True a lot of ppl do FEED front bumper or full kit...Anyway, I didn't go with that kit cuz it's cheap.. It's simply because imo it's the best looking kit out there. I loved FEED hood, bumper, fenders and side skirts but I preferred the pulled (flared) rear fenders look instead of going with FEED rears. I still need to get a GT wing probably FEED's one.

Furthermore, why would I pay 1700 for a bumper when you can get the same for 600? To be honest I really hate replicas but sometimes those "jdm part" prices are really stupid.

The only issue I have is people posting pics of their cars and everything is blurry and out of focus. Unless the shot is so great that its worth the unfocused pic, don't post it thats what I say. Take some more time and get the picture right. There are many people on the forum that do and the results always speak for themselves. Just taking a nasty and quick cell phone pic shouldn't cut it. I think it degrades from the other good pics.

Hahah yea JDM prices are pretty crazy but what do you expect, Japanese parts don't just show up here. I really wish they did .

i totally agree with you on those JDM prices

but please please please dont put a GT wing on...im not one of those guys that hates on GT wings, but for some reason i love the way your car look the way it is now...

the stock wing on there just looks perfect man

and i also totally agree with the pulled fenders...looks much better and yours is also properly done

but ye leave that stock wing on there man...it looks and flows perfectly

Cool mdpalmer pics.

Thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite more recent pics.

Cal Speedway, Fontana track day. Memorial Day weekend


Cal Speedway, Fontana track day. Memorial Day weekend. Meiogirl in front and a low, lean, and mean C6 vette piloted by DJDINO (former FD owner) behind me


Cal Speedway, Fontana track day. Getting ready to go out.


Cal Speedway, Fontana track day. Memorial Day weekend. Me in front, Meiogirl in back. Gettin' some sun in the parking lot.


Buttonwillow track day, last October. Buddy of mine from work rented out the entire thing for about 15 cars. Best track day I ever had by far! Trying to show how little the FD is compared to the other cars there.


Parking lot of aviation museum near Pomona. Meiogirl's car in front. I'm next to an old Camaro... I love shots of FDs next to other cars... makes you realize how tiny they are.


Another random pic of us getting ready for a cruise. I think this was a "hangover" run last year. I'm next to a Posh-Porsche 944. Always had a soft spot for those things.


Heart transplant. Dropped that 'ish in last night

If its a FD I like to look at it! Even if there is the same car on every page as long as the picture is at a different angle. Keep posting pictures curacaosfinest, ihavetwins and espessially herblenny (in fact you don't post enough pics.)

In the spirit of this thread, my stock bodied FD.............
^^ Beautiful... MB FDs are so pretty when they are clean. Love it man.. love stock body FDs!

Everyone needs to put their ego aside and remember that without a community this place will fall to pieces, like it is starting to do. Stock, aftrmarket, who cares, its still a FD. If you don't want to see it, dont come into the thread, how hard is that to figure out. Take your attitude somewhere else. Internet or not, show some respect.

Seems like most people love to be known as the A-hole of the forum cause there's nothing else to be recognized for.


Heres's some final before winter pics..... Last clean and Switching back to the stock wheels.

^^^ Rims looks so good,

Well I'm back in a FD! After 1 year and exactly a month. Just picked this up today. 94 Touring with a couple mods and rebuilt engine. There's a lot of little minor problems but i got a good deal.

Had to go on a mission to pick this up. Heavy rain and bald tires for 2 1/2 hr. The car was literally sliding all over the place but luckily i got it home safe.

mine were called cv-pro's (etched on the lip, and on the labels) but it looks like they were also called GRC's.

grc = cv-pro?
