Thumbs up My ride is fixed! *pics*

I finally have recieved all the pieces i needed to repair the damage caused to my car a few months ago. Here are some updated pics. What does everyone think? Installing locking pins is the biggest b|tch in the world!!! I will never do it again. Putting the hood on by myself took 5 minutes. Getting the hood pins too work took 3 hours! And even then I had to modify them to work. blah!


I am still waiting on my Dayton Imports door kit to arrive and the I plan to add a CF Mugen lip next.



Picture time......

They are carbon fiber locking hood pins. The do look sweet, but they are a royal pain to install. Not fun at all. Because our hoods slope and the base is horizontal the lock is tilted in the hole, so you have to modify the bracket since the lock wants to turn at an angle. Like i said before, I will never install locking hood pins again. Too much stress!

because the ricer in me just can't pass that up. lol. I don't like altezza's, etc.......but no matter how many times I see people with those doors, I am always impressed. Soon I will get the CF Lip and Aero sides and rear so that should help it. Along with some Spoon CF Mirrors.

Sort of off-topic, but were you planning on a K20 swap, or did I imagine that? I could've sworn I saw a post from you back in the day that said you had the Hasport mounts.

Yea, I still am. But I think i'm gonna wait for the new civic K20's to get out so that price will go down. It's tough to do a 8 grand mod when you are in graduate school.

A member being somewhat financially responsible? Blasphemy!

I wasn't sure if you'd gotten the swap and were being quiet about it, if you'd scrapped the idea, or if it was still in the works.

I know how you feel though. I'm only in my second year of undergrad and my car has taken a serious backseat to my current responsibilities. That, and I'm starting to focus more on my faster, more thrilling ride... my new Trek bicycle

The bike retails for $1300. I got it for a better price than that. But all of the extras cost tons too. I recently got a Kenwood KVT-715DVD installed.....hehe

i love all the carbon fiber and the hood pins look alright but what were you thinking when you installed those ugly mirrors? do you like them? arent those F1 mirrors? because if they are they should only be used on F1 cars. there fugly. other than that i love your car. rims are nice too. love the trunk and gas lid door carbon fibered though.
