did you get the undercarriage coated? and the inner wheel walls? just wondering because im in NY and im wondering if its going to be needed or seriously recommended because my future car will probably be my daily, until i can pick up another for cheap.
I would recommend it for sure. Winter's in New England anyway are super harsh on Honda's. Get it undercoated. Wheel wells I wouldn't. Just maintain cleaning them. And get rid of the rubber inserts on the rear wheel wells if you haven't, those will rot your car faster than going for a rat rod look.

Steelies look cool, the x on the headlight looks like it got punched it the eye, love it though, now if you had a tongue hanging out of grill, that would be funny.

you know why cars put the tape on headlights right? if for cars with glass lens, its keep them from shattering at the track if a rock hits em or somthing like that. just thought id throw my 2 cents of wisdom at you lol

VTECing in the winter is dangerous, lmao. Which is why I did it. Hahah nah I just liked the punched out eye look.

Small updates for now. Waiting on my parents to finally move into their house, so I can store the Green one, in the mean time, I got one of my Xmas gifts in the mail today! Mugen lip, rally flaps and Gohan card installed today. Gonna lower her I think next week. My dude said he'd install coilovers and weld the cat back on for 1 bill, so I'm stoked on that. What's a good drop for winter? I'm thinkin' 2 inches. Anyway, here's some pics.

haha ya damn goober.
but are they coil sleeves, or full coilovers?
im guessing just sleeves since its for the beater with a heater
50 dollar sleeves. I was gonna cut the ones I got, but I figure bouncy ride in the slush isn't too good.
 

crash!

Avi, pull your socks up.

:lamanana:

What's with the X on the headlight..?
It's supposedly the easiest step in rice rodding or hood ride making, so I deeed it. I decided I'm not gonna rust the hood anymore. I'm sticker bombing the trunk and gas lid, but the hood is now up in the air. Any suggestions?
