Default My Build Thread

Not really a "build" thread more like "pictures of my car as i went along" thread. enjoy. glad to see how far this section came big thanks to matt for compiling all this stuff for us.

i guess since this car was fairly new when i started building alot if not most of my time was consumed by aesthetics.

this is the first em2 carbon fiber trunk by ViS...actually got it as an early bday gift/test fit so that worked out. fitment wasnt all that great but it worked. my first set of wheels also.



this was basically the setup i had for a while


then got the first set of jdm headlights from password jdm. here's the pics from the test fit session.


along with my buddy brhino...he was the prototype for the CF trunk for the sedan as well


then got my volks. i love these wheels esp now since theyre discontinued. too bad i sold them.








then got my seat...and harness and stuff along with my rsx seat



eibach (forgot what year)



then got my new suspension set up and stuff





did a really cool shoot with my buddy armando...







16" ce28s for a second


then got these bad boys



some cool shots by diff photographers of its most current set up





last "real" shoot with coke in a can













and thats all...now the eternal debate whether to K or buy an s2

What exhaust do you have on your car? It looks different than most because the tip is not that big or at least in the picture it does not seem like it is...
