A big hole saw and a 1/2" drill motor. The valve cover side is the tricky one. You have to clamp another piece of aluminum to the bottom when you make the cut because the center of the hole is not on the cover, its about an 1/8" from the ede.

Re: (onepoint6i)

yah i mean that bay is so smooth if it's all metal filled

the crx is only what 3 or 4 wks old

just wait till the end of summer

camber is really bad though it's like -3.5* or so

may have to add spacers + camber kit + roll fenders to do it best.
i could've made a seperate thread for the crx but i don't wanna floss it to a billion ppl right now

New Car looks great man.

Ya I'm in the same boat with the camber; I tried to do an alignment at work and the machine thought the front beam was blocked because front two heads are pointing at the ground instead of each other.

I just shaved the back of my 0 offset sportmax 002 wheels to get like 15mm offset clearance so I dont need fender flares on my crx. but I had to get smaller calipers but they still hold the ex pads in them

I will post pix up when I can get a camera

Re: (THE NATURAL)

Not to ***** (not what I have much to *****!), but I had some free time today so I gave the car a quick rinse and re-applied the black pinstripe

. Not as perfect as I'd like it, and water droplets from the wash still visible in pics, but it'll do for now

Really need to get this thing lowered with its new shoes

.

Oh yeah, and should I get sidemarkers for my car or just leave the fenders smooth?

JDM ZC Si style without the ZC hood

Yeah i think it looks good w/out the sidemarkers. Of course the Drop will make it look much better, but the cleared/white look in the front will look overkill with the sidemarkers

dump it first then get the wheels ^_- still would look hot with those caps a little tucked
