Ahh thanks for that info and agreed...best by far.

 

Well I've already bought the kit and have it. It was a pretty good deal this guy gave me right before he moved outta state. So its just a matter of me installing it and getting the car sprayed...Oh and a new tail light. But I don't want to do too much to the engine right now b/c I'll be leaving for basic training for the Navy in Sept. so I won't have much time to do what I really want to do to the engine. So for now, I just want to get the body up to par and get it running decent for a lil' track time and DD.

 

Well, a few more updates. Like I said on the list of things I had planned for the car, here are some updated pictures.

1. Install Eclipse double din touch screen NAV unit
2. Install rubber style radio/AC dash trim
3. Set headlights at sleepy eye level
4. Do RX8 seats conversion
5. Install emission block off plates
6. Clean and paint intake manifold/alternator/rad. hose water neck back to stock silver
7. Switch Blitz turbo timer over to GReddy turbo timer
8. Repair body damage and install GP Sport body kit
9. Replace pass. window switch and get windows tinted to 35%
10. Replace left side tail light
11. Paint car Acura TSX red.

Got that left side taillight replaced.

Still working on that quarter panel.

2/3 of the body kit is installed.



Installed the Eclipse double din.

Installed RX8 seats.

Just a random dash pic.


Now this pasted weekend, I had a lil' body work bonding time with my girlfriend. Yea, she got her hands dirty too. Shes great.

 

Had to fill in a few dents.

Break time! No I'm not burning up a blunt. Its a cigarette.

Time to spray.




She likes to get "hands on" like I do

 

Isn't she sexy?








Back to it next day after the primer dried.

Installed the turn signals in the side scoops b/c they didn't fit in the factory locations. Damn aftermarket body kits.

 

And we're done for now. Continuing the rest of the car tomorrow and weds, then off to the paint shop in a week or 2.

 

i wanna see how the eclipse double din is gonna look like, installed and finished up

 

Yea, my boy is still fabricating a surrounding for it.

 

good build so far, my fc is in pieces right now and I cant wait to get it to the track, that poor car had a rough life before i rescued it.

 

Thanks. Its hard to keep it going when its my daily driver too. I wrecked my other car and this was on my back burner. If I didn't have the bills that I have, this car would be really nice but times are hard and I do what I can.

 

more pics of the rear end where its all dinged up.

 

you should be able to fit em in dude!! hows it not fitting in? can you trim the opening?

I need to get crackin on the bodywork on my car too.. i like ur rx8 seats btw.
lol im blasian too lol

 

blasian = black n asian? lol

 

Yea I can just trim it to make them fit, but by looking at the shape of the opening, I'm thinking even after I trim it, its still gonna have gaps on the sides of it. This kit is all f***ed up. But I can't complain too much for $300. Thanks I'm happy with how the seats turned out.
Thats whats up...us black and asians are hard to find these days. LOL.

 

Really? You want to see more of that?

 

Double post.

 

This is from the first page. How it used to look before the chent tried to pull it out.

 

so what does it look like now?
