since i've gotten it back in january, i've done a few minor things bc i tried to focus on school. at first i didnt wanna post pictures bc everyone is so critical on here, please keep in mind its a work in progress and please... be gentle

things to knock out this weekend, paint moldings and window trim, cut out 2 small vents on front bumper, order rims, tires, and coilovers

exterior things done:
- removed ghetto fog lights previous owner had on (hack job of bumper and wiring)
- smoked a set of of generic amber corners



or ? any advice is appreciated.

 

looks good, but you need some wheels

 

slam it and get some wheels

 

rims and slamage are already in the works...i wish i wasnt so indecisive and pick a rim already. i know for sure it'll be a set of 15 inch rotas bc its in my budget...as for design and color, still dont know

i want a rim that is subtle looking and that'll flow with the car. i smoked the corners bc it was to amber against the black and how the corner looks now isnt perfect but alright looking. i want the rim to do the same, designs i like are attack, circuit 8, slips and sub zeros, all in some shade of bronze. i really like the slips but just about EVERYONE has these...so im open for suggestions for rims that are roughly $440 shipped

 

pick up a lip while your at it. $90 bucks from Honda

 

1. Slam it
2. Wheels
3. Lip

And it will be simple and clean

fa sho

 

bump to keep alive..
updates
- tires are ordered
- lug nuts as soon as vendor replies
- rims as soon as i find a dealer with them in stock

 

got my tires in 5/30
got my lug nuts in today
rims will arrive 6/08
new suspension will be in by the end of june

any idea how much mounting, balancing, and alignment will run?

im planning to put the rims on b4 suspension bc i dont trust my current tires on a 400+ road trip i have to take, so should i go ahead and get an alignment b4 and after the new suspension?
my plan of attack:
- mount, balance, alignment
- road trip
- new suspension
- another alignment?

 

bump 4 advice

 

wait till after you lower it to align it its a waste of money to do it twice. unless your car is seriously off track when driving straight down the road

 

im thinking youre not going to want to get 2 allignments, ***** not cheap....mounting and balancing shouldnt be more than $50 depends on where you go.
