Simple green, a tooth brush, mothers aluminum polish, and a small wire brush. Maybe a few other things but that's the major stuff.

I just got done cleaning my engine again. I have to say it's cleaner then it's ever been. Those pics look like poo compaired to now. It's damn hard work to clean your engine good. All my nuckles are torn up IT's all worth it though.

Yeah i turned the backlighting off for the pic. You can see them with it on. I'm surprized no one has ragged on the color, now that i've said that i'm sure someone will. Thanks for the comments. Like i said the wheels will be changed in about a week. I should have them tue or wed, the i have to get tires. I'm thinking bridgstone pole position so3s i can get them for $338 195/50/15, has anyone seen them cheaper? This is from http://www.tirerack.com.

your car looks nice, very detailed engine bay...its nice to see someone take care of their car so much other than myself...i thought i was the only person that cleaned their engine bay frequently...those guages are cool too, im usually a fan of the JDM clusters, but yours are something different than the norm, and thats cool with me

I hopeing to get a 92-95 ex coupe front lip for a nice clean look. Maybe i'll be able to find one in good condition at a junkyard or maybe someone is stelling on on here.

Car looks good. The color is not my fav but since the car is so clean it doesn't look bad. Engine bay looks fantastic, and the drop is nice...really made a difference.

The lip is cool. Simple, subtle, and clean.

any ideas on what i should do next. Here is what's going on this week. skunk2 camber kit, new wheels and tires, and possibly the front lip. This is going to drain my bank account pretty good so it will be a while before i can do anything else.

Why spend the money on new rims, just paint the sheit you got, then get some amber corners and KJEG94 will confuse his car for yours - well, except the b16 and seats...

I'm just tired of these wheels, not to mention they are heavy. I'm thinking about the corners. Do you have pics of the guys car you mentioned?

I think it depends on how much you want to spend. Vision corners would be nice, but so would a paint job .
