing about "show cars" is that you have to keep it impeccably clean. it's like you can't even drive it basically, because when it comes under scrutiny everything looks bad, especially if it's been driven. i was waxing my car today after getting it back from paint in the body shop and i was noticing slight imperfections and things that hadn't even crossed my mind until now while i was going over every inch of my car washing/waxing it. in just the week of barely driving it since i got it back, i've got a few scratches on my door and quarter panel, by some asshole. who knows. i'm just kinda pissed about it.

make it look nice on the outside but keep it stock for the most part. like me, im puttin a 97 front on my 96 gs, projectors, tails, and droppin it 2" and leaving stock rims. already tinted dark as i can go. i hate my 3 piece spoiler tho =\. id get a body kit but i just dont want to fool with the hassle. i like how they look and unfortantly thats what most people notice and care about but im still keeping mine stock. it looks fine stock tho, its a sports car, civics have to buy kits, we dont :thumbsup , which is a major plus.
