You can put kitty back in, but clean is good.

So, you say the bumpstop broke on the car, or sping perch?

Thanks. The white on white looks good, I'll see if I can find a picture of a similar set-up. The springs/coilovers are Ground Controls. It's Eibach's distributer for thier race springs on a really nice perch. Got a full set for $285 (shipped), less than OE and lower spings..

I'll edit Kitty in later.

The Stock Shocks w/Ebay Coilovers had no bump stops, so it HURT when it bottomed out. So, I went to Honda and ordered new ones ($75, Expensive. Nothing's better than OEM though). Dropped them on. Only thing original is a couple of bushings, the bolts, and the top hats.

A new set of bushings would really tighten that car up. Goob, or goog? Mayb Moog, from what I've read they make among the best poly bushings. Just grease them like mad when installing and they'll stay quiet.

Dig the white wheels too.

Eh, the rear end already feels tight. If I ever tear the suspension out again (Front is a PITA!), I'm painting everything and going spherical. But at that point it's gonna be a rear disk brake swap (and trailing arm swap) and shiny LCA's going in. But, I don't have money (or time, needs to be done in a few hours) to change anything more.

White wheels are sweet.

Dun want JDM look. I like the clean look. This is the JDM (expensive) look...http://passwordjdm.com/Images/Galler...Ben/Index.html

It's also expensive. Fog lights in the above link run like $300, front end is like $1200, rims are like $1700 (new)... The above rims are Spoon SW388's, which are basically re-painted Desmond Regamaster Evo's...

Woot! Double post! Not really...

Wheels aren't on the car (it's raining...), but will be on 2mro morning, and then it's alignment time... Here's some 'mock-up' pictures though, and I'll get real ones 2mro.... The sidewalls are a tad big, didn't think about it until the tires were on there. Tire size is 205/50/15... One size smaller on the width (can't find smaller on the sidewalls), and the sidewalls would be smaller. But whatever, more width = more traction, right? And I need lots to put the monster horsepower this thing makes. Lol.

Stripped the tint of the fronts, thought about tinting it again. But the $200 spent on it could go to an alarm instead...

They're okay, but the wheels where heavy (noticable!) and I didn't like the black. Old tires were almost down to the wear bars and really sucked. And it was time for some change....

I thought about it, but don't have the pocket to do it.
Next big thing is either a intricate alarm or new hood/fenders....
I'm thinking normal white fenders and a black hood...
And then a black vynil on the roof for the panda look..

those rims make your car look sooooo much better. i don't know if it's the inner ricer in me speaking, but i think a CF hood of some sort would look sick on your car....though it looks pretty badass as is.

No, it's real life. I'm too broke for a $600 CF Hood, so a *used* black or white hood and *used* white fenders will have to do... The car in the below picture is EXPENSIVE.... $600 Hood, $350+ Fog Lights, $700+ Rims, $500+ tires, lip, fenders, upkeep, all that. But one of the cleanest. I was aiming for it, but with white wheels I'm going in a diffrent dirrection. Panda Time!

You can grab a set of amber fogs online cheap. Wont be true JDM, but with a few tweaks you can make them look nice. You seem to know what you doing though, so I will simply say I cant wait to watch the progress.

Side note: why dont you just paint the hood and roof black yourself?

Psssh! Cardboard is so nineties! Its all about the plywood these days!

+1 on painting it yourself though.
