Default Took some pics of my ek coupe. A before and after too.

Well, it was half-way nice outside today so I took some pics. What do you think?Flamers are welcome. And I am probably going to ditch the eyebrows. Thanks.
Oh yeah, here is what it looked like when I bought it:

Here it is as of today:

not bad....I don't like the grille though. I'd go with the si grille. it's much cleaner.

Is that a Mugen grill? Either way, I'd ditch it. Looks clean though. I love the silver coupes.

Yeah, it's the Mugen grill. Although now that I photoshopped the other grille on, I really like that grille better, alot better(si grille). Glad I saved the stock grille

You can't get the SI grill. That is a 96-98, not a 99-00. I like the car though, but I am not real fond of the eyelids, nor the grill. Otherwise
