updated pics! car was lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit springs, steelies were repainted gloss black, tires cleaned, car washed, new CV axles installed, and the lip/sides were painted to match.

car is making a big turnaround from when i first got it.































and now you know what time it is.....comments! or ?

 

lip looks pink... and you need some wheels, why is it ethanol powered?

 

not bad

i spray canned the lip and side skirts. going to use them as winter pieces when i eventually get my SiR bumpers. 16" 5Zigen FN01-C's are on the list, hopefully by next spring.

and ethanol powered, lol. i live in iowa, and the state pushes the ethanol fuel big time, being that its made with corn we grow here. its also around 89 octane, and is usually about 10 cents cheaper per gallon than 87 octane.

 

lucky its cheaper, we dont have ethanol here

finally you got your springs, but still needs to be dropped more.

thanks for all the comments. feels good when people appreciate your car.

 

Love the color scheme and the drop, but the lip just looks out of place. The body lines don't agree with it. Everything on the car is rounded and smooth, and the lip has all these square edges. I'd much rather see a CTR lip on it, but it's not my car.

 

 

Overall, I think it looks good. I'd suggest doing something with those headlights, and make that front bumper line up better (gaps seems to be "off" a little)

CTR lip with SiR bumpers and colored moldings is the future look.

i just wanted to get something on there. its got an aftermarket front that fits and looks like crap, so the lip helped out a little, lol. i'll retire this current front to winter status once i buy the SiR pieces.

 

maybe i finally decided on some wheels, lol. i really love the way these 16" rota grids look on my car:



might be able to buy em in another month or two.

BTW, check out my new web site

Looks good, I think the Grids would look tacky compared to the FN01-C's, but thats my opinion.

Also, when you lower it, Eibach springs are known to Sag, really bad. H&R Race drops or Tein S-Tech springs are nice. IF you can afford it, find you a set of OmniPower Coilovers.

i really like the FN01R-C's, but these wheels are a little cheaper, and i won't feel so bad if i happen to curb one. plus, i want to do the NSX front brake upgrade, and that would mean i'd need some bigger wheels for the winter time (steelies won't fit over those brakes), so i can get the rotas to start with, and then possibly step up with some FN01R-C's for the summer/etc.

as far as the springs go, i bought the pro-kit used for $100, and slapped em onto my stock shocks, just to get the car away from that 4x4 stance. i'd really love to pick up some Omnipowers, plus then they'd match my omni rear LCA's...lol

thanks for the reply though, SlowSpyder.
