Girlfriend is a cutie. Not looking too happy in the pic though. Is that what the 3 rotor conversion does to our women, **** them off? I should post up a pic of my wife - the look would be the same

Seats looked like they turned out great.

What cd player is that? Fits the interior very nicely.

yes please do... i expect the same angry look (though im guessing you havent asked her to help fit the carpet or roll on sound insulation. i should get her a thank you gift for all the nonsense she puts up with ... problem is i have no idea what to get her .

the cd player is a nakamichi cd700II ... its the most-stock looking cd player i could find with amber backlighting. plus its one of the best head units for sound quality. no frills, and all the dials are strictly analogue, with the preamp and other electronics banished to an auxilery box so the electrical noise wont effect the sound.

A quick search on google put that deck at $1200-1500

Visually, it looks like a great choice. Features sound great as well. Nice selection

Who did the widening of your wheel? I always wondered if that was something that could be done safely.

The thank you gift should be nothing car related, I can tell you that. My wife says she doesn't want to hear anymore about the car until I come home driving it.

Looking great, any plans to paint the irons and work some of your polishing skills on the rotor housings? It's good to see another rotorhead with patience to see their project thru. -Matt

I know all about the pissed off spouse/ girlfriend thing. The car takes attention away from them, my new rear bumper is arriving today and the wife is pitching a fit. That all changes when their along for the ride, just don't tell her how much you spent.

I already have a general idea how much money he wastes on the car.
He doesn't have to lie to me, we aren't married.

Ouch. As a side note, my wife knows how much I've spent also. It's painful.
