Thanks Guys!
Turbo should be here shortly, also ordered CTR headlights on a whim...
Next is the rest of my tuck stuff... Was goin to have Josh croll from Crolls customs shave and paint the bay but had a few things come up with my house and will have to put this project on hold... Will definately at least re spray the bay...
More pics up as soon as progress is made and parts arrive..

Update..
It's been a bit and nothin crazy but I got a fresh set of CTR lights. And had my body guy restore them. Still waiting on my turbo. These GTX-3582r's are kinda hard to come by! Hopefully this week!

Before restoration.

That cluster is probably the nicest I've seen custom fitted. Nice job

Thank you.
I might ditch it and do a similar bezel with a racepack display..
Just gotta get this thing on the road. Hopefully in a month or so I'll be taking it to my buddy's shop and were going to start the shave and brakeline tuck..

Been thinking of the exospeed 3 price front end too......
We will see!

After seeing the July 2011 issue Honda tuning. I'm going to be making a trip to epic tuning to check out their awd coupe..... So needless to say my transmission build is on hold!

Yes. wet sanded, cleared and buffed. They look brand new!
He did a set for my JDM front Teggy and those came out awesome and after a year they still looked great.

If you ultimately throw those ctr's on your car, you should throw on some clear lamin-x on them to keep the plastic brand spanking new forever!

Also, hurry up and finish this car so i can buy it!

They have a very thick layer of clear on them. They can always be buffed
Also I'll never be able to sell this car. I have well over 15k in it and it's still not close to done.. I'm sure awd will be at least 5-7k then there's the cage and still the shave and truck.. Lol @ the 30k civic.

Yes it has! Im working second shift and money isn't what it used to be!
I had a few home repairs that killed my build fund. I even sold my CTR headlights
But.......... I finally have my turbo! Garrett GTX-3582r
I decided to ditch the awd conversion due to not being able to source a wagovan rear diff.
Should have my trans shortly. B16 with quaife LSD, mfactory first gear,gsr 2nd and mfactory 4.05fd. That is one of the last BIG pieces to the puzzle..
Still need to have ic piping fabbed, turbo and catch can plumbing, tuck harness, brake tuck kit and the shave and respray of the bay.. I know it's been slow but I'm trying to only do this car once. Hopefully will be bringing it out spring of 2012!
Here are some pics of the turbo
