Robb,

Great Job....you've gotta ship it out west for some of the upcoming shows.

We have some pics posted on the A&J site, we won a handful of JDM trophies and best Team Representation at Import Showoff in Vancouver

Hey, what's up Astro...
Damn... with a thread like this and a topic saying "HOT or NOT" didn't you expect to get ripped!?

I like your car, with out a doubt... its your creation, with your thoughts and your tastes... as mine is full of things that i like and many others dont...

The only things that I personally do not like are: Flames (I know they were only a test), the handles shaved, the use of vinyl, and some equpiment you used...

All of tose are strictly matters of taste and preference are not to knock the craftsmanship or integrity of you or your car!

Here are the reasons: The flames, if it were me, and if you continue them maybe you will take tis idea, should cover the entire nose of the car up to just before the front door and extend into rear doors, in the stock pearl white paint with added orange pearl so that they are STRICTLY GHOST!!! and shine with the angles!!!! The handles I think as a 2-dr car thing... a 4 dr is a little large to do that too... I like Fiberglass over vinyl... its not as common... I think having a piece that looks like part of the car (pianted body color) is more attractive... and I personally just like to use different equipment but I am also sdponsored by PHOENIX GOLD so... I am biased towards the use of PG!!!

but anyway you stole the show at PAA so regardless of what people say and think.... besides its a show car.. you have to live with both positive and negatives reactions!!!

Robb,

You should just ship the car out, we have a couple of more hi profile shows. Import Revolution and Import Fest. We will also be going to Extreme Autorama in WA and Boom 2002.

Thumbs up

But guys the car does look good I saw it in person at the PAA meet last week. The flames are not for me but as someone said it has a ghostly look. The pictures don't do the car justice it looks good. Everybody has an opion I think it looks good. But someone here might not like my factory gold kit on my NighthawkBlack with gold exhaust tips & front grille. I love the tips & gold ACURA letters in the back with 3.2TL. The grillle is another story sometime. I saw my almost twin today same color & he had the gold tips & the grille. I had to say that car looks good & it was not mine. He needed to put some Zaino on it to make it shine & bring out the color.

Astro- You asked what we'd chage with the system. Well, the leather work looks like ass to me to tell you the truth. The headrest monitors could be bigger(i'm basing this on your endless amount of money supply) and cleaner. They look all wrinkled. Then I saw the PS2 install and it looked like crap also.

I also agree with the amount of money that you spent Fiberglass would have been player. I also agree with StylTLS that one tone would have been cleaner.

You covered the new rims. For show, I'd go with some air ride. I dunno if you take quick turns though. Oh, how does the system affect the handling now?

Other than that, the car is tiiiiiight. I'd go without the flames also.

OH yah, last question. What kind of box is that?
