JDM EJ1 95 08-03-2005 11:00 PM

you guys gotta understand.... its impossible for me right now to place my intercooler in a fashion that i can get a new bumper... yes i would love to but i cat right now.. id have to get a new intercooler and its not something i wanna do right now...

JDM EJ1 95 08-03-2005 11:08 PM

For the bumper: Who gives a fuck, he is boosting! I think later down the road a more neat IC piping and FMIC would be nice but for now function &gt; fashion.

For the wheels: Keep polishing Alice! https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emwink.gif

JDM EJ1 95 08-03-2005 11:37 PM

yea man.. a 12 second car doesnt care what it looks like... the only reason id wanna change the front bumper and intercooler setup is bc id love to see the looks on some peoples faces when they cant see shit and get dominated all over...

JDM EJ1 95 08-04-2005 12:01 AM

12 sec car huh? you need to update your sig then https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emwink.gif

just playing, but if you make that sort of time then who cares what your front looks like because most people will be looking at your tailights https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

JDM EJ1 95 08-04-2005 07:51 AM

Personally about the wheels...i think polished would look a hell of a lot better than painted...thats just me. Ive never seen these wheels polished but i bet they look sick as hell....and as for the bumper Fuck that shit.... If its a 12 second car who cares man...these **** are just complaining cause their car doesnt do 12s... Post some pics when the wheels are done https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

I think the bumper is hot https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Function over fashion https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

I vote to paint them!

i got the same wheels on my EG...mine are painted black https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

JDM EJ1 95 08-04-2005 08:45 AM

with the polishing... the only problems ive come across is getting the stock pitting out of the metal of the wheels.. takes forever to sand it all down to a polishable surface... and the ones i have done.. theyre just starting to pit again....so i think im just gonna paint them

I'd have to agree, that looks like ass.

BSERIEuS 08-04-2005 11:45 AM

you can use that aircraft paint remover stuff.....start sanding after that.......it takes alotta time...but i did that shit to my SI wheels. then mothers polish will do the trick
