Your project is coming along nicely.
UPDATE
Finally received all my bushings for my rear disc swap, so I switched it all out. I installed the rear lower control arm bushing kit from Prothane, which was very nice with new sleeves and everything, as my bushings were seized to the bolts. I also installed a pair of Wicked Tuning rear toe arms as those bushings were also locked up. I used everything from a 96 Integra GS (complete trailing arms, caliper, rotors, pads and e-brake cables) and got new braided flex lines and Energy Suspension trailing arm bushings. I lucked out and got the entire disc swap with brand new never driven on pads and rotors for $100 locally and painted the calipers up (I know theres gonna be a ton of people that hate this, but I like it). I did a 4 wheel alignment and threw on my summer wheels and both lips and here's what I got :
Still need to get the windows tinted and the body straightened up a bit and then swap in the Y8 (I got a little anxious with my SOHC VTEC decals though lol). Critism is always welcome, positive or negative!

I'm not a fan of the headlights or the wheels, but I can't say much. I thank you do work, son.
So another update. I got some new tires for my wheels and went 1 size up to a 195/55R15 instead of the 195/50R15s that came on them, and now they rub in the rear. So now I am waiting for my fender roller to come in, so I threw on the wheels that I painted up for my black hatchback just until my fenders are rolled. Oh and they are 14" Integra GS wheels that I got from a friend and sprayed bronze. I also got a suction mount for my camera and started experimenting with rolling shots. Opinions always welcome, and keep in mind these wheels aren't staying, i'll go back to the other ones soon.
