I hear you on the moldings but I did take a look at a lot of tegs w/ the jdm front w/ and w/out moldings and it didnt really matter. Plus I also had to consider that the shop did the complete job for free and I did not want to be picky since he would not let me pay for anything.

I was also concerned if the body lines would look real good. SInce the job was free I did not know if they would take there time.

Future Plans: Take out the engine and interior and may consider painting different color.

- convert the 1.8 ls vtec to a 2.0 and itb

- already have type r interior just need to finish it up, like arm rest, and door panels.

- want rims for the spring and summer will keep the ones for the winter. (not like a drive the car)

- I will post pics of the progress as I go

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions
