Stripes,flames whatever floats YOUR boat!
the haters! I give you credit for having big balls! 

I like it for originality, and if done a monte carlo blue with white stripes, then i think a lot more people would like it here....
But here's a few things that I think could help possibly:
1. Honda Emblem, paint it black maybe instead of the chrome for contrast.
2. LOWER THE CAR. Everyone hates cars that have aggresive paint/body work on stock ride height/stock wheels. It looks pathetic then. You need to dump this car to an aggresive ride height.
3. Rims, you said you'd like the LE37's, but get them in the new Gloss Black color with polished lip, now that could get it start looking hot...
4. Once its lowered and has nice wheels on it, yellow inserts in the seats for the interior to be accented black/yellow (just slight, not overboard)
5. Once the outside looks accomplished, turbo or FI and no one will give you any crap at all... you could paint it puke olive green and still get props then

I actually kinda like it
I think it looks mucher better than half of those JDM kits out there 
I'd like to see what 2 Monte Carlo blueish stripes would look like. I think that might look hawt

I comend you for going about this in the correct fasion, meaning having a profesional paint the stripes on the car...Honestly I think the front end doesnt look right with the stipes going down it, but if you like it then that's all that really matters anyways. I would like to see the updated pics with the hardtop and blacked out windows (ill be tinting my car 5% in the next month or so) ...you get a
for not throwing some plastic stipes down the center.
Have a spa yellow 1999 jdm model imported into New Zealand and have wondered if stripes would look good. Glad to see someone has tried it and done it properly. Not quite sure the black bumble bee look works for me (maybe silver stripes would).
Anyway it makes for an original car and if you love it thats great.

Thanks for the comments guys. Sorry I've been lazy about getting updated pics up. It's been raining here for the past few weeks so I really haven't had a chance. I'll see about getting some this evening if it's still sunny and put them up later tonight in a new thread.
