When I first got her, first thing I did was black out the emblems



Then I picked up a cheap 240 for my brother. We were doing some body work and painting.

Then came the coilovers! :dance:

New ride height



You can see the blacked out tails. (bad idea)

So dirty...

My friend backed into me and fckd up my hood and my bumper. You know what that means! CF

YAY! Unfortunately the first one came cracked so I waited 2 months and finally got my new one and they told me to keep the old one. Score :dance:

Hood on, but the fitment is just a little off but I'm pretty sure it was because the accident.

Hella rear camber. Stupid camber arms are rusted solid and won't break loose.

Sunken battle ship. About to change...

Wheels! AAAAAgh Yeaaaaah

Crazy rubbing. nothing a bat and hair dryer can't fix.

Yum

New vs Stock

Slight Stretch

Tiny poke. for now...



Ass shot!

Front shot


That's all for now. Sorry for the crappy cell pics. I'll take some better shots once it stops raining. And some new ones with the chalkboard hood on. (Raining for almost 2 weeks straight)

NO to the chalkboard hood.
But looks like damn good progress! I like where you're going with this.


I love how those look without those stupidbig fins.

[06RawRsx]

Thanks! Well, Since i got two. I can switch them out for special occasions. lol I'm sticking with the CF for now.

I'm half and half on the wing. Some days I like it, some days i want wingless. I can't make up mind mind with anything.

lower it just a little more and you'll be golden, since its a base there is no sense trying to go fast

I would love to lower it all the way but it sucks cause Its my daily and I'm already getting stuck on speedbumps at work. I will most likely lower 1/2 inch so the tires tuck. And yeah no point in trying to make a base fast.

[Chase Otter(:]

with your wing you can take it off and put electrical tape over the holes, and rock it for a bit and see if you like it, if not peel the tape and replace wing.

red tails are > black tails

[Evil Panda]

red tails are > black tails

Agreed.

I miss my old type-S.

[06RawRsx]

I'm going back to red tails. I want the jdm ones but they are pretty pricey. So i will just try and sand it down with 1000-2000 grit and polish.

[jared1988]

i really like those wheels. and yeah smoked tails are the old fad, new one is cherry reds

[emetz27]

do the chalkboard its mad fun when you go somewhere leave chalk back sometimes you get some dicks (literally) some people go nuts though and its sick

[Eric M]

Red tails and lower! Looks awesome how it sits now, Feeling the 5 spoke on the RSX.

[06RawRsx]

I just ordered my lip kit and should be on in a couple weeks!

Thanks errbody.
