Reminds me of my old one. But I had a jdm Top Fuel kit on the whole thing, and Recaro SRD's.
Had some ghetto ass 16" Slipstreams too. Car got trashed after that.

nicee....got any pics of it?
Well...im still trying to get the car ready so I can bring it to Dereks house for the meet.
So far the front is bolted on and aligned to the best of my abilities. Still need to do a couple things here and there.
So I thought of a mod list of what i want in the next couple months.
Koni Yellows
GC tophats or custom extended ones
ASR purple Subframe brace w/ 24mm sway bar
Blox Polished RLCA
3PT front strut bar [undecided on brand]
X style rear bar [dont know what brand yet...its either $1000 for the real deal or $300 for a replica]
ITR Sideskirts & Rear valance.
and maybe if i can start saving for either building my own turbo kit or go Semi-built LS/VTEC

Well this weekend I finally got to drive my car on a little trip. I drove it around this weekend for about 200miles with no problems when i went camping. Except for that my alarm stopped working.
I Also put my mix match rim setup on it instead of the 16" TSW, since they started to rub. now my DA has the TSW on it with no problems at all. I couldnt even beleve they fit on my DA since its slammed all the way on my groundcontrols, and the TSW have 205/55/16 tires on it

I thought of that too...but when you only have 2hrs until you need to pack and get ready to leave for camping you dont really care...LOL.
When I got home today..i got tired of the green on the bumper so i quickly sprayed some flat black over it for now and i also installed my grill with the most common tool Zipties...LOL
I plan to sand the bumper down and paint it possibly thursday and if i have enought time i want to paint the lip part of the rear bumper flat black.

Well yesterday, when I was driving. The rear bumper thought it would be a good idea to come off while im driving and be dragged half a block.
I guess since one of the 2 bolts that was holding it on decided to fall out, probably b/c the idiots who stole it pushed it from the rear bumper. Now I have to head over to either the hardware store or te dealersip and get some new bolts to hold it one since it needs around 10 and only had 2. In the mean time it has one bolt and one ziptie.
