huge improvement. Good job man. The red weatherstripping on the lip kit is the kicker for me on the ricer stage lol

I myself am still rocking powder coated stockies lol... soon to change though.

lookin forward to some more pics of the new and improved look.

what seats are those by the way?

The seats are S2000 Seats. They hug me well, and I get no back pain on long drives

Your idea of "ricer" wasn't THAT bad, but the red line on the stockies and the red weather stripping on top of the crappy hood pins and the sh!tty silver grill did made it look terrible.

I agree with the others too, take the tC badging off the sides. It's bad taste.

love the seat install. I might be hittin you up for more info at some point...

aslong as everyone is juming on your sh*t for you to ditch the tC emblem, I also just noticed what appears to be a small red TRD sticker on your side skirt... I'd lose that too lol

you could throw the tC emblem on the front grille if you really want to have it somewhere, I've always thought that looked pretty good

How many damn tC emblems do you need? Other than that the car looks OK..
But come on man, clean = mean. Don't plaster stickers/decals/emblems all over stuff.

i wouldnt say that a carbon fiber hood makes it ricey, maybe those hoodpins did but overall it looks a lot better

I like the hood pins actually. They're not as douchey as brand stickers all over the car. Maybe the Seibon stickers on the hood were a bad idea but I like the hood pins. The red pin stripe on the front didn't really make sense to me but also didn't make me think "ricer".

When I think ricer I think of stickers ALL over the car, gigantic wing, underglow, and a melon canon to back it all up. Yours was pretty modest in comparison.

The only way I would consider a CF Hood "ricey" would be if it didn't offer a significant weight savings, which is the whole idea behind them.
The last company I called about a CF hood had never actually weighed their xB2 CF Hood before I asked them to.

Haha, it weighed nearly as much as my OEM one.looks good, I'm digging the S2k seats!
