OP, no joke, I love fake wheels. If you can make em look good then rock em hard.

But your car is way too good for fake wheels. Get some real ones

Werd.. They're actually not even mine. My friend f'd up his car so I'm using them for now I'm trying to save up to get everthing I need before I install my JRSC. Most of my extra $ is going to that. And my house, wife and two kids!

Dang hatch looks sik bro. Fresh paint ftw. Hx wheels look better imo.

Supercharger should be a great addition to the hatch.

You have to swap out a harness. And there is one wire that you have to add but it isn't that hard. As you can tell in the picture, I had my whole interior stripped so it made it worth it. I'll give you one piece of advise though. If it isn't too much more to buy the parts from honda, do it.

Yeah, I don't have any body parts at all that aren't OEM. Including my bumpers, hood, fenders, lip and grill. The only thing that wasn't completely new were my fenders and CTR rear lip.

I forgot I had this thread but ran across it today. I still own the car (7 years later). It mostly just sits in my garage but it has gone through some major changes. It now has blue Recaro DC5 seats. Volk TE37 wheels and a nicely tuned GSR engine. Fully built making just over 500hp. It was dyno'd at 455 whp and I have since made a few small adjustments that have brought the power up a little bit.

This car is one that I hope to always have. It sits comfortably next to my new project. A 1991 Acura NSX. That car is at the same shop this was getting body work done and paint in the next few weeks. Anyway, I'm updating this as much for myself as for anyone else but feel free to comment. Good or bad.

Peace!

It's amazing that you still have the car and you're still working at it after all these years! It's a thing of beauty, congrats man! Keep up the good work, hope to see pics of the new project soon.
