Which one?

I'm sorry, the color is ugly. The car isn't bad, not as much work needed as my CX.

It looks even worse (as in more work) now. Nearly no plastic/bolts/nuts/interior are left on the car.

Be happy that your's is in that condition.

Why not? You get an engine with double the power, rear discs, a damn rear wiper, and I think swaybars.

and also a lot of added weight... i am upgrading the brakes with GSR ones and swapping anyways.

soon on the list is a 22mm itr rear sway with ASR to dial in the suspension... and an ex front sway (already found one)

looks ok man, i think a lot of people wouldn't be hating if you didn't try so hard with the jdm bullshit. you drop words like japan around here and people know your flat out a poser.

then you put a 15$ ebay badge on your car.. it's a 18 second car bro.. no need for "cosmetic add-on's" just yet.

you have to earn every ******* inch of your car over periods of years. paycheck after ******* paycheck.. not a can of rattle and a ebay badge.

happing building in the future thow.

to each his own man, i dont have to earn anything around here... i've been around hondas before i had my license and have had several since. what the expletive, i did not use a rattle can, this is actual two stage paint and it looks goood up close not all ghetto.
