Default Project De-Rice!! a thread of what not to do to a 94 Dx Coupe!! (UPDATED!!)

Ok...so well when I bought my car, I was into the whole body kit crap and altezzas, I think we all weent trough a phase like this...well I finally save some money and now, I am in the process of de-ricing my coupe....this is sort of a guide for people and showing to not be a jackass like I was and waste money....any and all constructive criticism(sp?) is welcomed.....but please save your smart *** comments like "you should go jump off a cliff and end yourself" I don't think anyone wants to read that ****!! Thanks for viewing my thread and for all of your comments. This thread will be updated periodicall as I recieve parts I have bought off of here and ebay.

Gsr Shift ****:


OEM Tails:



and here are the before pics of my riced out coupe...much change is needed...I know:













soon to have after pics as soon as I start getting parts in and installing them!!


after pics(not completed, but on my way):

OEM fogs intalled, but not wired!




Finally stock tails and got rid of those gay-tezzas!!

Good Luck with the re-birth. Good thing you didn't go as far as painting the whole thing some godawful metallic paint job, or lamborghini doors. Itll be back to clean in no time.

wow, wow, wow...

you need some JDM moldings. you need OEM tail lights, you need to ditch those altezza's, and you need to get rid off all that red and blue garbage.. ide think about investing in some JDM headlights.. those TYC's just dont' apeal to me... and ide look into getting some all AMBER turn signal lens's...

a new cluster wouldn't be a bad idea.. the rusted screws dont' look too hot.

EDIT: oh and the Z3 fenders just arn't rubbing me the right way.. ide look into getting some JDM EG fenders with the side markers in them..

other than that.. the body looks good.. a new trunk, and paint and your set.
