Well we dont know what car you drive but
1. I can tell you 99% of people on here support lips. kits are over
4. you have a header. not headers
7. set a good suspension and lower it, coilovers are very nice to have
8. rims

 

[natejdm]

i have 18 inch rims ill get pics

 

[natejdm]

 

[TigBitties]

oh god, get rid of them asap

 

[natejdm]

and get what i have no idea

 

[TigBitties]

16's. 18s do not belong on your car at all. way to big

 

[natejdm]

ummm is there a price range you could give me how much u think mine are worth first offer i had was 365

 

[TigBitties]

365 isnt bad. idk the condition of your rims and tires though, cant see them that well. but you can also look into trading rims on craigslist

 

[natejdm]

name brand please how much it cost to lower sry about the ?s

 

[natejdm]

hx rims painted white with honda center caps ?

 

[TigBitties]

um as for name brand, i wouldnt really base it off that, i would just go by what look you like. If you like how your current rims look, stick with them. its your car, YOU have to like it.

To lower a car correctly, it isnt cheap by any means. depending on how much you drop it, your looking at new struts, springs, and an alignment

i like hx's and have them as my winter wheels. they are 14s. its really up to you though, you need to figure out what you like. look around at other cars on here, other sites, and google image

 

[mc360]

well if you can trade the wheels for something smaller like 15 or 16 then do it.the first thing i would save for is some lowering springs or coilovers. even if you have steelies they look good when your car is slammed. a cheap easy mod i would recommend would be to do the diy black housing headlights

You need to get some better pictures of your car. Definitely get rid of those 18" wheels and go with some 15's or 16's. Stay away from the body kit because people do not use them that much anymore and only a select few look good. With that said go with a lip kit, the most popular is the type-r or si kit and the mugen kit. Also look into a type-r front grill and some window visors, both of those of inexpensive mods that will make a decent difference in appearance. Don't just slap on an exhaust and a header right away, modify the appearance more before you do that. Air intake is always a good beginning mod.
