Default First photo shoot with my new coupe [56k warning] UPDATE!!!! 8/11/04

<U>Update!</U>
New pictures at the bottom of this post.

Ok well a few weeks ago I bought my coupe, here are some before and after shots.
There is still plenty to be done [oem headlights, wheels and a few other things] but here is the progress so far.

before... not for the weak!



After new black paint, CF hood, and amber corners...







thanks for looking
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated stuff...
15" Rota Grid wheels and 205/50/15 Falken Ziex tires




Honda-Tech.com y0

Besides the car being filthy and full of dings... lemme know what you think of the new additions.

wow, what a difference, looks a whole lot better, but looks like you have the saggy bumper syndrome on the drivers side.

Maybe it's just the headlight/corner light that's sitting incorrectly. There's a gap under the corner lamp. I had the same problem (but worse ). https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=437928

Its the headlight/corners... they're ghetto rigged in there. The previous owner did horrible things to this poor EJ2

Yeah, the corner lamp and headlight is way off, looks like the corner is pointed upwards, but the car looks 100 times better, what a difference. Love the multiple dzeus fasteners on the lip of the car before

sadly enough, they're still there. the lip has holes in it because of them so i suppose its ruined. until i can find a replacement, it stays.
