history lesson: i bough my car in february of 03 ( i think) totalled for 3500 with 14550 miles on it and it is a 2002 lx coupe 5spd, original paint is that sand color, after i brought it back to life to hit the streets it had asa ls7 17" rims, tyc projectors, ferrari black paint, then just a month or so ago my bro got into an accident with it and heres what i have now (its been out of bodyshop for a while but im still in process of a few things but couldnt hold out any longer)

day i bought it

mid repair

after repair


now it gets ugly, the accident

yes i planned for an rsx conversion but it was going to take too long for me and i missed my car so i said screw it for now (btw the car was worse than it looks, estimate came out to about 7 grand)

now the fun starts, and i did everything myself except for bondo cus my coworker is amazing with it, and my brother did the paint.






still in process of doing the led convert



im searching for some more pics to resize, also im making a list of all mods and seperating the ones i did from time of accident to now.

please comment and i really appreciate positive rep!!!! thanks

not really into body kits, lip kit yes, im resizing pics now of they "finished product" but its still in progress lol, and the amp is nice thanks, its 10 years old though lol but still awsome, i guess when they were new they were used by the pros at the high end decibal drags

very nice, the *only* thing i would change is on the license plate box in the back, i's round the edges i little more, but besides that, perfect!

 
Rep Power: 310

so youd round the edges inside the box or the edges where the box meets the trunk surface?

 
Rep Power: 365

I'm not feelin' the off-center plate, but I think everything else looks top-notch.

 
Rep Power: 310

BUMP!
i like to hear everyones opinions thanks!

 
Rep Power: 313

yea, it might be the pic but it loks like it's just a hard 90 degree angle, i'd round it a little, at this point i wouldn't cuz it's all painted and goregous and everything, but something i *would have * done
