. It's a charcoal grey mist metallic. If you wanna get your **** put on just give me a shout B and we can get em on your car. Interior will be fixed up when I can get a bit more money, thinking sparco's with rewrapped rears.

I hate the tail lights and you will get pulled over and given tickets for the lack of reverse lights
and it's too low
I do like the following:
the body kit
and your licence plate

The tails are legal and I have yet to be pulled over and ive seen alot of cops lately. As for the reverse lights they only have to be visible when they are on so when I install the led's i will be fine.
Its no lower than the car was before, it looks really low in the pictures cause of the grass but its at the same ride height as before.

Bruno - thanks for the advice awhile ago man, you introduced me to the C-west kit and i love the look. I know you prolly saw the few minor things wrong with it at the show cause I saw you checking it all out, but no worries as the little details are gonna be fixed soon.
Aaron - the car isnt gonna see winter, im gonna store it in a nice warehouse that has a big air compressor and tank so I can do a few things over the winter.
Matt - I figured you wouldnt like it, your into the more stock look but thats understandable. Do you just not like the look of it at all or what?
Goldbadge - working on getting an exhaust tip or something until I can get a full catback put on.

If you saw the sides in person I think you would like em, for some reason in the picture they look really messed up.
The front bumper doesnt fit perfect but im gonna have that fixed later on so it has an OEM fit on the car. The rear and sides fit nicely just the front wasnt perfect.
A rim with polished lip would draw more attention which isnt what im looking for.
Exhaust will be done down the road but i have to wait and see whats going on as far as the engine next year before I commit to a catback.
The interior is pretty much all black except the steering wheel and seats, im looking at either an ITR or CTR wheel and some Sparco front seats and rewrap the rears in either flat black vinyl like the rest of my interior or in a material close to the sparco's.
The system is in and its loud, still missing 3 speakers for the front but it still is loud as hell which many people can attest to.
There's a bit of orange peel but thats why im going back to get the car wet sanded in a few weeks to make the paint almost perfect.

The doors look retarded at the bottom....looks like the push in or something, just odd/off
The hood looks like it doesn't align properly, iunno, right near the headlights, looks like their popping out....weird
At first I thought you had steelies, a rim with a polished lip would look 100% better IMO
Exhaust would be AWSOME........
Interior needs to be done, the cloth just looks REALLY off.....i'm not a fan of tinted windows so i'm saying not to get them tinted....
The front grill where the honda emblem is supposed to be looks a lil boxy for some reason, iunno weird
Get some nice cross drilled breaks and it will look P-I-M-P
Hows the system going bud ? Long time no talk....
Hope this helps....
BTW: any orange peel on the car, hard to tell in pictures.....

I think your headlights are illigal too btw.. cops will hasstle you abut the black turn signal area, its like impossible to see during the day.... But you can paint the headlight portion just not the cup around the bulb...
Overall i like the look, i like your bumper chioces nothing to fragile looking... the trunk is so so...I dont love it, but i like it

The headlights probably are illegal in the daytime but I havent got nailed yet. When i was painting them my buddy tried to wipe down the inner part of the turn signal with windex and the chrome finish came off so we painted em. I will probably just get some super bright orange turn signals that you can see in the daytime.
The bumper looks mean but also its on the subtle side aswell, that big opening in the middle is begging for an intercooler

The color is sex, very nice, like the headlights and part of the frotn bumper...
im just not a fan of shaved doors or trunk, i like the way the mouldings seperate the door a bit.. but its your car and looks like you put alot of money into it.

for you guys who are saying you'd leave the trunk intact...
you can't do all that smoothing work and then leave the rear. the car would look unfinished or incomplete. you either go all out or not at all... chris has gone all out, and it's very cool. me on the other hand - not at all. they are two diff't sides of the spectrum, and neither one is 'the right' way.
chris, yeah, I was definitely checking it out - it's come a LOOONG way since last year's DKN. all that smoothing has made it look like a bigger car than it is. I wish I had seen the rest of the system. I realize the paint is fresh, it's definitely matte or satin I should say. I hope wetsanding helps that. Before you wetsand, use a gauge to measure the paint depth. you don't wanna rub through the paint.
don't worry about what ppl tell you you "need". Like the judge who said you NEED a playstation and some TVs. Or you NEED an engine and interior work. Fawk them, they're not paying for it. Do the work at your own pace, as budget allows, and do what pleases YOU, not the judges. Cuz 356 days a year, you drive it.... one day out of they year, they judge it
fawk it

lol. The grass definitely made the car look alot lower than it is but its still looks a bit lower than what it did before.
For the reverse lights I am going to install some white LED's in the middle of the third brake light
