i know some of you may say that the headlights may need to be changed ...... like getting some CTR headlights. I ALREADY have them my mechanics just haven't had the time to change them. i also need to get CTR red carpet & that is in the process ........ its that its kinda hard to do 2 .... well 3 cars at the same time

Thanks for the save!!!! One more EJ8 on the road..



Not feeling the 17" CCW's though. They look really funky on your ride dude, some 16"s wouldve been HOT fire. I see you have the big brake kit though.

well ............ originally they were suppose to be 16" ccw's buttttt it couldn't be done simply because the bolt's (from the 3pc assembly) from behind the face was grazing my brake calipers SO ccw sent me 3 different wheels with different specs and couldn't do it, so i had to jump it up to 17's.

i've had the ccw's since june ..... rims only been mounted once tires never seen the road ....... and .......... i'm getting new wheels for the car when income comes around. too much hype about ccw's .... i'ma try and get something i haven't seen on a honda yet ..... civic that is

Amazing job! IMO keep those headlights, they're a nice touch. Not really feeling the CCWs but w/e it's your car.

Love the wheels, but they look almost goofy on there.

That car is CRYING for a BYS bumper...

I LOVE the effort and work so far!

Very very well done.

Besides the headlights, the one thing I see that I think would look better another way is the front bumper grilles are painted white instead of matte black.

Otherwise it looks a lot better.

i didn't want the BYS bumper simply because i don't want my intercooler showing, i wanted it somewhat hidden
