Most recent pics of my 96 Ej sedan. Grille has since been painted silver, hood and fenders have been lined up better. Has tape marks on the bumper I cant get off. Will be going back to OEM lights soon, knock off are leaking. Any comments and photo tips are greatly welcome.

 

has great potential, seems like yer off to a good start

 

Any recommendations or opinions as far as appearance? Im thinking 98-00 front end in the future, maybe Mugen lip and I want paint. And some better wheels eventually. Just in college = no money.

 

I just sold those exact wheels. I had them on my 99-00 front VSM hatch. They looked very nice but rubbed way to much.

 

Really they're 15x7 +40 Slips with 205's. They only rubbed in the back. Had to roll the fender a little. But im only 1.5" F 1.75" R also. I have Yellows in front and will get some for the back too then prob GC so I can lower like another 1/2".

 

looks good. on building a sedan. Do you have a front sawybar? How is the balance of the car with the ASR 22mm on there?

 

No front swaybar. Its pretty good. I would say its almost neutral at high speed. At low speed it would be better with a front bar. I need better tires then it should feel great.

 

Cars looking nice, but needs some small touches. Like CTR headlights headlights would make it look 100time better. Also, the hood fitment looks off on the right side.

 

It has fake CTR lights. I cant justify spending 450 plus on a set of headlights.

 

not bad...you have a good platform. i know how it is to be in school & be broke, but this is what i would do: take out those fogs, get a Mugen wing, change rims, CTR or Spoon mirrors, paint sideskirts, maybe a Spoon lip or Mugen lip like you mentioned, depending on the theme you're going for & you should be good from there. just keep playing lotto BTW, you can get CTR headlight for a lot less than $450...just keep looking & you'll find them

it's either 96-98 (like what you have) or 99-00

and stick with the front end you have, you already stated it

so instead of blowing money on another front end that gains absolutely nothing but another look from a stock car... just paint match your grill, side skirts and that will make all the difference in the world, shiet that can be done by you for under $50!!!

but you say you've done this so lets get some updated pics then

also, what tire size are you rockin??

EDIT: oh year, where are the rear window visors? lol

 

I meant to say 99-00. Idk the 96-98 just looks so old compared to the 99-00. I guess its just me being used to it and everything else looking better. Yeah I need to get some pics since I painted the grille. tires are 205 50 15. Im sure a complete paint job would do wonders, but thats donw the road.

i'd recommend downsizing to 195/50/15

 

keep that front end, be proud to rock it, haha. i say paint your sideskirts, door moldings, and handles, and throw a rear lip on it and it will look awesome

 

Rear lip and paintmatch everything, would look sexy

 

yeah ill be ordering more vogue silver paint soon. Also does anyone have the same problem with the splash shield behind the bumper sagging? Is there a way to fix that. You can see it in the second pic. my bumper is missing the bottom two bolts, i need to drill out one of them that snapped off so that would help a little. But the splash guard itself is falling down.

 

hmm mine doesn't sag

 

Some quick pics of painted grille and my crap CF hood I got for $100. Its ugly. But I like the color contrast.



Apparently this squirrel hates it because he was chucking crap at my car the whole time.


Any one have a crappy CF lip they want to get rid of?

 

Lookin' good

 

Im thinking I want to get GC sleeves and lower it another half inch. roll the fenders and more camber. Then in the future some different wheels maybe bronze GT3's. And i think I like the spoon lip better. If it has to be slow I better make it look nice lol.

 

Paint your sideskirts and door handles. It's begging for it.

 

As soon as I order more paint that will be happening.

 

I like the stance right now, don't dig slammed y0! cars

 

needs 2 more window visors
paint match
