New paint!! New everything!!
Alright everyone, I finally got some pics of my car. Click the link below to my members ride page to see the pics. Here are the mods that I did:
Red/Orange with gold pearl paint.
Grills painted black.
New SLR side mirrors (custom fitted b/c they don't make them for our cars).
Shaved door handles.
Shaved trunk, keyhole.
Molded license plate holder from accord.
Shaved hood squirters (probably mispelled).
19X8in Axis spider rims with Toyo 225/35/19 tires.
All engine bay pieces painted same color as car.
Black wire loom in engine bay
DC Sport battery tie down..
Rewrapped seats (front and rear) with carbon fiber vinyl and black vinyl and red stitching.
Door panels wrapped in carbon fiber vinyl.
Painted interior pieces same color as car.
Wrapped center console (around shifter) in carbon fiber vinyl.
Dyed MOMO steering wheel black (used to be gray).
Refiberglassed pieces where window switches were and where they are now.
Vanity plates
New 3 color roll call and car club logos.
I think that pretty much covers it. I still need to powder coat my rims and certain pieces in the engine bay. I went to a car show last weekend and I'm going to be featured in a magazine. Street Customs is the magazine. I won 3rd and $100 in the show which I'm proud of b/c it was a pretty decent size show. Let me know what you all think.

Wow man. Incredible. Did you do most of the work yourself? I think I read some place that you and your dad (I could be totally making this up!) did the work on the car when it was black?
Still, car looks awesome. Custom paint is the way to go.

Me and my dad did all the work as far as putting the tv where it is now, relocating the window switches, fiberglassing where the window switches used to be, installed the bags etc...But I left it up to the body man to do the body work. Me and my dad don't mess with that.
Thanks everyone for the compliments.
