tell me about it. i talked to wryan at vip about why he doesn't stock i <3 my ef stickers n he said that people hardly build ef's any more... i'm like wut?? i guess, like da's, ef's must be the black sheep of the groupe, although i never stop thinking of new mods for my car. perhaps its the cable trans and mpfi swap that people are scared of? idk. although it seems most people don't go much past big rims, loud subs, fart can on stock piping and filter crammed onto the dpfi for efs... atleast all the ones i've seen.

i'd love to see an affordable aftermarket foglight kit, window visor kit, lip kit, bra, and a carbon fiber wing for our cars. basically more of the aftermarket support that eg's get. i don't really like eg's though, that's why i rock an ed. oh well........

LOL yeah most people that own ef's,are DIY-ers and don't wanna pay a shop tons of money for something simple.The majority of my friends that own honda's pay a shop to do the work.I'm like meh,I rather put that money towards something else and also parts are harder to find than EG's and EK's.

I also would like the market for the EF model to be bigger like the EG's and EK's,The ricey Honda's I've seen around my area is the guy down the street that I sold my white crx that got stripped by theives,other than that.I've seen some pretty clean ones.Not as clean as mine though lol

i think the cleanest ef i've seen around here is actually my friends's mom's 91 white auto dx hatch. other than putting some cheap aftermarket gsr blade look alike 15's on it it is bone stock and well taken care of. but yours is hella clean.

so i've been thinking ALOT about paint and body work and what not, and i have decided on paint colors. both are oem paint colors. the engine bay will be painted Camellia Red Pearl



and the interior metal will be getting painted a simple flat black

i'm undecided on the exterior though. i don't know if i want a nice white or celestial blue pearl. i'll probably have to just get a sample of each and pain a part of my car to find out.

small update: i moved the hatch around from where i had it parked next to my driveway to in my driveway. then tore apart my rear interior to replace my rear panels, since both of them are falling apart and the ones from the si are minty.

any ways here's a pictorial of how far i got today (starting at like 6pm)

cargo cover off:


wiring mess that is getting cleaned up:


then got distracted with being super stoked that all my panels are 100% strait:





then cleaned the metal panels after i vacuumed it all out


in between working on it n taking brakes n being lazy (it's day one of my vacation) i took because i looks cool
