red4's clean EJ8...

[red4]

got the new tails on last night. here are the pictures from this morning.

the one picture shows the OEM antenna block-off plate i put on, and you can see that i took off the hubcaps on one side. all of the steelies need to be painted black, but i'm trying to decide on whether or not to roll the hub caps. i'm leaning towards not.

paint for the side skirts is in the future, but the front bumper probably won't see any. i've decided its going to be my junker bumper since the paint is already messed up, and i'll eventually step up with a new OEM or SiR bumper and a better quality front lip.

i have a rear disc conversion from an Si waiting to go on, as well as Eibach Pro-Kit springs and Ominpower LCA's. i just need to order my KYB AGX shocks, and then i will get the thing lowered.

let me know what you guys think.

paint the lip

 

[Jezek]

Looks better with the hubs on....

but damn, for some reason your car looks BEAT ( no offense ) lol

Paint the lip and sides and drop da b***h, and you'll be sittin much better...

probably looks beat because its damn dirty, needs a wax, side skirts are scuffed up, wheels are a little rusty, etc. etc. lol.

hopefully some paint is in my car's future.

lol, i got the same hubs! i think you might as well paint your front lip with your sides, it'd match and look a lot better and be cheaper if you decide to do it in the near future.....i wish i had your tails .

Put the hub caps back on that looks ghetto. You sides need some paint or some back to black.

 

[banzai]

def. rock the hubs. I have 03' civic sedan hubcaps, and it looks decent. Much less ghetto than steelies

Lookin good man. Youve gotta paint the lip and sides! And a nice drop, or just A drop in general wouldnt hurt.

good start but definitely keep the hubcaps on, some 99-00 Si wheels would look good on that car. That's the first time I've actually seen the antenna block off on a car before, cool man. Do you have one of the ones that goes in the windshield now or just no antenna?

i will be painting the lip/sides eventually, but the drop is first. just need my AGX shocks.

i like the Si wheels, but I think i'm going to go with some 16" 5Zigen FN01R-C's in hyperblack. i wouldn't mind having some si wheels to rock in the winter though. plus you can still fit NSX brakes under Si wheels, they won't fit my 14" steelies....

i won't be getting a brand new car anytime soon, lol. i said after college is done with. once i have a real job, lol.

 

[itsmycookie]

yeah i am thinking about selling my car, but i am gonna have to wait till i get more cash. gonna get me a crx one of these days. i dunno when that;ll go down but i figured there no need spending money on this one if i am just going to sell it in a year or so.

 

[red4]

updated pics! car was lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit springs, steelies were repainted gloss black, tires cleaned, car washed, new CV axles installed, and some trim pieces painted to match. :wink:

car is making a big turnaround from when i first got it.

and now you know what time it is.....comments!

Looks like your front bumper doesn't fit quite right... Also, new headlights are your friend (got my two week old oems for free. just had to wait for someone to be replacing new ones with aftermarket ones.). Oh, and Milano Red can look great, it just looks like yours has some oxidation. Take a day to detial her and you'll be alot happier. That will also make it easier to wash later (because it will feel like glass and s**t won't stick to the car so badly).
