sorry about the repost, but new pics deserve a new thread



To kinda understand where I'm comming from, I'm a pretty artistic guy, so I have this twisted sort of angle on car modding. I have this theme going on for the exterior. I liked the way the black complemented this shade of blue (cyclone metalic blue :rockon: ). Originally, I really wanted gunmetal rims, and my factory tires were about to blow on me (there's currently only 75k miles on it. yes, this is a '96), but I rushed the purchase :doh: I plan on getting new rims within the year, something black or gunmetal with a polished lip.

The tint is there for 3 reasons:
- Preserve the black/blue theme
- Keep people from seeing inside
- Keep self from melting every time I get in the car during the summer

with the break light covered


dark as hell in the daytime, too


As for the headlights, My stock ones were starting to develop this haze on them, and frankly, I hate chrome. Those damned stock headlights called out way too much attention, IMO. Compare the old pics of my car to the new ones:

after


the projectors I have contain the least amount of "chrome" coloring out of any of the mainstream headlights. The as well hold this black/blue theme. In addition, the blackend grille contains a chrome honda symbol, along with the circular lights. Pulling in the wheels, the theme is cuncurrent throughout the exterior. Plus, chicks dig 'em :naughty:

for me, there was 1 main reason for the drop; to remove most of the wheelgap. Since I have a sedan, I like to bring my friends along, and with a 1.5" drop, I can do so. Plus, the springs only cost me $60.



But whats fun about my car is my "budget" system I have in it. It's nothing competition level, but its impressive none the less, save the massive amounts of trunk rattle I have (but I can't hear it in the car, so I don't care ).

I have kenwoods all around. 6 1/2 dualmags are shown. 3-way 6x9s in the back are basic.



These are to get me by for now. I'm still debating what I will do, but it will definatly involve a better brand. But they're still loud. Powered by a Sony Explode amp, which will move to the mids and highs once I get a new amp for the subs.

oh, yeah...



sorry about the over-explination h:
