its cool everyone calls them eks because thats how it is in japan and everyone wants to be "jdm" now it depends what you want to do with the car. my first mod if iwere you would be a nice set of coilovers lower it a little bit and get some better handling.

Its not that people wanna be JDM, its just that its easier to call your car that. Ive had people tell me about their "EJ's" and im here thinking theyre talking about a 6th gen, when its actually their 5th gen. If they wouldve said EG it wouldve been easier.

^^^ and from most of the threads ive read on here, when guys first get their car they focus on cleaning up the engine and the exterior, such as rims,lips and that type of thing.
