h22 goodness... all over again! (shes back!)

[PhntmSk8r]

Well, i finally got my car back from the bodyshop after a month and a half. The bumper doesnt quite match, but whatever. Everything else quality wise is AWESOME. Im now planning to get my car repainted about december-january of NEXT year (07-08)... kinda playin with a few different colors right now.

Here are the pics, i know, they're Acura Teggy hubcaps... i like the hubcap look better then the steelies look, so i figured i might as well throw um on. They're ghetto painted right now (previous owner), but i plan to strip them and re-paint them a gloss black or gunmetal... or somethin.

Here are the pics:

I also have another new goody that was just added to the bay tonight, and i'll have pics of the new headlight bulbs here soon... Next IMMEDIATE fix is tie rods. Im so sick of the vibration, plus horrid alignment.

i would rather rock steelies...but since your going to paint the wheel covers

is that how your rear bumper sits, or does it need to be adjusted ?

the rest of the car looks good man, keep up the good work!

i got plans... and once the plans go underway ill start a buildup thread.

My x-mas present to myself: Rear disc conversion (complete), spring time will bring: Brembo blank's (f/r), hawk pads, extended studs, new wheel bearings, ball joints, camber kit (f/r), new wheels either rota auto-x's, or circuits 8's... black with polished lip no matter which way i go, JDM thin moldings, jdm window visors. Trust me everything else will be done before a respray. Starting january ill be working full time and bringing in sufficient money.

Oh ya, i ordered my inner/outer tie rods for both sides today... muahaha! $100 for everything, damn im happy i have connections with the manager at napa.

More new pics... as previously stated, the hubcaps are going to be re-finished in either gloss GM or gloss black. I also got a heatshield for my header from my buddy with a 5th gen prelude... picked that up off him for FREE. I also finally got around to re-locating my VAFC today, so now i really need to get the Single Din Blockoff plate. (forgot to get pics of the VAFC relocation, but ill get um soon enough!)

Here are some pics from last night/today.

lol these pics suck compared to most of my others, just some quicky driveway shots. But thanks.

Im usin an Olympus D595 3x zoom, 5.0mp. I plan to upgrade to an Olympus 7.1MP here sometime soon.

Im very happy with the Olympus line. I dropped my current one off my dirtbike at 35mph or so, and it slid into the edge of a little puddle. It has a scratch on the LCD, but it still takes flawless pics, and works fine.
