DAMN you got one clean ride. looks good man. how to see more of your project. whats future plans?

 

the reason you have to upload pics in replys is cuz hf is on a bandwith limit. sucks yes, but keeps hf free and whatnot.

very clean. are you going to do anything for the suspension to make it handle a little better or just maybe put new stock replacement parts in?

 

how did you refasten the door inserts back onto the door? i followed some diy instructions i found on hondatech to reskin my armrests and they said to use a certain type of screw but they were too long and started poking throught the door, so now i need new door panels.

if their to long then get spacers to make them even so they won't go through .

Yeah but im not into the whole drop your car thang i live in socal and the freeways and streets over here are murder. I don't know where you live but around my way isn't a place for lowered vehicles plus to many people raped the low look already and im not one to jump into a faze and swim with everybody, i like to stick to my game plan and focus on what i like and what i want my car to look like im not to worried about what the next guy thinks of my coupe :) but i do highly apreciate all the love i get from my fellow honda heads :)

 

 

here is a little update , Well i been thinking about putting some USDM corner lights back on my coupe cause i'm not feeling the amber ones BUT i do like the eg6 JDM corners allot so i went with that juat to see and test it out and i think it isn't to dramatic and flows just right :)

 

These are real STANLEY EG6 corners
