Your car looks great!!

Nice job.

I like your site, I especially like how you showed progress pics and the like.

But if you ask me the immages should be in reverse order, showing the process from start to finish. Just a thought.

Very nice, the only thing i don't like is the tail lights, they look kinda dull on a car with that good of a body and paint.

Beautiful car. It looks much classier (is that even a word) than the slammed Hondas it's parked next to. More importantly, how does it drive?

Did you paint your car yourself? From the pics it looks like you did all the prep work. And DAMN i really like that body kit, i like the effect of the doors sunken in, your car really looks sharp!

i think the reason he didn't do that is because on cardomain everyone goes for looks and not quality of character. if he were to do that, he should post one new pic and then start with the rebuild pics and work up.

Thanks for the ups everyone. The taillights were done by me. They were the best I could find to work with. I agree they still need a little something. The wheels are TSW Fly's, They don't make them anymore. they were one year only. The body kit is Erebuni. I molded them in myself to give them a one piece solid construction look and they are also functional to the point of structural integrity.

Try and find this stuff called nightshade. Its like a spraypaint, and it makes watever u spray pitch black, but light iwll show through from behind still. So your tailights will look normal at night, as in they light up the same, but they are pitch black. its awesoem stuff

You've done a great job! But I hafta say that I'm not a big fan of the front-wheel drive style "outy" rims. I much prefer the look of deep dish wheels on the 1st Gen. But with that "objective opinion" said, I think it really looks nice!

EDIT - is there such thing as an "objective opinion"? hmmmmm

Very nice, clean, black looks good. I like the rims, but agree with Bob in that personally a deeper dish looks better.
Those are great shots, its worlds better than the cars parked around it. two thumbs up

Lose the clear corners in the rear for stockish ones though. Its a dark car with clear corners, the stock ones are already black and will match the paint instead of being a big ugly swatch of white.

Otherwise, very nice. Whats under the hood?
