Getting rid of the stickers would be the first thing i do. Looks like whoever you bought it from went into a JDM Honda store and just bought everything he could get.
Not the biggest fan of the hood either, just has too many vents in it. You have any more pics? cant see much of the car in that one picture. But looks like you need new wheels and a front bumper too. Personally i'd take care of all that first before going with a TT.

this will probably fall on deaf ears, you're probably of age where herrafrush is sooo cooooo.

if you got rid of all of the stickers, and I mean all of them, and got some tasteful fitting wheels and a decent front bumper it could look OK. the hood is super busy, if you removed the stickers it wouldn't look too out of place.

don't use the term hellaflush - get away from the trendy bs. it's good to get wheels with the right offset, and it's good to be lowered (to a point), but don't be one of those clowns with stretched tires and too much camber. make your car functional and clean and people will drool over it. make it herrafrush and you might impress high schoolers.

the first one is borderline acceptable, the 2nd one is an abortion.

it's your car though, do whatever you like.

I think the previous beat the **** out of that car, neglected it on maintenance, and stuck the new owner holding to repair bill.

Yea, stickers gotta go. Way too busy. Just looks rice with them all over the place, heh is that a band-aid sticker?
I agree though, wheels and bumper after stickers, still not a fan of the hood, but it is your car.

Get a stock hood, remove stickers, and get new wheels/tires.

Do that before anything else.

to answer your question, i think i looks horrible. lose the stickers, and keep the look clean.
