Axix24's eg8's rebuild
After 2 years of the car just laying around, I am finally going to try to get her finished by end of March 2019 just in time for the Spring Import Alliance if not definitely the summer meet.
Strut tower paint was cracking so I had to fix that. Exterior paint is horrible as it never had a complete real paint job since I owned it back in 2012.
Hood looks awlful!!

Nope!
What I do is... upload to Imgur, and then upload them into an album on the site using imgur links, and then just pull them from the album when making a post.
Not sure why it works this way, but I haven't had any problems over the past year doing it like this. This is also gives you an easy way to re-size them so they don't take the whole page lol.

What website did you buy the hood from? Love how it’s coming out! I’ve always wanted a 4 door but I ended up finding a clean coupe instead :/

Thanks man. Its not as nice as some of the builds on here as its a budget build. Hood came from carparts.com. I believe it was only like $79? Had a coupon code. I only got like under $300 in parts so far on the rebuild.

Re: Axix24's eg8's 2018-2019 rebuild
So I always wondered why the eg fogs' light output wasn't as bright as for say newer civic/rsx fogs. So I decided to take the bulb reflector out and the projector lens out which increased the brightness and output. Of course I had to aim them lower so it didn't bling incoming traffic. The output on them are amazing now.
Projector lens and shield out of the fogs!

Aiming headlights
Aiming foglights
Only fogs. Lol
Foglights output is amazing now. I will probably only use these when there is no traffic around.

Guys, please let me know if you can finally see the photos. I tried to rearrange them in the correct order as well.
not sure why the font is so big when I am typing either. It’s set on default. I am not yelling. Lol

lol. Raptor is actually made by Michelin tires. The tire actually is a decent tire. Not many people know.
New fender liner clips came in today.

I’m not doubting the brand just doubt they have any traction. Think the nt-01 would do great unless this is a daily. There are a couple others in 14” too tires make or break a car to me

Your right. At the time when I started the build, car was a daily driver. Guess it’s not anymore.
Traction is not too bad. Car doesn’t have much tq to it. It really picks up on the top end tho.
The wheels and tires been on the car since May of 2015. Lol

Newly painted rocker panels going on
Used some Carnabua Wax on the newly painted engine bay. It’s been over 2 months so time for wax.
