Yeah it is very hard to paintmatch the white. Paint is lookin' fresh though. Car looks great but about the chin thing, I would just lower the front more and put on the sides when you can, it looks incomplete without it.

I'm looking to get a decklid spoiler, where did you pick up yours from? Oem is too expensive so I can settle for 'oem style'.

Summer mode looks fantastic, ttk5. Are there any drawbacks to not having center caps on the wheels? I was thinking about removing mine but wasn't sure if rain or dust would have any negative effects. Do you use a special lens for your photos? I noticed Kowloon mentioning he needed new lens.

Anyway, nice job. Maybe I'll take my summer road trip to Vancouver this year (actually did this in winter '06 and it was torture in a '98 Camry!).

Hmmm, now that I see the pictures again, I think I'm going to agree with Killer a bit.. The rear looks a bit too much for me! I'd prefer Aero/Mugen/stock but your car still looks bloody good nonetheless!! How's your side skirt going?

Drawbacks to having no center caps? Looks ugly lol..thats pretty much it. The OEM wheel center caps almost fit so hopefully some cener caps off a honda 15" or 16" might fit.

For my pics I just used the regular 18-55mm kit lens. Everytime I save up enough money to buy a new lens I end up just spending it on my car ugh. Id love to get the sigma 10-20mm though, or a 35mm 1.4 prime lens. What camera did you buy again?

I totally agree with you. The aero bumper/mugen looks much cleaner but its unaffordable. Skirts are going ok..gotta couple quotes from a few stores but still havent found the right shop. Thanks for the compliment though...sounds like there will be some changes made to your car pretty soon too.

Ohh ok! I'm interested in how it's gonna look! I'm not sure weather or not I should just get mud guards or get a kit. Initally, I was going to get the Aero skirt and rear but then I was thinking just mud guards and now I'm back to contemplating between the two!! Any suggestionss?

For now, I'm saving up money for coils and on the side, I'm trying to do little cosmetics like window visors, roof spoiler (not sure yet) and red Honda badges! Though I bought ugly OEM ones in Australia that are chunky whereas the OEM ones in America etc are more slim, so I'm trying to get rid of mine and purchase the ones online (Heeltoe/eBay).

Car is looking awesome ttk. The fitment is the best I've seen so far for a replica kit...rear looks almost perfect, but the color looks a bit off. The rims are a great addition.

i do love the stock aero kit (sides and rear) but i have mudguards, and i just looked at em recently on a wax job and they are FUCKED up. if you live in a rocky area like i do (nj turnpike...god damnit) then maybe itll be useful lol

Nah, I won't have any trouble with gravel/rocks/dirt unless I'm going camping or something and that's rarely with the Euro! The skirts and rear are gonna be costly though ):

Washed my car and took a few pics to show the few changes. Its just my rear lip and my front grille; it was finally repainted professionally! My wheels are off because I am in the process of selling them. Camber kit and coilovers are ready to go, fenders are rolled..just need the wheels. Anyways, some pics I took just now. All comments are welcome good or bad. Took another side shot for you to ed..showing the "chin."
























cell pic of what i wake up to every day. its like torture

knob is from twm performance. it is the m1 abrams knob..it weighs close to a pound. the install was very easy..hardest part is getting that nut off the shift lever. i went with this knob over other knobs this style cause this one threads all the way down...so its sitting as low as possible.

In the most recent set of pics with my grey works, I had
243/35 in the front and 245/40 in the rear. They were mismatched because I needed to replace the rear and my friend had these available. I really liked the 245/40 actually because it filled in the tire-fender gap really well. I was almost tucking, just on springs.

^ lol i meant 245, not 243.

I found a new set of wheels I want to buy and I am going in for a test fit this thursday. 275/30/19 on them now so it will be interesting to see how wide the CU2 can go. The wheels are mag blue ..I could potentially have them on my car as early as next Sunday if the tires work. Most likely they wont though ahaha..275's...yea right
