Default Timeline of my EG6/EH2 from purchase (rice) to present (nice).....(Lotsa of Pics)

I purchased this car in July of 2003, changed alot of things since then, did alot of de-ricing too. Here is the timeline of my car. Its still not finished, but finished for the summer. Next is the loving that the body needs, then more to the motor, but that is next years projects. Also i am by no means a good photographer, so dont mind some of the pictures. Hope you guys enjoy!

These are the pics of when I first purchased it.....
M3 Mirrors, clear corners, red dash pieces, ugh.....












Next step was stock mirrors, amber corners, remove 3-piece wing, mud flaps, made my own lip, black dash pieces, and a little bit of boost was added.







Next is spoon mirrors, ek sideskirts, stock dash pieces, BKNW carbon fiber duckbill spoiler, Tein Basic Dampening Coilover suspension, black vinyl door panels, and VIS OEM Carbon Fiber Hood.





















Nice Picture Alexander took at a Honda-tech Meet




And finally finished Product for the Summer......









Thats all everyone, thanks again for viewing

hmm, other than the M3 mirrors and painted interior trim pieces, it wasn't that "ricey" before...

Put all that money in it and couldn't at least get a decent lip

Much better but should get a better lip, than a home depot special!

Looks good. A new steering wheel and a spoon lip would finish it off nicely

Paint your windshield wipers black, and new steering wheel. Other than that, looks nice.

Yea, I want the ITR w/o srs steering wheel, or spoon. I want the spoon lip too, but i wouldnt use it for daily driving.

I like that lip better than every other one, except the spoon. but whats nice about this one is if i break it i just make another one instead spending 300 at a time for a new cf spoon. Call me crazy, but a $300 lip, that will most likely get destroyed, for daily driving is kinda Impractical IMO.

you should cut the lip in half so it can flow with the rest of the car. the front looks way to low and the sides look too high. anyway, your car is hot.

i like it.

ditch that front license plate it throws off the cleanliness of the front end. and get those wiper stalks painted, stat!


ps - that IC mesh helps with big bugs/rocks dont it? helps conceal the ic a bit too
