when a shop gives you a time estimate, double it, then add another 3 weeks. it's the classic formula of when you're going to get your car back. my buddy dropped his rsx off for some custom moulding, a dash wrap, rim install, and a paintjob in March ... it's already August and he's still driving his moms beater.

as far as your mods, this is only my opinion ... so it doesn't mean much

insert a motorized dvd screen out of the dash :bigok:
custom visors with screens :bigok:
screens in the headrests :bigok:
custom seats (either vinyl or leather) :thumbup:
tail light conversion (IS300) :down: :down: :down: down:
side moldings shaving :thumbup:
shaved door handles :thumbup:
fiberglass enclosure for custom system :bigok:

it's just the tail conversion is what's getting me. i know you're building a show car, but IS300 / altezzas aren't the best option. there are nicer tails to swap to.
