my 96 ex coupe

[grimmz]

I bought this bone stock 96 ex coupe for $2k. runs and drives great, no rust, completely unmolested.




i got a set of slipstreams for pretty cheap. they need some touchup done, but not bad.





i also bought a 2000 front conversion. putting that on this coming weekend, along with an n1 muffler. i'll post pics up when i get it done.

Doesn't mean that he "hates" it, he just likes the newer ones better.

well, its been awhile since i've posted. been super busy with work... got new rims for the car. the guy i got the rims from had huge sidewalls on them. (as u can see) so hopefully some 205/45/r15's will make it look better. (looking into getting those when i can) and getting a carbonfiber oem trunk soon. should look pretty good when i get my si tails. i'll post more pics when i get more done. (decided to wait til i got lca's and the rest of the pieces for my rear disc swap before finishing my rear drop)
