wasup world, jus joining on a whim, i luv jdm style cars so ima post myne up, let me know what you think of my project so far

(dont mind the lisence plate, was on there for fun, plus i didnt want my original ones in the pics)

here's a few pics of when i first got it...original color is captiva blue.









so it went from that..



to this:



(note: color shown here is still captiva blue. A short while after this, it was painted sonic blue..shown below..)

After bodywork and re-spray:






























future plans:

-BYS front lip
-rear midwing
-bomex rear wing
-apr gt mirrors
-oem spec clear sidemarkers
-b16a swap (wire tuck/shave)
-buddyclub spec II exhaust
-function form II's
-drag dr-20's (gold/machine face)

Those are the main upgrades i will be doing on the car.. theres always going to be more little parts and accesories here and there to personalize the car to my taste but thats all for now ;]

 

looks good im really liking the gold radiator support

 

No IMO it just sticks out... There is no other gold on there.

 

not too shabby man. what did you use to drop the height?

 

Hub caps have to go and the headlights. You would have been better of painting the rad support same color as the car

 

seems like your on the right track to being a hipster, nice work.

 

keep up the good work

 

one of the best colors.. A+ for u.

 

i agree lol, i wanted wheels to match but thats not happening soon..so im repainting it black for the moment

 

hub caps are gonzo....took em off, and the headlights are unique IMO theyre not that ricey..its just a clear black housing with a jdm style clear corner light. its aite with me..and a radiator support the same color as the car looks kind of messy to me.. like when ppl paint a car without removing the bumper and painting straight into the inside..know what i mean? i guess we'll always have our own likes and dislikes lol

 

Hey, think you lost your gas cap door.

 

i just need to put it back on, no biggy

 

he should probably ditch the red/white/black radiator cap as well... i mean there isnt anymore red on the car right?

or maybe he should paint his fenders and exhaust gold, b/c then, it would be acceptable...

 

Why would you get those shitty Drag wheels, you can get new nice Japanese wheels for around 900 bucks, save up a little more and get the good stuff don't fall into the fake cheap *** wheels game Good Job transforming the car tho.

 

Love the color, and I think the headlights look good. Any reason you cut out the oem grille tho? Makes it look unfinished

 

I love it man... unique, and it looks good. I never thought hub caps could look that sharp... Rock 'em!

 

Wheels look lost in the arches.
Spacers !!

 

the headlights aren't that bad good start

lose the lip though.

 

looks really good man, but please for the love of god dont get a mid wing! IMO it completely ruins the look of an otherwise nice hatch.

 

nice color

 

not necessarily diggin the bumper grill being cut out but clean color scheme

 

looks good

 

well its a jdm style car forsure.

 

That cleaned up very nicely.

 

thanks for all the comments and opinions everybody!
i sold the front lip and the headlights as well, it's rockin oem headlights now. I'm going to get the backyard special lip very soon too! i'll post up pics pretty soon ;]
