i know it looks like crap at the moment but it did look good until last winter when i decided to meet a pole up close and personal i will mark out the damage created by the accident. but this is my start.

1995 EG8
aftermarket cam (came with the car)
short ram intake
2.25" custom fabracated exhaust
skunk 2 coil overs
chiped ecu (cant remember what brand but i think spoon)
short throw shifter (custom made)
and a few other mods

i would think about it but i just got the car back from the impound lot and they screwed it all up so im trying to get it running correctly at the moment. do you know anyone that has a fast idle valve i need one its the last thing to fix left.

anyways i havent decided the body kit im going with but i do want to do a wide body ( i might custom make my own) set of white rims and new rear quarters. then its off to paint. going to possible do a right hand drive conversion found the parts for it for $430 not including shiping. and im kinda stuck on the 1.5 motor staying in my car. im not positive but i think if i do a swap im going to go with an actual jdm motor probably a h22 with b18 trans. but thats along way down the road

looks like you've really got a lot of work on your hands. Why did you fiber glass the trim openings? you should take all that out and get some thing moldings....they'd look way better.
Also don't go 17's, first off, they look like crap on eg's, second, you'll most likely rub since your already really low. biggest I'd go is 16, but a 15 would probably look better.
post pics as you go.

oh, and save your money on the body kit and put it towards a swap. and I don't think you can use a b18 trans on a h22 motor. correct me if I'm wrong anyone?

they make a conversion plate for an h to b swap plus i can get body kits really really cheap. i have a conection with a warehouse. im going to raise the car up a bit for the 17s

You have a ton to do but good luck... IMO I would ditch the wing and the hood, get a stock hood or a Carbon hood... GL
