Your car is freaking ill man! I love it! LOVE that gray and black color scheme you got going there. Reminds me of the Reventon. Even the Lambo doors work with it! Also like how you put on the '97 gauge. Should have blackhoused the headlights with the Infinity j30 projo retrofit though, that would have really let to black flow to the front.
Why no front pics??

uhh, lots of different directions here, kinda overdone IMO
what kinda stuff do you have done performance wise?
and the seatbelts confuse me... they just have a normal clasp like the regular seatbelts? and they just bolt up to the stock seatbelt bolts?... never seen seatbelts like that before
...and why j30 projectors... aren't those late 90's why not go for some tsx or tl's?
other than that i like the exterior would look even better slammed to the ground

shnee

go lower

Appreciate it ghetto ninja. I am goin 2 blackhouse the headlights, I'm just still trying 2 draw up the schematics for the led lights imma put inside of them so I can do it all @ one time. As far as the seat belts I took them out and put the factory seatbelts back in. I'm gonna dye the blue parts on the seats grey so it will match completely. I didn't wanna slam it cuz I'm gonna be puttin on the lip kits soon. I just wrapped sum of the interior in carbon fiber. Ill have pics up soon so y'all can see it. It looks good. Btw I am goin for the lambo reventon look inside and out.

car is looking good, and the gold calipers set it off nicely

dm8701

they are 18"s. the paint color is phantom grey

wheel fitment reminds me of switchfootz, looks good, but would set it off if that tire kissed the fender.

dm8701

Love everything about the car, but those vinyl racing seats just look cheap and ghetto, they don't match anything

f22vtec

how do u dye the seats? im interested in dying rsx leathers gray since they dont make em.

mitch14

^camber doesn't eat tires, toe does
i have up to -3 degrees of camber(i'm on coils, and no camber kit) and there's barely more than usual wear on them, because everything else is in spec, like toe and caster
...sorry to highjack your thread, just can't stand when ppl blame small amounts of camber for tire wear

GhettoNinja06

Ooooooooo faillllllllllll.......



That's with -3 degrees camber...

-3 deg is "small amount of camber?"

MoSp33d

not liking the seats but def. cf hood and trunk is in order

switchfootvz

iTrader: (6)

Is that a insult?

GhettoNinja06

iTrader: (1)

I hope he means -.3 deg....

dm8701

well theres a fabric and vinyl store here that makes vinyl dye. once im done with them they will match everything. " keep in mind that my car is still in progression mode and the only reason why i put them in undone is because of its great weight reduction. plus everybodys car ive seen so far still has stock seats and i strive to be different." .....now,....as far as my toe angle goes i cant find anyone around here to do my toe angles foward because everywhere i go they are sayng i need a camber kit because of the independent suspension and the rims. so... go figure. im glad ghetto ninja posted those pics cause thats exacty how my tires were looking before i raised the car up a little.

my last car had tire wear close to what what posted, with no camber on it whatsoever, just had a horrible alignment job and probably way out of spec with toe etc..
the cl however got it's coils installed and aligned by a honda dealership, therefore after it was done, everything was in well within spec except for the camber obviously

i didn't say that, i said he was blaming his tire wear on his small camber issues, i'm assuming his camber was less than -3 degrees as that's the most that ppl have claimed to have on this board IIRC.. Referring to less than -3 degrees as small may have not been the right choice of words
-3 degrees is what i have in the rear, probably more now, since i lowered it a little more after the alignment, i've driven 25000kms(over 15k mi) this summer on my current setup, and have nothing close to the tire wear posted. Note the tires have been used for atleast 2 seasons before aswell. I can account for some inner tire wear to my fronts rubbing on the inside of the wheel wells because i am so low though

f22vtec

nice color man. but doesnt the lambo kit add mad weight too?

dm8701

nah man they dnt. they probably added 6lbs. but it is well compensated due to the fact that i cut alot of weight when i replaced my seats wit the buckets.
