now for pics.
this is when i bought it last September. yikes






and this is now.







and these are most recent. nothing really different besides missing decals

 

Wow, looks much better than before
Good job

 

saved her :]

 

Much, much better dude.

Welcome to the best forum ever.

 

tail lights are the only thing that should have been left alone.

great job on the rest of the car... you really salvaged that dying car...

 

Much better indeed

 

you blended in with the body kits in 2004 and now you blended in 2010 like any other car with rotas and mismatched color.

 

Nice. Like the cf hood.

 

u mad

 

and?

last time i checked this is america and he's free to do as he wishes with his property/money

not to mention considering how many riced cars to not riced cars i see, i think i would prefer to see this one even despite the commonly used items on it rather then the latter

my buddy was just talking about getting some gt3s for his eg hatch, and if i had the desire to do the same thing i would too, cause i couldn't give a fu#$ about what anyone else thinks as long as i like what i bought, i'm sure he feels the same

 

Needs a lip and better tailights

 

I threw up in my mouth a lil at the first pics.. nice turn around though

 

nice come back! anything done to the motor?

 

wow, good job so far. that thing was horrid. lol

 

 

very nice transformation. almost thought you were crazy with those first pictures. nice recover man.

 

looks good...a lot better than the before pics

 

what exactly is mismatched may i ask?
and theyre not rotas. just saying. if youre gonna knock on my fake wheels. at least get the brand right

 

nothing major really. stock bottom end. stock valvetrain. just stage 1 crower cam, aem cam gear. and then bolt ons around it. skunk2 intake manifold. fujita cold air intake. dc 4-1 header.

 

oh and the taillights are normal again as of today

 

Great progress.

Seeing a subrame brace WITH a sway bar is refreshing.

 

lookin good, imo witout the tint look much cleaner

 

lol when I saw the first pics I was thinking to my self "someone get this guy a flame suit" then I scrolled down a bit further and saw that he resurected this beauty gj!

 

Its funny that you even have to mention it isn't it?

I have never understood the purpose of reinforcing a sub frame that doesn't need it because the very item that causes it to need reinforcement is absent. Oh well, sometimes car parts are nothing more than accessories.

Nice car btw.

I can't hate on the before picture too much, as it is MUCH more well done than many of the body kit wearing cars that I have ever seen around my area. The after is definitely a step up though, for sure.

 

yeah i wouldnt have just gotten the brace without the sway bar also. thats just retarded.
and as for the body kit. it wasnt horrible as in it not fitting. cuz for aftermarke, it fit really well. it just didnt look as clean as i wanted it to. if it was in horrible condition like some you see out there, where theyre not painted or hanging completely off, i wouldnt have bought it.
