Hello! I'm new here, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I have a 98 Hatch DX and she's a cutie. My BF and I had to rip out the interior this weekend because the rear light gaskets were leaking so my poor car had molded. We got all the mold out and she's actually cleaner than the day I got 'er, so that's good!
I know the rules by now, so I attached some pics. I'm not sure how/if they're gonna show up but they're there. I'm aware the rims need to be cleaned; they came to me that way and I haven't had the time, unfortunately.
I'm hoping to increase the power a little bit (not too much or I'd be pulled over for speed), do a fresh coat of red, get a 20%-ish window tint, and have a black interior with red accents. I haven't given much thought to any exterior additions but HIDs and fog lights are on my radar. My only problems right now are time and money. I'm a college student (WWU) and this is my only car so I can't have her in the shop for long periods of time or for expensive operations. I'm going to have to stick with a few facelifts for now...

IM new to but Ive been a mechanic for five years now almost 6. Always give the car lungs first (Air intake and catback exhaust). These shouldnt take more than a few hours to install and are perfect for your setup.

You should start a project thread in the project section and give us an overview of where the car is and what you want to look at in the future. Ask some specific questions and people will offer opinions.
