Sell it and start a VIP project, you need to experience a side apart from Honda/Acuras :rofl: :rofl: but its gonna be more expensive doing cars up VIP but so :bigpimp:

[Jlude]

Looks nice!

[Dj_Stylz]

Wow:bigpimp: Looks good

[89s1]

Very nice man.

Only question is... Any plans to run a front plate or do somehting about the lil holes and stuff?

[SpoonEG6]

lol

And thanks DJ_Stylz i usually see you car downtown when im leaving work. And your teggy looks hot with the roof spolier. i want your gold rims lol

Well when i sent my front end for paint i asked my bodyshop if they could sand it down and just fill it in but it would of been too much work so yeah im probably gonna throw a plate on.. But its not that big of a deal it doesnt bother me.

[SpoonEG6]

Oh and im gonna be selling my front ITR seats they are the USDM
ones but there red with the black stitching. I wanna pick up a pair
of JDM Recaros.

[rc2002]

Looks pretty good. I'm liking the black housing headlights - did you opt for the OEM HID? Some JDM ITR wheels or even 17" EP3 or DC5R would complete the car.

I'm really anal about panels lining up and it looks to me like a bit of alignment could be used in lining up the front bumper/hood/passenger headlight properly. I remember having to do it on mine too - moving the bumper support and adjusting the bolt positions on the headlight clips by the smallest amount made a huge difference in alignment. Could just be pictures and angles though.

White is such a bitch to colour match - it's never perfect. Even with the right colour code, the clear coat or even sunbleaching can throw it off.

[SpoonEG6]

Yeah there OEM Black housing headlights with the HID's. And that was another thing if i keep the car, im puzzled on what rims to put on. I dont mind the red rota's but i think its time for a change.

Yeah the alignment is a little off, but since im sending it in to my friend's shop to get repainted he's gonna align everything and paint the whole car. It was a pain when i got the parts back and the paint wasn't matching. But as i said its going to the body/paint shop over the winter so during spring it will be all aligned with a fresh coat of paint.

[infected]

Nice :thumbsup:

[mutsuraboshi]

YOU! :devil:

[Aleks]

Looks really good! Did you have the compression checked before you bought the car?

[Sorath]

omfg! that car is so sexxxxyyyy

[SpoonEG6]

Yeah i did have the compression checked and it was 200 on all the cylinders.

any susuggesgestion for what rims i should get next? i want something more along the lines that someone doesnt already have, or unique.

How much were you thinking of letting go of the USDM ITR seats for?

As for your HIDs, are you using the stock JDM projectors? Any pictures of the cutoff line?

Beautiful looking car by the way. Very clean!

EDIT: Just re-read your post and noticed you said your ITR seats are RED w. BLACK stitching. Can you confirm that? I'd be interested if the colours were were the other way around.

[b18c1]

change the rims to some jdm itr 16", keep the seats if your going to buy recaros though

I'm not to sure on a price yet. I've been told if i were to sell my seats on HondaTech or pretty much any where in the states i could easily get around $1000.. But that it only cause the states never got the Red USDM ITR seats.

And yes for my HID's i'm using OEM Projectors. Unfortunately i dont have any pic cause the car is in storage right now. But if this shitty weather clears up ill try and get some pics taken.

Yes my seats are Red with Black stitching. It only came in the 01 ITR's I'll try and snap some photo's tonight.

I'm personally not really a big fan of the 10 spoke ITR wheel's only cause so many people have them. If i were to keep the seats i would have no place to store them. Is this dave by the way?

[7thgenvic]

Keep the wheels the car looks great! Work on engine mods! and Keep the seats! If anything shop around honda-tech and get a killer deal on some brides!

Thanks, When i picked up the car there was already comptech header and exhaust, CAI, Pulley's, Cam's, Hondata. But i'm planning on changing the cams and throwing in Toda Cam's and valve springs. and probably change the header&exhaust.

I remember looking at your car when it was for sale lol. i used to drive the Black 325ci.

[JKL@STRD]

wow car looks HAWT!! i didnt know u got a JDM front

[SpoonEG6]

haha yeah, weren't you there when i picked up the hood and lip? lol. I would of expected you to comment that it wasnt low enough haha. But thanks lol too bad i cant drive it anymore cause of this gay weather lol.

This is true. I used to always have people asking me to part out the 01 CDM seats. You should keep them. They are rare.

Yeah after hearing it i think i might ill probably just buy the recaros and store the ITR seats somewhere.

[SpoonEG6]

The TE37 is my favorite wheel for the DC2, I used to own a DC4 and it was my dream wheel.

The only downside is how many knockoff TE's there are. Rota Grid, SSK 031, Spun "T.A.", and Konig Countersteer and there is probably more, so if you spend the 2g or more on the real thing (used bronze ones are $1500 with tires approx), people might assume you have knockoffs.

Not sure if all the knockoffs came in 5 lug though, so you might end up with something pretty unique after all.

Very nice teg btw. :hitit:

tyty, yeah im still liking them but ill still look around.
I also like the Volk CE28 in white with the red lip.

[ZorroAMG]

Here's what I'D do:

CF Side skirts to level out the car
Paint the front lip and sideskirts except for a little line at the edge, leave that CF.

For THE win.

^^ nice chop

[Madspinner]

Yeah car looks sexy.

[88CRX]

That car is begging for some 16" Volks..... RE's, CE's or TE's would all finish the car! Any color would look amazing.

However, either way car it hot regardless..... champ white type R's :drool:

In ALL honesty a set of Time Attack TE's would make your car just pop...

I'm pretty sure you can't get the OG black/red CE time attacks anymore. :dunno:

You can still find black/red TE's or go for the new white/red CE's.

Agreed. Do it up.

I don't like the whole black with red lip to honest... Black or white wheels, Jackie has the best idea so far I think!

[SpoonEG6]

I like the red cause it goes with my whole interior. But yeah ill be changing those in the near future.

indeed i do :D AHHAAHA

[arian_ma]

After you get wheels, the only thing I'd do different is paint the hood. Nothing like a clean as hell OEM looking car.

Also, I agree with EK on the wheel choice.

Sick car!

Yeah i dunno why so many people hatin on red rims. i think they look good on white cars. What color is your EP3?

[403ep3]

My car is black. I know heh, why so much hate! They look pretty good imo. I guess I will just go with the black rims with red lip =(

[petoria]

if my ep3 was black, guarenteed my wheels would be red

[SpoonEG6]

Yeah black EP3 with red rims would look hawt!!

That's weird because Acura told me it had low compression in one of the cylinders and it was the only reason I didn't buy this car :banghead:
