oh and this turbo kit is for sale if anyone is interested. I will post a forsale thread soon, but its 1k for everything. direct bolt on for d series motors. Wastegate is internally set to 8 psi, pulled hard, never had problems. LMK if anyone is interested...

Nice. Although being the person I am...I'd paint the intercooler black, remove cf hood, and add wider wheels

Really diggin' this pic

 

[singlecamEJ8]

[Genuine Rolla]

[xenoicity]

your car is sick nasty... good work

 

[Road Pirate]

thanks guys
yeah i was thinking about painting the IC black...still pondering the situation
yeah this is jdmej8 from jdmcc, whats up?
yeah i kinda screwed up with the whole headlight deal, but real ctr headlights are soon to come guys
but what do you mean 'clearcoat' my headlights? i did nothing with clearcoat on them...just did the black housing. but thanks for the comments, and yeah ill get some more pics, tomorow is another official photoshoot, (havnt done one since ive been boosted) so ill get some then. thanks

I actually really like it....the stance, the look, everything. nice.

 

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

whered u get the fmic? look exactly like mine

 

[Road Pirate]

Thanks Jezek. Im just trying to keep it clean. A few minor things are going to be added to the exterior..sidemarkers, real ctr headlights, and then i have an si grill laying around. But that will probably be about it for the exterior.
Thanks man

ebay lol. nothing special

Get some JDM power-folding mirrors, paint match all your trim/skirts and such and the exterior is golden...

 

[Road Pirate]

Thanks for the comment. Yeah i was going to paint everything, and get a stock hood so the exterior is real clean...but i love the contrast for now. Im looking to buying a sedan or hatch, (96-00) and probably going to make that my daily, VERY clean ride

UPDATE:
Sold the mugen style lip, going to buy si lip from honda, painted to match.

Unpainted lip is killing it, hood is throwing the car off for me. Looks clean though.
