It's hard to get pictures of the damage I discovered underneith. The unibody warped under there pretty good. The front seat scooted all the way forward is when you can see it. the floors amost touching the bottom of the seat, my back seat the clip wont connect now cause of it, and then the wrinkles on the side. I was told if the unibody is warped at all I can't sell it? And besides, all the things I'm doing won't be permanent. I'm still undecided on the hood ride look but I just feel like fixing the car would be worthless if I just plan on winter beating it.

That's no fun. It's like asking why have your car so low, your destroying pans, lips, etc.
oh no no no. quite different. see you have two cars, i do not. so this money you are spending could be put into your other car and make it nicer....if i had a second car, i would keep one stock

^I'm doing that.
I will gain another EM1 in a few months, keep it close to stock (mild drop and wheels). Drive it. Build my current one.

If it's still driveable, just daily it and build the other one/save it for nice days. Just my $0.02 though.

Well fine! :(

In other news, I decided I'm not gonna hood ride the Silver Bullet. I'm just gonna lower it and keep it clean. Might paint the rims back after the lowering. I'm gonna sticker bomb the trunk though still.

I like being different! Nothing but muscle cars and lifted trucks around here. Only import kids around here at rotary and DSM kids. The Honda scene here is almost nonexistant. In my city anyway. But if I'm gonna rep all year I might as well stunt both times. The X and tow hook toy have been removed. Did some little paint touching up on the ass end. Searching for a new bumper now.

You convincing bastard! You can't tell me if I did this it wouldn't look tight!



This looks like something you see at one of those art shows when they grab stuff from the dump, glue it together and try to sell it, BAD IDEA!
