Default Time to introduce myself....elitist #01-264 checking in

Picked up #01-0264 from a fellow HT'er two weeks ago now. Drove down to Virginia from New York to trade my 97 BMW 540i for this beauty. I am absolutely in love!!! I've owned my share of Hondas before, but they simply do not compare. Now I see what everyone in this forum is talking about...

Just thought I'd share some new pics with everyone, she was in a bit different trim when I picked it up. Little too flashy for me. Guess I'll see you guys around, can't wait to get to the track!

-Evan

Took a couple night shots last night...camera is an Olympus C8080, no tripod. Enjoy vtec228

Nice car, although the wheel color looks a little weird on a PY car.

What changes did you make to it?

PY ITR always look GOOD
btw, those 205/55/16 are too tall for itr
215/45/16 or 205/50/16 would be the best

I like the rims their something different for once, besides the usually black, bronze, and white rim or deal.

Nice car. But, what's wrong w/ the rear bumper? You should get that gab narrowed.

Thanks for the compliments! Yes, as some of you know this was Luis's R

The previous owner had an aftermarket rear bumper on the car. I took it off, but apparently some of the stock mounting points were removed to put the aftermarket one on. I have to mess with it still, I'm just glad it's back to stock

Yes sir you are correct, but unfortunately these wheels are not all mine! Two belong to a friend with an S that has other rims on it, but his lease is due in November so it wouldn't make much sense for me to put different tires on them. The other two fronts are from a customers set who left them at my shop then wrecked his car
