Default anyone ever buy there old car back? well i did. (pics inside)

long story short, i bought this eg si from my cousin who sells cars. it was a stolen recovery. (no front end or interior) i put it back together sold it and it sat in a garage for 2 yrs. they had broken into it and f'ed every thing up and the owner lost interested. so i bought it back off of him and brought it back to life. keep in mind i am still working on it. sorry i dont have pics how it look before. i installed the mud flaps, side skirts, jdm rear wing, jdm front bumper with lip(same as us), jdm rear trunk lid,jdm radiator, re-wired engine cause the thieves f'ed it all up.

i was gonna get a duckbill but instead i put a jdm rear wing with led. it sticks out about an inch longer than stock. jdm yo! it also has a jdm rear trunk lid. its wider where the licence plate goes, i had to fab up my plate for it to work.

does feel kinda wierd but the last owner did not do any thing to it besides the wheels. plus this was my first build on a honda so it feels good to have her back.
when i seen it in the garage all torn up, i felt so bad and i knew it needed its old owner back.
