    lol i kinda agree w/ QD...KINDA because i'd still lower it, but i wouldnt bother with a fresh paint or auto to manual conversion. should have just bought one w/ manual and not ruin a nice car like this doing a conversion..

    a nice drop and some clean wheels and i'd do a tint too, because i hate people looking at me. call it a day pretty much

    I will not be lowering this car or altering its performance in any way whatsoever.

    I understand your point in rather buying a manual one but the way things are now it was nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find a coupe in this condition this well maintained in a 5 speed version.. sadly. Fresh paint will only restore this car to its original glory, it has a slightly faded hood and fender... fresh white paint will do this thing no harm

    25% is getting to the point of looking ghetto. I'd just run 35% personally and throw a sun visor up when parked to make it darker/harder to see in. Couldn't complain about any of your other plans though. Not sure why sammich thinks an auto to manual swap "ruins" a car.

    probably because 90% of the people that do auto to manual do a hack ass job and looks like/performs like shit LOL. I believe I have enough experience to make this swap as clean as possible

    nope. oem 14" steelies on EX caps are just fine for me... keeps the originality of the car (aside from the other Honda optional components that will be added to the car later down the road)
