Damn that looks awesome! Nice GT. I love the yellow fogs and the steeda ultralites.

Tony, nah not yet. I'm gonna try to finish painting tomorrow cause it's finally cooled down.

Prokiller, in the pics they are eibach pro kit springs cut about 1/2 an inch. Now I have SR racing springs on there from am. Good reviews and cheap so we'll see how they work. I wanna do coilovers so this is temp.

Jonbeast, thank you haha but no more yellow fogs/: I like them but every other Honda around here has them. Plus they don't go with what I'm planning.

To everyone else, thanks for the comments. I'll get some more pics and updates as soon as I can get rolling again. Powder coated wheels, tint, new exhaust, and painting my calipers is in the works:)

thanks for the compliments.

Made some progress today. Got most of my painting done but I still have the cowl, passenger side mirror, and wiper arms to do.
I painted everything a week ago but it turned out wayyy too glossy so I ordered 3 cans of SEM trim paint from Summit and it looks perfect.

Heres a close-up of the pony. I scuffed it and put a few coats of clear on it to make it look like it had a brushed effect.

Pics with the new springs. A little higher but the ride feels a lot better.

Side tracked myself with trying to make cardboard templates for a rear diffuser. Aiming for something along the lines of this...

2nd to last pic is that a pair of tweezers you have next to the mirror you painted black??? LOL

hahahah yeah in the middle of painting there were fuzzies all over the mirror so i used the tweezers to take them off then paint got on the tweezers so I painted it so no one would use them. lol (ended up haing to wait for the mirror to dry and sand it AGAIN becuase of the fuzzy stuff)
