A few Shots after a wash!!!
Just got it back out of the shop, some asshat tried to cross 3 lanes of traffic over a double yellow line and could not see a FKN YELLOW CAR GOING 50mph.
Made the guys insurance paint the whole car so it would match. I just added the OEM front and rear spoilers, and Just added the BBS JDM wheels I refinished in gunmetal.

Same specs as the AP1 wheels just lighter, front are 4.2ish lighter and the rear are 4.7ish lighter. You can really feel it in the car that the rotational mass savings.

Looks good, man.
Did the insurance company hassle you about having the whole car repainted? I hate seeing pictures of ITR's and S2k's with a body panel a few shades off. If I were to get in an accident, I'd have them respray the whole car, too.

Actually rotative inertia is what I was talking about or unsprung weight BLAH BLAH my Degree is in Finance hehe.
The only parts of the car they did not paint were the passenger door, left rear quarter and the trunk. The entire driver side needed to be painted. Yea they gave me a little problem but not much. Did not have to get my lawyer involved in that part of the accident.

Re: (MAYHEM)
just messin' with ya. 
When I hear rotational mass I think of the rotational mass of the engine.
The car looks good. Does it still drive good after all the repairs? I know some cars just don't seem right after they've been wrecked.

The car was not fixed by honda the honda dealership here in Baton Rouge SUCKS ***. It was dont by a local shop that did a REALLY REALLY good job it drives like it did before the wreck, no squeeks or rattles or anything like that. the car had $9500 in damage My lawyer is fileing a deminished value claim in the amount of $5000. I am just lucky the car is paid for and I really plan on keeping it for a long long time it only has 30k miles on it.
the color is a little darker than the original spa yellow but its all one yellow so I am ok with that.
PS you cannot lower cars in Louisiana, anyway I like bing different leave it stock is now cool

the roads / driveways in lousiana arent friendly to lowered cars.
Spent 3 months there working on a movie, quite an experience.
