I think it looks cool. It kind of looks like the one used by other compact manufacturers like Mazda. But that's even more cool, 'cause if you can make your car look new with the hood and headlights, it just goes to show how far behind Mazda & company really are. The rear end of my '92 civic looks almost identical to Mazda's compact hatch rear-end. You see? Everybody wants to copy Honda. To me, your hood and headlights make a statement that even though you drive an older car, Mazda & company have old designs on their newer cars. It makes others think, hmmm I could've bought a Honda....
