hey im new check me out!

hey im new, and since ive been here it seems that all the cool new guys post up their rides. so this is mines. i took some classes at the community college and tried to do all the paint and bodywork myself. well it looks pretty good in pictures but in real life its pretty bumpy. hope ya like it. oh yeah the reason im running stocks in the front is because the negative camber in the front blew the tires up. anyways just wanted to introduce myself. enjoy

before...

after...

and my other car

Wow, that came out awesome, i'm soon going to paint my own car too, and it'll be a first time expierence, hope it comes out like your's! =]

And yeah, I always wondered why people always had front stocks and rims on back. EVERYONE with dropped cars around here does that.

Most of the time when people do that it's b/c they have a rwd and they think they can drift. The rest of the time its because they couldn't afford 4 wheels, so they bought 2 instead of saving.
.
The car isn't low enough for the camber to have seiously screwed up the tires. If they blew, it was simply because you didn't buy new ones when you should have. Remember to get an alignment when you put bigger wheels on. It will let your tires last a lot longer.

I didn't say integras were rwd. I simply said that the reason some people have different wheels on the front and back are because they are rwd. It is common in the drift scene. Please make sure you understand what I am saying before replying.

That's an awesome color. I'll either be getting Brickyard from the '03 Z's, or Carbon Black Metallic from the M3's and 5's.

"what did you use to shave your moldings hole i want to do it myself as well "

i just got metal plates welded them in the back of the molding holes and then put a little body filler, the flexible jelly kind over the panel to cover the holes and then block sand down with 80 grit sandpaper to make it smooth. primer and then paint. let me try to take a picture of the metal plates when i have a chance.
