paint = awesome.
interior = pretty cool.
ls mesh = much improved.
This car has come a long way and appears to be headed in the right direction! Keep up the good work.

whoa.. i don't think i have ever seen anyone "grow" this quick.. is it still an auto?
i'll be honest it was pretty goofy, high school/mcdonald's style build.. but now its looking like your hooked and in it for the long game.
well done mate!

I like the STR wheels, who cares about the eBay parts. Dropping tons of money on the real stuff is pointless on a daily.
Interior looks great and so does the car. Make it what you want and not what other people tell you
Oh btw the best way to align those fog lights is to use black zip ties to secure them to the mounting brackets a little better, that way they don't look cockeyed. My aftermarket headlights and fog lights suck in the rain, I highly suggest re sealing them as both the headlights and fog lights are prone to leak. The headlights still have never sealed correctly

Re: From rat-rod to something else ...d-cheeze 97 ej6 hatch rebuild
This site makes me wonder.....
I came from a poor family and did not have much when I got into Hondas ...now after much harder d work I personally can afford most things I want .... I bought STR wheels because I like the design and color ...not because of what they cost ....not trying to impress anyone ... I like what I like and that's all that matters

sweet build so far but be careful riding those streched tires on the freeway or no more ej6 hatch for us to see you build

Unwise? I didnt see any wisdom from your post. You're saying you don't think, aka your opinion, that it's worthwhile to put expensive parts on a daily. That's fine for you. It fits you. It doesn't fit everyone. You're naive for thinking anything different.

First off, ignore the disrespectful comments on the first page. There's a difference between expressing your opinion in a respectful manor, and being a douche bag. Secondly, even when it was an auto with the single slammer, it looked great. No I'm not a fan of the previous wheels, or the stretched tires, but it isn't my car, it's yours. Other than that, I would have driven the **** out of that car for a daily. As you stated, it was an appearance build and you did a great job at changing the appearance.. It's really kind of sad, I get some "compliments" on my build thread solely for the parts that I (irresponsibly) bought, and you catch a bunch of **** from some ******** even though your car is cleaner than mine is... And now look, an Ls swap and auto to manual conversion and everybody's tune changes.. I think you're doing just fine, better than 85% of the build threads on here. Keep it up, and keep giving no *****. 👍🏼
