Need some feedback peoples..

[DJ metadelic]

ok so accordkid16 has his paint thread, thus, i need some feedback on my car.

There's a billion things a-runnin' through my brainie in terms of where i want to go with the coupe next.

basically, i think i'll start on suspension soon, but i already have that figured out, i'm going to spring for the function&form's full coil kit--now just gotta save

in terms of aesthetics, i don't know which direction to go next...i thought about black corner lights with the clear lenses, since the ones i diy'd are not cutting it. literally, you can't see the blinker even barely at night so i gotta fix that. just like dang experienced with his car, when i had my old CB back in the day i hit a nice big ice chunk in the road with my car and it completely desimated my knock off mugen lip. so if i got another lip, it wouldn't be a knock off one this time, and i don't want to spend $180 on a cf lip that i could potentially break. So the lip would have to wait til summer anyway.
i think i'm still going to go with HID's but 6k this time. I dont like the 8k's...

Anyway doods and gals thanks in advance--let me know what you thinki have no idea where i'm gonna go with motor stuff either. F22B? but then i've heard mixed things. H23A? nah but if i do that i might as well go with H22 vtec..

i'll take any suggestions into consideration. i'm mainly talking exterior stuff for right now. here's the latest pics of the car...i'm picking up a sedan seattle silver trunk lid this coming weekend too so that's the first thing.

yeah i know... damn new england. it's just surface rust-encrusted hardware. but it's everywhere. it'll be one of the first things i clean up once warmer weather comes

i'm still trying to decide which direction to take the damn thing though....

[H22Artman]

black/yellowhouse the headlamps.
HIDs.
amber corners and bumper lights.
re-do the grill to the common DIY style, or stock.
rear fog light.
sidemarkers.
stock, red/clear, or DIY all red tails.

just ideas taken from whats done to my car.
hope it gives you something to work with

DJ Metadelic, don't you just hate our marroon interior?! Ugh I hate mine so much. Sometimes I would like to do like a tan conversion or something. I hate marroon!!!!!! If I do a conversion I'm going to burn it! Haha. Or just put the marroon up for sale.

I've heard of alot of members that hate/don't like the maroon interior...what's wrong with it?

[H22Artman]

Since your asking for advice ill give you mine

For the love of god get rid of the blacked out corners and tail lights. All they do is impede the use of the lights. Do a sedan trunk swap and get red /clears and replace the corner lights with amber / clear. I would also aim for a more black grill. Im not too big of a fan of white wheels but bronze would look nice with your color. Now this is strictly my personal prefrence but i love OEM spoilers on coupes.

Anyways this is just my opinion im not trying to put you down or anything

Oh no man totally, I see where you're coming from and I appreciate it. Yes, the lights are gonna go. They gotta go. I got shit from the windsor county sheriff who was hangin out while I got gas the other day. He was like "you know Noah, I could give you a fix it ticket if I was to pull you over for those...they must go". I nodded my head and agreed. They look decent, but....The interior is OKAY, but it's just that...it's "Meh"

In terms of the wheels, I thought about black first before I did them white. I like the way they look, but you're right bronze would look nice I will look into that. Do you know of any pics of seattle silver's with bronze stockers?

I too, love the OEM wings. On any CB really. I think I'll leave the grill though

Thanks to everyone for your input. I really do appreciate it. I've been on the fence lately with what I want to do, there's some stuff that I MUST do, then stuff that I just plain want.

I'm on an axle back setup with 2.25" piping right now. Had my old boss fab it together. My current mini tax return list is: CATBACK, HID's 6,000K (I have an 8k kit and hate it), yellow 9005 hi beam halogens, amber corners with the reflector from jdmcarboy.com, and remove the paint from tails

Thanks again guys but add more comments/input bad or good about the car, I don't mind at all. I'm trying to do things the way I like them sure, but sometimes my view on what looks nice has been askew in the past

finally.
a guy that can ask for, and receive criticism from members without acting like a total bitch.

i like you already DJ.
i see you lasting a long while here.

i would haunt the DIYs for stuff you can do on your own. a lot of the visual upgrades can be done in a relatively short amount of time, so as not to affect your downtime if your CB is a DD.
