Pics from the local speed shop's open house.













































Even saw a couple Acuras too (can't help but think mine could've held its own with them).....




















Oh, and this is what a trip to Home Depot with your wife does to your truck....haha.

Cool, cant wait to see what you got and what you do with it. I remember you did it well with your old 3G. You still in town? Thought i remembered you moving far away somewhere?

I think RJ moved away, then moved back. I saw his 3G at the dealership when I was getting my dash replaced.

This color combo looks sick. Got me thinking about yellow calipers.

Just checked his out. Look decent. I think the brightest, obnoxious yellow would combine great. I've been considering the bronze-ish color for a while too.

Yeah, me too...honestly, if my clear coat hadn't been peeling off the oem black...I would have left it as is.

Yeah, that's my current solution (fresh coats of high temp clearcoat about every 6months) and it is so easy and clean looking....but a bit more pop would be welcomed too. I like your silver and black combo but i love using the silver on the hub and such (looks sooo clean) that i wouldn't get the contrast. Almost did red once (even bought the paint) but its just seems so couple decades ago...no offense to anyone.

Fk red...I hate it...after having it on my 97 accord, I'll never do it.
Thanks, man...
I like the louder colors, and I'm obviously in love with the teal. I think behind the aspecs, black/silver was kinda necessary to keep it stock looking. now that you have wheels, I see why you want to make them pop a bit more. I don't think you can go wrong with bronze/orange/yellow.

Yeah i think any of those would look good with the color combo i have. I just gotta find time to mess around with it. Been so hard to find time lately. Life is getting in the way of my modding.

That's my plan when I get my spacers in, installed, and before slipping the new wheels on.

I guess yellow it is...I would think about adding a yellow something somewhere to tie it in, nothing TOO loud, but something. Yellow with the black or cf brembo sticker. I think we just decided for your

Brevard County....really close to the side of the NASA complex where the Space Shuttles used to land when they landed in FL.


Got to find a way to take better pics with my cell phone though. They never do it justice...not even close. Dont think i'll get into the high end cameras but at least a bit better cell phone pics would be nice.

So i've been considering selling this pretty beast. Its funny because i feel pretty guilty about even considering it. Nothing wrong with it. Runs incredibly great. Looks great. Sounds Great. Its got 145k miles but every single thing still works right. I'm coming up on a pretty big change in career where for a year or two i will probably make half of what i currently make. I've got a couple bucks in the bank to help until my income comes back up so i dont really have to sell it but i almost feel like i should sell it. Since times will be a bit tight for a while it feels like it would be irresponsible to keep it. Anyways not convinced yet so no for sale sign going up yet. As i've said before i dont think ill take the time to part out so someone is going to be very lucky if/when i decide to sell it. For the moment i'm still thinking about it and feeling guilty for doing so. Haha.


PS---the other funny thing is that at the same time i'm considering selling it i'm also thinking about swapping out to cleared headlights. Haha, mod life never ends.
