CleanGSR Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 At first I was looking at those pictures thinking "It looks good, but I know Nate could've done a better job." Then I realized those were the 'before' pics. It looks fantastic now for a car that old. And that's coming from someone who despises red cars. EDIT: red matching bumpers would make it 10X better too IMO. Actually I've seen a lot of them with the matching bumpers (red) and I personally like the black better. When I get some black HX rims w/ red lip on there and get the thing lowered the bumpers will look 10x better on there. I forgot to mention...I got underneath the car with my impact wrench to see if the rear LCA bolts were seized. They both started loosening up just fine so when I get my suspension, installation should be a breeze. Even with the low mileage, I expected those bolts to be seized up due to the age. Lucky me.

Ben. Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Paint wiper arms please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Paint wiper arms please. It's too cold to paint, but as soon as I get a warm day I need to repaint the wiper arms (already on my list) and the trim between the front and rear windows needs repainted too (especially on the driver's side). Those were both on my list of to-dos as soon as it gets warm enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it.... :drool: I really want to stay with old school wheels/look on this car to kidn of fit the "era". HX's will look good but I'd even like something like an old school BBS style wheel. Post up pics of those black racing wheels you speak of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Nate if you do this before I end up doing this you need to do a DIY! Will do. Would be good anyway since I'm trying to document everything I'm doing to this car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 i have some sprint hart cpr's on special order from japan (special order because of the size, color and offset i wanted), that will take like one and a half months to get here form the jdm land. so once i get them mounted ill send them right over. might have to take off the kuhmos for shipping purposes. one has curb rash about 4 inches long, but can be fixed easy. i was gonna sandblast and powdercoat black but i was in a situation where i needed to mount them as is.

CleanGSR Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Nice. Those look like Panasports and yes, those would look sick on the ED6. Let me know when you get your CPR's and PM me how much you want for them. If you leave the Khumo's it might be worth it for me to pay more for shipping or something (unless your gonna reuse them with the CPR's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
