Default just got my car from the shop.

Its not painted yet, but this is it. In a few months i'll have the $ for the paint I HOPE. As you can see the front doesn't fit quite well thats because the entire head lamp assembly is bent to poop... just like the color of the primer. Once i get the JDMs in tomarrow i think it will fit better.

So thats that. here is the imagestation address...

BEFORE check this out first. http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4291980853

AFTER check this out after you have seen the before! http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4291872049

some pics are lower quality sorry. The after takes a little bit to load up since the size is a bit larger.

please tell me what you all think. good and bad. Flame me if needed 80)

can anyone tell me what wheels those are?

I like it. I think it looks much better than it did when it all smashed up. The body shop did good work on it. Should look great once you get some nice glossy paint on there.

Was it damaged when you bought it? How much did you pick it up for?

well i bought it as you saw it in the before except for the molding were on. it wouldn't run and someone tried to steal it so i had to get a used ignition new distributor, and glass for the door. Other than that it was fine...and well the body was pretty beat.

The reason why to front doesn't line up is because the head lamp assembly is all bent and some of the frame seems to be bent in there as well. I'm going to bring it back down to the body shop and see if he can straighten it out some more.

Well to be completly honest i can't tell you how much i paid. Lets just say... i could have bought a sony explode head unit for more money.

what kind of crack are you smoking?? i guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion, mine is that cars look way better with the moldings shaved.

the plug is the window plug for a 92 civic hatch. I THINK. got the part # from http://www.g2ic.com in the teg tips.

to be honest this brown primer has grown on me. I don't think i'll go crazy and paint it brown... but this flat looking brown to me just looks cool.

Yeah downeybear i also think your crazy. You must be into that whole leave it stock JDM amber maddness thats going on. I think the removal of that whole body line was the best thing i could have done. I personally think it looks amazing with out the molding and to be honest... its mine and i like it this way. are two styles just don't match... which is cool but yeah thats it.

i don't want those springs... i don't like Neuspeed stuff... i don't know why. I will get some GC coilovers sometime in the next month. i would be buying some now, but my girls bday is next week and well i have to spend $ on her. I think she's a bit more important than fixing my 4X4.
