Issues With the Economy and Cars

Well as the current economic crisis continues to deter me from expensive projects, I've found a cheaper alternative for the time being. Rather than dump 50k and then some into a completely scratch built car, I've decided to make some additions to my current vehicle.

If you don't know already know, my first and current car is a 1999 Acura Integra. Most car enthusiasts know what a fun car this is to drive. It may be just the SE model, but it's still got the handling of the Type R. I've decided to start by purchasing a good set of 16"x7" Rota Torques with a set of Yokohama Paradas. The new wheels and rubber should make driving what I have much more fun especially in the corners. I've also been sourcing out a type R style spoiler, and a lip for the front. The car is silver and it should look good with Gunnmetal on the wheels, a black spoiler and a black seibon style front lip.

I'll post some pics once I've received the parts and installed them. My next holiday isn't till the 9th of February, so till then.
