Default My baby. What do you think?

Well I just want some opinions on the car. How it looks what did I miss. All comments will be considered. There are 24 pics of the car so be sure to click on the "next 4" button. Thanks.

Yea i'm not a fan of stickers either, they would only attract negative attention (cops, thieves). And altezza's to me just scream "RICE", every import that has them in my town has nothing more than a civic or integra all stickered up looking like garbage. Take off the stickers and replace the altezza's with stock 98+ lights and she'd look HOT, but, just my opinion

first off this is MY opinion.. I am not saying it to offend you or anything.. if this were my car then... I would lose the stickers, the wing, dump the Sony car audio for something better, lose the red and white interior and get black leather, lose the red trim pieces and get black interior trim pieces, lose the Altezza's and get 98+ all red tail lights..... like i said.. I'm not dissin' on your ride.. but these are just the changes I would do to that car.. at least it has a turbo

other than those changes.. it looks like a nice ride..

Yeah, that's what I was affraid of. It seems like nobody here likes the stickers and tail's. I was thinking of dumping the stickers and throwing on a carbon fiber hood.

I actually like the interior. I'd just be careful cuz white gets dirty easily. Just lose the stickers and you'll be lookin hot.

your car looks SICK!!! I love the white rims & stickers on red paint... are those 17's?? how much is the drop? the altezza's are OK, but I'd revert back to stock on those.

these guys do have a point though... attracting attention is fine, but attracting COPS isn't!! where I'm from that car will get you pulled over in 2 seconds.

Yes it was!! I shattered the dif in my tranny and Payn put in the new tranny and Quaife. He's really cool and I would recommed him to anyone.

The reason I put the giant on the hood is because I wanted it to have a race car look, and something sort of bold and different from everyone else.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Keep them coming.

The car looks pretty clean. I like the rims and a few of the decals. I'm not a fan or the Altezzas though. That's your only problem. Just make sure you don't go out and get one of those Boeing 747 Wings. Ugly.

Beautiful Car!

Jason-

EDIT: How did you do the interior? Is that professionally done or did you go buy the paint and do it yourself? I'm interested in doing something like that for my car. If you have AOL, IM me later on tonight: Honda Xtreme2002.

It's a show car. First, I think it looks good for a show car, but if you are just driving that around town one of these days it will get stolen

just a question, but how the hell do you keep your white interior clean. i mean on those days that your friends chill with you or those days coming in from the rain, or both friends and rain. I mean i want white, but mad hard to keep clean.

Wow I didn't think I woud get such an overwhelming response about the stickers. The car is pretty much a really fast show car. I rarely drive it (I have 3 cars), so the interior stays clean. I do use Aerospace 301 on the white leather to keep it clean. It's great stuff

As for the interior of the car. I did it all myself. All the paint I did myself AND the leather too. I am currently working on a white shift boot with the red stitching, then white carpet!

Anyways, it seems like there is two sides to the car buffs. There are your "show car" people, and there are your "go" car people. The show car people are all about making the car as different and wild as you can make it. The go car people are about one thing horsepower! My car walks the thin line of "show" and "go", but I do consider it a show car because I rarely drive it and am constantly going to shows. Speaking of shows, I'll be at Carlisle in May if anyone wants to get a little Honda-Tech meet together. It's funny how my car never won a single award at any shows until I put the giant on it. It is, however, getting old. Like I said above I have been tossing around the idea of a carbon fiber hood with 98 tails and no stickers, BUT I have also been tossing around the idea of a front end conversion (J-spec), with Supra tails and no stickers! ARGH! So much I want to do, so little money.

Nice ride! The interior and sound system is alittle too much for me, but then again im a "go" guy. It looks really clean though. Carbon fiber hood would be sweeeeet, lose the stickers and make it a "sleeper" show car to sneak up on *****'s! Altezzas are too played out, Everybody's grandma's got em on there wheel chairs. I could eat dinner off your engine bay its soo clean. Do what you want, its your ride and in the end thats all that matters. Every car should have HONDA-TECH.COM stickers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
