paint it a garish yellow or purple
add a 5 foot wing on the back
cut the springs to about half the size they are now
paint one or more of the body panels primer grey
i think that should cover it, if you want to look like a street racer.
*please note that none of these mods are recommended by anyone in this club, and in some instances, can and will cause harm to your car.
** also please note that none of these mods are performance related [well, some of them will decrease performance], but you asked for "street racer" looks, not performance. most street racer looks have absolutely nothing to do with performance.

trade it for a base model civic. then perform the afformentioned modifcations.
I'd cut the springs and get some SSE/SSEi body cladding for it, 20" racing wheels, at least a double layer wing..go for something carbon fiber if you can.
clear corners

Your really not going to get anywhere close to a 'street racing car' with a bonneville.
And racing buckets won't match anything in the interior.
You could lower it to have a more aggressive stance, get clear corners, tint the tails etc though.
Please put your year and trim level in your signature.

Please don't turn your car into wheat.
Can you tell us what model you have? SE? SLE? SSEi? whatizit?
How about we help you turn that thing into more of a rice killer than it already is, and you go SLEEPER mode?

Sell Bonneville to member cheap.
Buy stupid looking Honda Civic.
Screw up said Civic with wings, spoilers, neon, garish gauges, A pillar gauges, woofers bigger than the sun, black out lights, whited out lights, candles for lights, whatever floats your boat, but don't do it to a Bonneville. Not only is it a cardinal sin but it won't look right.
