I LOVE this car. Beautiful in person at Nopi, and I've seen it on H-T a few times. I wish you lived closer so we could do a shoot!

Throwback to '06?

whooooooaw that is one helluva big exhaust. ibky on one side, though? not feelin the black trunk, either. looks more like a spare part than carbon fiber, which is the look I'm assuming you're going for. otherwise, looks great, and pretty mean.

Those mirrors are smaller than those on the Evo in Tokyo drift, are thay any illegaller?
do you have any backseats?
next thing: REAR-DRIVE CONVERSION!
and if you did all those things to your car, you cannot have any excuses

Its the HKS carbon Ti...fairly popular choice among car guys..sounds wicked too. The mirrors are supposed to go on a DC2 integra and are very tiny! I used to use them a lot but now i have a 17" rearview mirror that provides me with enough vision where i dont have to use the side mirrors. The interior is entirely gutted except for the door panels. Entirely as in carpet, pillar panels, headliner, seats, all gone. No rear wheel drive conversion.

haha thats funny i was telling Scott to put the shine on but both the cars are dirty in these photos due to stage 3 water restrictions over here in the carolinas. Imagine it not raining but maybe 4 times in the span of 3 months and thats what has been happening over here.

thanks! the car has changed a lot over the years and it used to have a cf hood, if you search my username there are probably 200 pics of it. I put the oem hood back on because the clear coat was diminishing on the cf one. I kept the spoiler white because i thought it might have a neat effect, but my friend keeps hounding me everytime to paint that damn thing black haha,

yeah this girlie is gutted almost all the way.

Damn i miss the rain. The other week it actually rained for once and i washed her in the rain and put her in the garage to stay dry until the next day when the sun came out.

And i think his username is woo or something. I opted to trade him my wheels plus some cash because gold is hotter than bronze.

yeah i keep bullshitting around about doing the intercooler, but i'll get around to it eventually. Actually i think OMP Prelude is in the process of constructing one under his hood, so he'll have the first one.

Nice pics, Eric.

As for the lack of a clean car, I just found out the self-serve carwashes have business exemptions...washed mine at the shady one on South (across from Harrelson Ford) yesterday...it looks like it's supposed to after three months of looking . Now if I could just sell these damn wheels...

Thanks! you might be one of the few who actually like it!

Its fairly simple just cut the beam the supports the acura emblem and then insert a sheet of mesh behind the opening. Attach whichever emblems you want to the mesh.
