Out the paint shop
Well I got my car out the shop..... here are some pictures.
The pictures really suck, I took them in my driveway because it was about to rain. I will have some better pictures later.

Thanks for the comments. The car is a show car (i don't drive around with a green civic all the time, i drive that white car in the background 
), but I tried to keep the body as clean and simple as possible.

Haha yea. The car was wrecked when I got it, so all the airbags were deployed. I just never got around to getting a new steering wheel. I plan to get one after I finish my motor build.

^^^^ My brother and I built the car. He always like the shaved plate thing, so he decided to do it. I really really didn't want to do it, but he did it anyway.......... w/e it came out nice and it cleaned up the car a lil bit.. so I like.
My brother deals with the body work. I deal with the engine work. I usually try to talk him out of getting to crazy with the body stuff and try to get him to keep it nice and clean....... so ^^^^ thats what we came up with
And thats my life story

Yea well I had Z3 fenders, but one of the inserts flew off while I was driving lol. I just took them out, and I planning on putting the OEM fenders back on but I just haven't got around to it.
Yea the same shop did the interior. I just took all the interior out sand and primed it and gave it to my painter
The car was an automatic, but I did a manual swap
The trunk area I just have an 8" fosgate he series (i think) and a fosgate 1000rms mono amp
Ummm.... as far as engine mods. Right now I am boosting 8psi. And my turbo set up:
PCS XFC
Garret t3/t4 a.r.63
dezod mani
dezod down pipe
tial wastegate
ebay intercooler
custom intercooler piping
greddy typeR BOV
custom dual 2.25" exhaust
some old pics:
Yes resale is would be a bitch, thats why I will be the 2nd and last owner lol
THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Whats up Paul. I take it the move went well??
I still don't really know whats wrong with the car, but I haven't really had much time to play around with the car, it went into the pait shop a couple days after you tuned it. Im pretty much stumped. Sometimes it runs perfect and then two seconds later the car will overheat. I dono, but I need to figure it out befor I make the drive up to orlando for HIN.
Sorry again for having the car break down in the middle of no where. lol I still feel really bad about that. Good luck at your new location. And I will be getting at you soon for parts for my motor build
