Default My Green EJ8 (a work in progress)...Check it out!

Just wanted to show off my EJ8 (hah! as if there's anything to really show). But anyway, here she is..

Engine/Power Set up:
SOHC ZC VTEC (app. 45k on it)
Full APEXi IHI ball bearing turbo kit
APEXi GT intercooler
Bone stock block and head
Full synthetic oil ALWAYS!
8lbs until it's fully dyno tuned with ARP head studs and a new headgasket
Custom crush bent 2.25" exhaust, catless and no resonator, with MR muffler
Crome Pro engine management

Exterior so far:
Mugen "style" front lip
diy CTR headlights done by me (they turned out perfect, I'll get a good pic later)
Si wheels
Hood spacers!
Megan Racing sleeve overs for now until I get some shocks for my H&R Race's

Things coming in the next two weeks:
stage 3 clutch and 8lbs flywheel with stainless braided clutch line
Painted OEM style rear lip
ARP head studs
New OEM head gasket
Nice heatshield for that ugly *** cast turbo mani
Repainting VC black with wrinkle finish
Maybe a CTR grill painted
Dropping the back a tad bit more
Full removal of A/C and cruise (keeping P/S!)
...and definitely removing the gay *** tail light tint!

Interior stuff:
LS cluster w/ red bulbs
CTR shift boot
FOX-Stock shift **** (it kicks ***!)
Pioneer CD player (but NO system...I don't like em)
Swoosh turbo timer
And Im taking out my LS seats from my crushed EK and putting them in as well

haha thanks guys. And about the headlights, I just took them apart and rubbed down the finish on the chrome housings and then painted them a gunmetal color I got from the autoparts store and let them dry for a while. By the way, I'll have it updated in about 2-3 weeks with the new lip and everything on it. It's going to be better soon.

Thanks man, Im shooting for clean. I think the painted rear lip and getting that paint off the tail lights is going to make a huge difference. Im really excited about making it look better lol.
