Nice Rims
Has a lot of potential man.
Just remember to keep it simple. Just because someone on ebay puts "JDM" in the name of an accessory, doesn't mean it's cool.
As for that primer, I'm gonna give you a heads up from personal experience that primer isn't a sealer and it isn't waterproof. I would get it sanded, re-primed and painted ASAP before you do actually start getting rust on a car that seems to be in good shape.

Yeah, that's why I haven't gone to a car wash. lol
.I was planning on going to the local high school to get a paintjob, but I heard from someone else that they no longer do full paint jobs; and that they do more book stuff then hands on... I'd love to talk with the school board about that one someday. (Why do books when you can have people doing hands on experience?)
The end of last year the teacher told me to go for a Maco Paintjob... bleh.
Oh and I get my new headlights today, I noticed one thing; I thought that my angel eyes on my old lights just didn't work... ends up the kid didn't connect them up.
I really wish I had researched those stupid H4 Bulbs before buying them on ebay... waste of my money. (Yes I know, should either go for a real HID kit, or Sylvania bulbs) Does anyone know how to get them to work in a Projector style headlight? how to get them working... rather to get them fit and snug inside of them. I feel really stupid for buying them. Lesson Learned.
meh, its got potential..
nice ride man..
one thing bothering me..
the pic of your engine bay..i see..white at the place where the fog lamps would go..

These are the OEM style ones that require a box cutter to take out the two bottom "Air Vents" on the bumper. It requires some work, yes; but it's worth it. I found a whole thing online that
I managed to find some instructions (OEM) ; but they are on my laptop at home. I'll have to get it out for an admin sometime. It's a .PDF file though...
:EDIT: OHHHH that white stuff was actually some stupid mesh that guy before me put on the car with house hold black carpenter screws.... yeah... I took that off immediately.
BTW, I got my new headlights in today.
I'll show some pics soon.
People....oh man....what has happened to this forum...so many noobs these days. Pretty sure he was sying the headlights were gay...not the whole care...reporting him for saying ...gay...like preschool all over again.
overall the body is straighter than my car...but i dislike heads, tails, rims, engine dressup. When I first got my car I thought all these things were cool, but i'm glad I was too broke to do most of what i wanted. My advice would be to lower it some, and paint it. then slow down and research a lot about your car. I suggest googling ej1 and look at those. over time the stock or jdm style modified cars will become the most attractive.
please people do not take these things to heart! If I tell you your car is the worst car I have seen...let it roll off like water on a duck's back. The OP is taking the rough criticism the best ironically. I posted a harsh comment on another person's thread and they got all mad. When I post my car pics I expect to get some very very very rough comments about my rear fender...I'll get over it...it's the internet...grow up.
True, I'm a guy who likes tails, rims, lights that are decent, not over the top; no crappy fin on the back of the car that makes it look like a shopping cart. I'm slowly going to get my engine bay nicer. Next thing I want is a black top for it, the silver top corrodes too easily... The new headlights I have are just plane nicer... the angel eyes stand out, and that is what angel eyes are meant to do in my opinion.

jesus..
It's lowered in the front, the rear has nothing... I don't know why... the kid never got to it. Besides if I lowered it anymore then it is now, I wouldn't be able to get it on a lift... lol
Good start. I vote for paint next.
hey guys sorry about that s**t my little bro went on my computer... but ya that shits neat
And you're full of s**t. I get on lifts just fine.

That's why you use something to help it. Worked on in a shop just after highschool and we had VERY low cars and trucks come in all the time. If they needed to go on the post lifts we drove them on blocks first to get the arms under. If they needed to go on the rack lifts, we put 2x4's or 2x6's down to give it a different angle. You can be scraping your exhaust and still able to get it on a lift.
My old bug was so low, I had to drive it up on a couple of 2x4's just to get clearance for a jack.
Just use your brain and common sense.
