Default Check out my EK want some opinions...

It is a 97 hatch with a k20 r swap with a direct port kit. I have way to many mods to list and i know its not everyones cup of tea. I've entered some shows recently and i'm doing very well but wanna keep improving the car some i'm interested in some new ideas.. I'm in the process of getting rid of the ion headlights for some CTR's..

red would not be my choice of color, but clean hatch nonetheless.

Yeah thanks everyone..

I defintely wanna do the CTR headlights thats in the process.
I do have NRG ITR replica seats with all the goodies up front. I'd like to do a cage or atleast a harness bar with some 4 point harnesses. I also wanna do a bucket race seats. I'd like to do a wiretuck but removing the fuse box would cause more paint work some i'm gonna wait.

I'm in the process of scooping up ASR sub frame brace and swaybar from a local who wrecked his car. Its coming along i'm just trying to improve it.

I really wanna get some CPR's or do some kinda custom powdercoating with new stickers on the volks..Maybe white with a red lip is what i've been thinking.

Yeah man it runs good but i've never ran it. I sprayed it 3 times on the dyno then 2 times on the street just to double check everything on the labtop under full load. I went from racing my boosted EG every weekend to showing my EK..

I've actually only showed it and done really well in my 1st 2 shows without the VOLKS..

I just recently added the lip,wing and mirrors but the plan is to eventually paint all of it along with sideskirts but i'm not doing it till i redo the whole car because it'll never match perfect.

Car looks great so far, and the motor swap is .

Here are my suggestions:

-&gt;CTR rear lip
-&gt;Paint your door handle red to match the moldings.
-&gt;Paint your side molding red to color match the paint. I think it looks way better color matched than black.
-&gt;Paint your front lip.
-&gt;And as you said, CTR headlights. (The real deal.)

These should really step your game up appearance wise.

damn bro, when'd you get this? looks great all around except for the front lip, i think you should go with an Si-R, also color match all the body parts like door handles, sideskirts, mirrors, etc.

wiretuck would help out a lot too, looks great though man, cant wait to see it in person.
