With that done,here are some pictures of the car.Going from oldest to newest.



This is the day i brought it home.All i changed was i put my gt3 on.





Ew look at that bay.



Dirty dirty.When i got the car,it had problems starting.It ended up being a friend ecu..hinse the ecu out.



Shortly after,i traded my friend my gt3 for his dr20 and raised the car up some.Also,my fiance bought me a mugen shift knob for my birthday =)









Then some things happened,and i ended up giving the dr20 back to my buddy.Depsprate for wheel,i picked up these 16x7 momo corse.I also had my first exhaust for the car.Megan gt catback,it ended up being much to loud.










Then things began to pick up....i got my bra,fogs,velocity stack,intake tube,plug cover,vtec solenoid cover,and bay tucked and painted.










Then thank god,i sold the momo and got the dr20 back.It made the car look 10x better.





I also painted my header and cleaned the bay up more.




Then i decided to change the bay up a little bit...cut the valvecover to show cams and repainted it.Also lowered the car a little more.











Also around that time i wrapped my headliner.




Then i decided to try my hand at the low offset stuff..i traded the black dr20 for 15x7 +10 gold dr20.They were nice...but just didn't suit my tastes.








I had those for about a week,and someone contacted me wanting to trade me track r(my favorite wheel) and a thule bike rack,so i couldn't say no.They completely changed the cars look...and i love it.

These are the most recent,and how it looks at this very moment.I will try to update every week with pictures..











(Pic with oem si wheel,my hub and quick release hadn't come in yet when i took these.)

looks good. whats next on the list?
Next,well soon.Before the honda tech meet in may,i'd like to have my bay sprayed battleship grey,have my tow hooks,and have shrouds on my fogs.And if money and time allows,have my 205/40/16.



I need some opinions guys,with doing my bay battleship i dont think my red/black valvecover scheme is going to cut it.So,i've decided to go with either battleship matched with the bay,or white.


Which would you choose?

yeah i thnk if u did the bay battleship gray then matched the valve cover it would be too much but you never know it could look good i guess. just wait till u get it painted and see
