More pics once I unload it. Interior is pretty good, just needs a good cleaning. Only thing that needs to be replaced is the door panel inserts. They are faded and discolored beyond repair. Other than that, no rips or tears. Its in remarkably good shape. Once I install a set of one piece headlights and a 92-93 front bumper, the car will get a bit o' body work and some fresh new oem code white paint. After the swap in two weeks, I will install my new rims and steering wheel. I hope to have the car "show ready" in time for IA in ATL in November. Anywho, time for ideas and criticism. Fire away!
edit - forgot to mention Brembo rotors and hawk pads.... and all 4 oem mud flaps!!!!!!!!!

That is a good question sir funk. Any input? I dont wanna stray from oem. This is my #2 ultimate honda (behind a del sol). I love it for a reason. Honda did it just right. But... white trim will make the oem mudflaps "pop" being the only black pieces on the car. I am torn. More opinions and insight will def help.

I would probably paint it and take the risk. With the right wheels though, either could look good. Also, your door handles and mirrors are already white, so there isnt that much to paint. I can respect a purely stock car too though.

Ya know, if i hate it, i can always yoke the trim off and repaint it black. Once the one piece headlights are in, i think the painted trim will look nice.
