My next upgrade will be a head unit I hope in the month. Then I have to think of what to get next. I am thinking maybe carbon fiber dash kit, air intake, or just getting my 17" rims.

Just had to share this Honda it my my 88 that I use for racing at Lake Genva WI. The car was find except for a small ding in the front fender were it it the wall before. Then I did a upgrade to it by hitting the wall at about 30MPH and the side was looking good till I was scraping by a car to get by him. Yea the rear quarter is messed up to my me when I car got into my rear end. It is all good and fun racing.

Yea those were put on by the dealer and I am the same I do not know if I want to keep them on or not. All I know up by me is that there are so many new houses going up that in parking lots it is easy to get your door dinged because so many of the stores did not make enough room in the parking lots for all these new customers. With my Grand AM my side moldings took about 6-5 good hits a year that caused me to have to do some buff out work in the molding so that is why I am having a hard time getting my self to pull it off. If they had not installed it before I had bought the car I would not have had it put on but it was part of the car on the lot.

I have to say if I get a door ding or two and the molding is doing nothing to help I am going to take them off right away, but I hope I do not have to get a door ding or two to make that dissision.

I am 23. If you ever see a silver EP being washed on 31 by the Merlins on a Sunday morning that is me. For your girl freind she is at my old School. I graduated in 98 from there. I bet if you are seing a silver EP it has to be me because the only other one that I have seen was in Crystal Lake and it was bought from Motor Works. I got my EP at the Honda Dealer on 31 in Crystal Lake. Are you driving your EP all the time, because I have not seen anouther one except for the EP from Motor Works and it still had temp plates about a week ago when I saw it.

Your front windows look a LOT lighter than the rear. I'm a fan of the "even" tint look. The moldings really take away from the clean look of the car too. Other than that....yep it's another silver ep :D
Make sure save up enough to drop it when you get your 17's too. Makes a drastic differerence.

In IL they suck and the sides are done to the max that IL allows for the side front window tints. I would love to have all fully tinted windows but the police out here will pull you over for it way to easly just to bug you. When I got the car the dealer all ready had the window tinting done and when I looked at the work order they have them done to the max of IL were I will not get pulled over by someone who has nothing better to do but that.

yea, the police are usually really bad. I have a 1997 Mitusubishi Eclipse that u may have seen driving around. Its white with cleartailights(NOT ALTEZZA"S, CLEAR!!..lol), Exhaust, intake, header, blue stripe going across windshield that says ECLIPSE. Hyperwhite bulbs and all that stuff. My girlfriend is usually driving that. Well, anywayz that has complete Limo Tint all around. I had it like that for over a year and NEVER was pulled over for it. I know friends who have 10% and they get pulled over ALL the time. The police are really wierd sometimes.

I think i might have seen your car on the road. I have to say though if you have the 3.0 watch for getting your heads redone at about 80,000 miles because they were bad for having leaky valve steam seals. If you ever see a Chrysler and Dodge mini-van with blue smoke coming out when getting on the gas 9.98 times out of 10 it has the Mish 3.0 in it.
