anyway...hope ya like it...i do...i cant tell u how many people tell me to finish painting my car...they just dont get CC....haha

Ok.....You said that you have a B16.......that's actually a D.

Also, the carbon fiber is nice, but a lil too much for me ( coming from someone with too much c/f himself LOL ) I say paint the fenders or just replace them with some oems...

other than that, the rims look a wee big, but the car is clean. I like the whole front c/f vs the stock bumper on....

to CC....enjoi yoself

 

[wmertz]

ehhh... atleast you got carbon fiber

 

[TippinOver]

I feel bad for you brother if you were to get into an Accident Knock on Wood !!!

 

[TippinOver]

carbon fiber driver!!!

hell..i'm skinny...cf would prolly weight more than me...haha

 

[buff4lo]

i like everything but the rims look kinda funky other than that its nice

 

[Destroy]

..i cant tell u how many people tell me to finish painting my car.....haha

Probably because it looks like s**t.

 

[JL]

Probably because it looks like s**t.

Harsh, but there is such thing as overkill.

 

[TippinOver]

thats not what your girl said...

now serisously....why the hateing everyone?

i just want to learn as much as i can about these cars...this is the second damn website i've been to, tryin to find a good forum to learn from....

is the internet all about talking s**t now? is that it? i can tell you that i've been a member of the best f**kin forum on the net for two years, and noone would ever just call someone out based on the fact they dont particularly like the mods that has been done. its called respect. and if you HAVE to down me, why not just do it constructivly?

"the carbon fiber looks nice, but u gotta be really careful not to hit stuff...its no fixable" > "thats f**king retarted. u're an idiot...u're gonna kill yourself and f**k up your car"

 

[Jibber]

too much carbon fiber looks really weird..but gluck with her

 

[TippinOver]

^^^^ see guys? thats a fine put down....basically he said "you got too much damn money tied up in carbon fiber....it looks bad"

i dont want to be JDM...i dont want to keep it looking stock....

i like the fact that the rims look a tad big. I like the fact that half of my car is weave...i like the way it looks...

would i ever put it back to stock? maybe..possibly yes...in the future....taste changes all the time....its different...how many f**kin plain ass civ's, with cf hoods, euros, loud exhausts do u see every day?

this car was actually close to being sponsored at NOPI nationals by Carbon Creations...it actually showed at NOPI....theres nothing insane about it...its a smaller engine...the paint isnt wild...theres not a lot of interior mods...but its DIFFERENT....

I think the hatch is lookin pretty clean. It gots potential, um personally i like carbon fiber just not that much. And those rims are lookin a lil wierd i aint never seen those. Wat kind of rims are they? Good luck with everything
