Hey guys i have some questions and i need your opinions (im saying in advance... sorry for grammer and misspelling im sick and dont feel like stressing my brain)!

Ok i have a 2000 civic si and and 16 with no job so money is scarse. and i have ideas.

Heres my car.






(YOU WILL NOTICE THE PAINT CHIPS IN THE FIRST COUPLE OF PICTURES!! THEY ARE ALL FIXED as seen in the last one!! i did it myself)

Ok now that youve seen it...

I have problems that i dont like with it.

1.) FENDERS- I do not like them they were on the car when i bought it. SO should i:
A: Paint the vents back or blue so they dont "stick out" as much (REMEMBER I DONT HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO BUY OEMS AND MATCH PAINT)
B: Leave it the way they are, it looks fine as a temp
C: Your idea... let me know.

2.) WHEELS- They are 2000 Si wheels and yet again... they were painted black when i got them. Now i was thinking:

A: Striped the paint off, sand them down and repaint them Silver
B: Strip the paint off, sand them down and repaint them gloss black
C: Your idea here
(This is a temporary because i dont have money for the rims i want.)

3.) HOOD- The clearcoat on the CF is totally becoming ruined... it makes it look like poo... i was thinking:

A: DO EVERYTHING MYSELF- Wetsand it down... buy clearcoat and do it myself *WILL NEED HELP*
B: Bring it to a shop. Have themreclearcoat it
C: Bring it to a shop. have them sand it down and paint to match
D: Your idea here

(i am not buying a new hood yet i want a new cf one)

thats all for now... thanx for your advice

Dude- I think your car is sick - just take care of the hood by yourself (I'm big on DIY!) and I agree... you gotta do something about the fender vents - I think black would be sweet! I like the wheels and would not do a thing to them. Nice car man.

for the fender are they just stick on's? if there is no way then i would say color match them. the rims looks fine, i like them. as for the hood, either diy or have the pro's give it a clear coat. car looks sick

I would keep the wheels as they are.
The fender I would also leave it alone. Seems fine to me.
As for the hood, DIY and buy the clearcoat.
It'll save you $$ and give you experience inc ase you want to do it on the same car or a different car.

those fenders are pretty gross lol but the rest of the car looks sick! i like the wheels a lot but either way you go with them will look awesome!
