1 rim finished bead blast - ready for primer and paint.
Looking for a set of Acura center caps for these rims, anyone have a set?

Umm.....because I didn't like the stock look of the center console.....N that one little thing doesn't make it rice..The dumb body kit does, and thats coming off soon..

Plan on it..fake vents on the fenders will be fiberglassed over in the next week..bumper will be stock when I get more money....n its better than a lot of other cars.......I think the only reason the guy put the body kit on is because he was an imbred dumbass who didn't know anything.


Like I said it's going to be a slow build. I am a senior in highschool and I have another project too.

Lol, thanks man. I wanted something different but not too "out there" with details.

Some friends told me to paint the whole thing lime green, or hot pink and electric blue..Didn't like either, so going with matte black with some lime green.

well if you say so......Thats like saying someone with 17" or 18" rims on their honda is rice. And besides after the car is done and the outside is back to stock not many people are going to be looking at that 1 piece man. They'll be looking at the RHD conversion n wire tuck. SRY it's not YOUR taste. I like being a little different.

Polish which set of rims?

& whats so bad about the console? Is it because the cd player sits crooked? because that I might change and Im thinking about taking the acura symbol out before I wrap it in leather, depending on what people don't like about it.

But the console was messed up when I got it and I fiberglassed it while on a job shadow at a audio, tint, custom fab shop. A lot of people liked the center console, guess it depends on what ya wanna see done, performance or looks. It was free so it didnt bother me.

Got almost the whole car sanded with 80 grit, gonna try and get the 400 grit done this week.

45 minutes a day sucks for working on a car.
