Default Teaser Pic... finally got some red srd's in my car.

Well, I was so happy about my seats, I decided to come home from class and snap a few pics of the car with the new seats in it... even though the car is absolutely filthy!!

Get home, get out the camera, get one pic, and BANG... battery dead. Look everywhere for charger and remember that it is at smutmongers house. So, I get it plugged up, turn it on and d-load the pic just before it dies again...

... as a result, I can only throw up this one pic of my car with my new seats. I am still proud. HAHAH!!!



DISCLAIMER: I know that many of you do not like 17's on honda's. Typically, neither do I. These are the 1st set of 17's that I have ever had on my car (out of 5 sets of wheels I have had so far), and I will sport them until I find my next set of 16's.

So, please comment on the seats... and if you have a good suggestion for a good looking 16 for my car, feel free to give me a thought or two. Just understand that I am not looking to get bashed for my 17's... they are just what I have now, and I am going to roll on them until a new wheel really blows me away.



MORE TO COME TOMORROW IF THE WEATHER IS GOOD!!

I think it must be your computer... I am at a friend's house now, and it is working here.

yes yes yes... I meant to put srd's. I have no idea why I put down srg's. Tired, I guess.

As for the drop and wheels comment. The car is on tein s springs with koni shocks. So, it is actually dropped a little, but doesnt look like it due to the uneven ground at my house.

In this pic, the driveway (currently dug up b/c I am replacing the crap gravel that was there when I bought my house last year with some new decorative curbing and crushed shell as the base.) is very uneven and made the rear wheel sit lower than it does when on level ground. Hope to have it all done soon, but I am only 26, and I just bought my house last year... bought it on my own and am trying to do all improvements on my own.

As for the wheels... I usually don't roll on anything bigger than a 16 on my car, but I sold my si's to get some rotas, then sold them to get some used work emotions, but that deal fell through. I came onto those wheel for such a good deal that I couldnt turn them down. They are 17" Rev mdl 15's, bronze with a polished lip. This picture doesn't do them justice. I usually get a lot of compliments on them... will keep them until I find something that really blows me away.

All of that is beside the point. I was just havin fun with my lil gift to myself that I just bought... didn't mean to open the door for people to try and pick my car apart. it is just a simple little si with a full gsr swap and some nice bolt on's here and there. I am going to continue to try and improve it here and there. Spent a lot of money on it so far, and I plan on continuing to make it my own.

Thanks for some of the comments.

I have read this many times and originally planned to simply ignore it, but I have grown to really dislike this comment. Maybe I am just being a little stupid myself for being sensitive to this comment, but it is just an asinine point of view.

I posted this picture because I was happy that I had gotten some new seats that I have worked very hard to earn the money to purchase. In my past experiences here on honda-tech, I have found that most of us share a passion for the cars that we drive and like to use that passion as a means by which we usually come together.

Had anyone else posted this thread, I would have most likely bumped it and congradulated them on their purchase. I personally wouldn't have cared if the car had a huge combat aero package and some 19's on it. I would have commented only on the seats.

Had someone posted pics of a car and said, please leave your thoughts... I might have posted something along the lines of "love those seats. They are hot sex. personally the wheels aren't for me. I don't like 17's, but glad that you are happy with what you have."

Not really sure why you attempt to cut me down due to the fact that I am currently rolling on 17's. I don't buy bigger wheels to feel special... I buy what I want to because I like it at the time. This is the first set of 17's that I have ever had on this car. I will most likely keep them for a few months and sell them for something else. This is the 5th set of wheels that I have had on this car since I got it in late october. I am sure that I will have something else soon.

Once again, I am sorry if you don't like them, but luckily you don't have to put them on your car. They are simply the current phase that my car is in... they don't change the fact that I am just another honda guy that is trying to enjoy my car and make it my own.

I usually come to this forum to read tech advice, performance advice, give a little here and there, and make my newest choices for future purchases. I am not really sure why you try to flame me on my choice of wheels as if they make me a bad person.

Not sure if I should have said any of this, but I decided to chance it and voice my thoughts... I hope you enjoy your srd's, and I am sure that I will bump your thread in a very pleasant manner.

I thought that was rule number 1131349... hahaha.

Thanks, and I agree. I don't know why I let some people get to me, but it still amazes me that some people can't just share in the fun of getting something new. If you don't like my ****, then just ignore it. ya know?

Anyway... thanks!

HAHAHA&gt;... just looked at the pic. I shot that from my front porch. The yard that you see is my neighbor's. HAHA! And, yes their yard is nothing but patches of dirt and weeds with a lil grass here and there. My front yard is grass, three large pines, and some pine-straw.

Don't be sorry... thank you for your opinion, and thank you for not trying to make me out to be stupid simply because I don't share your taste.

After all, that is how all these different companies make so many different products. We all have our own likes and dislikes.
