Some detail shots...

My authentic J's Racing sideskirts, which I had cut to match the curvature of the front bumper.



The canards were sprayed black with a matte clear while the lip is a combination of gloss black (top) and matte black (sides and bottom).



Radiused fenders



Rear... looks kind of wimpy with only an 18x10.75 wheel. It's much meaner looking with the 18x12's that I had before.



My ideal wheel specs are 18x12 +13 rear with a 285/30 and 18x10 +13 front with a 225/40. The car is for sale for $13k (LM's not included).

wow this car just looks and sounds badass

 

Dayum, you weren't afraid of smashin' on it with it that low? Lol got *****

 

I'm used to driving this low, the only nuisance I ever ran into was going to and from WekFest. My buddy who went with me weighs 250lbs so I could only fill 4 gallons at a time (else, the old exhaust would drag on the ground) and I would easily take out a line of reflectors each time I changed lanes. The San Francisco trip ripped a hole in my resonator which is part of the reason why I went full unrestricted this time around.

 

Always loved your car alex. I lurk on s2ki and it always makes me drool. Fenders are sexy.

 

Oh man, that sounds annoying imho. Not into the wheel set up, at all. But I can appreciate the time and money spent.

 

dayum. Wish I lived in cali

 

sounds cool, rear camber is geh

 

thats really loud

 

the car looks terrible. I'm not sure why all of that time and money went into the car just to run that much camber.

I'm glad the car is for sale, it'd be nice to see someone put some functionality back into it.

and you drive like a real *******.

 

love how the car looks especially that exhaust

 

Yup, that's what straight pipes sound like. It's fun for about 5 mins.

 

I want to appreciate this style so much, but the rear camber just looks horrible. Yes it is the style you are going for and within that style it seems to be right on par with the others. I guess to each their own.

 

thats one way to kill a once fun, and drivable honda.....no wonder everyone hates the honda scene anymore

 

Insanely screaming lol. Nice s2k though

 

wat u getting next? thing sound badass

 

Looks like doo doo, sounds like doo doo...Hope the new owner fixes it...

 

Shift!

 

wow so much hatin' hahaha

i saw this at wekfest and i have to say its beautiful, it all flows so well together like a piece of art.

dudes not a friend of mine, i dont care for low offset wheels or loud exhaust on my own cars, but im giving props where they are due.

your car

 

Oh lord. That exhaust gave me straight chills.

 

i like it

 

no "hatin" going on here, just as you and many others have expressed their opinions of this vehicle as it being nice, we have expressed our opinions of it being ridiculous. Why is it that when one person likes something and someone else doesnt it has to be "hatin" the bandwagon doesnt constitute whats right, its just a bandwagon.

If the owner likes it then good for him, it shouldnt matter what the rest think, whether we like it or hate it he should be doing it for himself, which im sure he is.

and its HATING, you took the time to add a ' to the end of hatin why not just use the correct final letter of the word. it wont take anymore keystrokes.

 

I would have an equally long and lame response as yours but thankfully my time is worth more than arguing w some faceless jackass on the internets

U have any more lectures for me feel free to pm me and don't clutter someones thread w ur crybaby bullshit

 

I love it. Good stuff alex

 

sounds badass
