I still need to do a few things but i picked up for $3000 so no complaints. But if you have and advice let me know. thanks. oh and those plates arent the same.

Get rid of that ugly blue cluster and get a 92 - 95 si/ex tachometer so you can see your revs. =p Is it just me or is the rear of the hatch modified??? Looks odd. Other than that it has potential. *thumbs up*

Good looking hatch man, the back really jumps out. The "clean-sheet" flatbed and lights, crazy, not a huge fan of it, but it's always cool to see something different. Love the paint, not a huge fan of the blue interior IMHO, But considering I'm always a fan of the standard look, i love the tail-lights of the EG hatches, etc. It's just me.

Keep it up.

Any future plans?

Overall nice car. I'm not a fan of the shaved tailgate but it looks like it was done right . I'm also not a fan of the painted interior bits, I think it would be 10x better with oem colour interior.

Don't take this as an offense, but, lower it <U>more</U>? This isn't limbo IMO.

Mounting tach = rice. EX Cluster = sex.

As far as where to pick on up, the Marketplace on this forum is a good place.

That will take you to the Midwest For-Sale area. I figure that because you're location is Ohio, haha. Unfortunatly, no Trial users are allowed, so post a few more times and wait a bit and that will go away. And yea, Being from the Midwest is a pain, i'm from Wisconsin, and it sucks having such bad winters.

man I love the shaved hatch look, I know alot people dont but like sprinter said its good to be diffrent. the oem jdm look will go out style as soon as some other **** comes around and everybody jumps on that horse and f!@ks its brains out.

Needs some quick and easy fixes but looks good overall.

dig the color, but little things with your interior needs to go! you could start with taking off that steering wheel pad!
check the paint and body forum if you want to redo your interior pieces, there's a pretty good thread about painting interior (dash etc.) that you should look into if you're looking to get rid of that blue.

Nice first car. I wont refer to looks because I think you get the idea what to do. But the Ls is a perfect motor for boost. No need for a swap + boost. That would become way to pricey.

Nice car, not a fan of all the painted interior crap though. It never ends up looking right.

Good looking hatch, dont listen to these haters.... If you like your car then more power too you dont worry about what these people say. Although I do agree w/ the painted interior comments. My car had it painted silver to match the vogue silver paint and it looked like **** and ended up chipping and peeling later on.

Looks like the hatch lid is missing parts.
