Well...I've had my car for just about 1 year now. I've put a lot of hard work and money into making it look somewhat nice compared to stock...especially for being low-budget.

Feel free to post any Constructive sugestions about what to change and what to add.

at least there arent any altezzas .. lookin good

 

i was always told to answer with the first thing that pops into my head.....and well i think that thing looks ghetto as hell

 

if your sides and rear are painted you should paint the front lip also

 

i would lose the side skirts and rear lip , just my opinion. other than that it looks good

 

so one year and you just lowered it and put new headlights and lips?

 

i was expecting something alot nicer. how much "patience" does it take to put on some lips and make your headlights blue?

that rear lip looks really odd. im not a fan of those sideskirts

same here he makes it sound like he did the exterior, interior, and motor..so how much patience did u need for a lip and blue lights

 

Well...since I am out of work (1 1/2 years) and just goin to school...I make due with what I can come up with. I'm planning on gettin rims and a cf hood this year...and if possible do a HID retrofit into some Denji's.

As far as motor and suspension are concerned...I have my CAI from my Stealth(3000GT) which fit, GSR TB, had DC 4-1 but crushed them on accident, now have DC style 4-2-1, test pipe, JDM ITR B-pipe, Mugen Style muffler. Bought GC's and just got my KYB AGX's, and also have front and rear strut bars. Everything has cost me about $1,000 probobly more.

Oh...and I for got to mention...my H23 is in my gf's lude waiting for her H22 swap, and I'm also workin out a deal with my friend who crashed his Prelude to get his whole H22 swap. H23/Vtec this summer if possible.

I think you could have spent your money more wisely, but if you're happy

My gf got them for me as a pressent...so I gotta use them. Plus they are deffinately brighter than those POS ones that the guy before me had in there. If I could...I'd buy HID's...but I can't right now...gotta save up more money.

 

Slow progress is better then no progress am I right?

 

dude whats wrong with the hating....ever since i been on this forum all i see is flame wars and people not appreciate others........

he a good friend of mine...he worked hard for these mods...for having a girl friend and being a full time student who is jobless as of now...

he left the lip black for a reason too....he painted his headlight housing black, and getting a cf hood to make look more appealing... think about it all white car with just a plain cf hood is just weird tell me i am wrong u need something to off set it

 

 

Looks good to me...just needs some rims. But i'm not a fan of the rear lip or side skirts. But not bad

 

not feelin the skirts or the rear lip. you should try on some ek stock side skirts. my fren wit a ej1 has the same thing goin. its nice

I've got the camber kit...I'm just waiting to get the extended travel top hats for the shock towers from Benen if they still custom make them. After I get those...I'll install the shocks, camber kit, and get an alignment.

 

Guys dun be hating, at least he didn't rice it out. But all n' all, u shouldn't post up n' stating that title, cuz to many of us *including myself* thought this was gonna be some sick *** car. So expectation was high, n' seein ur car. was like a disappointment so that's why a lot of people are hating. But all n' all, keep it clean. put some rims n' change ur headlight n' paint ur lip.
