    Well if you visit his cardomain page you'll see that he's trying to be artistic, to be different. I don't agree with the paint work on the inside or outside. But he must be happy with it and that's what matter's, not my opinion.

    Curious, are those blatant konig rims? What size tire's are you running? And how did you lower your car? Oh, just how far north in california are you?

    Thats unique... whats on the hood, cowl? I'm interested.
    I think the interior would look nicer black like the outside. or a dark grey.

    I'm looking at your car and I can't say that I don't like it but I can say that it's different....... I like what you're going for but if that was my car I would lose the silver paint and go with the all dark gray with a black interior........:smokin:

    well you dont get points with being pretty but you get points for being unique which is better in my book. i love the push button starter and the power converter in place of the tray at the bottom.

    Hey thanks for all the rude comments I appreciate them. Like Jims 86LXI HB if you looked at the web site first you would see that I dont have much money so i cant do all kinds of fancy thing to my car. second yes I know the paint job sucks, but I was bored one weekends and bought some rattle cans and just started spraying. its not meant for show. If I painted it Dark gray with black interior I would look like the rest of you now wouldnt I..........to answer those other questions I honestly dont know what Rims they are i just bought them. The tires are 205/40's. i wanted to go up to 45's to fill up some wheel well space. cause yes (oh another no no) I cut the coils myself. 2 1/2 in the front and 1 1/2 in the back for those who care. I live way up in Redding, its an hour and half north or sac depending on how slow you drive. ;-) actually the cowl on the hood is just a non functional scoop from a 83 LX Mustang reversed to look like cowl. I saw it in a Mustang and fast fords magazine.

    Interesting car, Mario. Yes, it's different. Welcome to the board too. And oh, it's your car. Do whatever you like with it cuz no matter what you do to it, there will be those who'll be negative about what you've done.

    Hey Mario, I think I might like the car. I'ts really not that bad, but regardless, I give you props for going out on a limb. I kinda like that silver ass, and I like the idea you're going for on the front. It's just that the front doesn't seem "grounded" enough to match the lines of the 3G. The wheels are tight as hell. I would stick with the 205/40 as they are the correct plus size. Going with 45 will knock ur speedo off a bit, and the car will seem a little more sluggish due to the increased overall diameter.

    I think if you make that wedge shaped silver paint on the side come all the way to the rocker and finish with the same ange as the one on the ass, then it'll ground the car a little more. As for the over-fender silver, it looks ok as is for now. Overall, like i said earlier, props on going that extra distance. Some may not be all that fond of it, but like Jim said, if you like it, that's all that matters. That why our opinions are just that, opinions, not rules to follow.

    As for the interior, i like the direction, but maybe a little more care in the painting process will make it look cleaner.

    Keep up the pic posting, I'm curious to see it's evolution.

    PS> Damn you for putting on that hood scoop/cowl. I've been searching the local junk yard every two weeks for that exact one. I want one!

    Keep up the work
    -Mark D.

    Pssssst, ummm errr aahh that's not correct 205/45-16 is the most perfect plus size match their is, it's almost exactly the same rolling diameter as oem. 205/40-16 is not correct, it's under sized, the speedo will be off a bit.

    Yeah, ur right if they're 16's, but I thought he was running on 17's. He didn't say, but I thought they looked more like a 17 then 16.

    Oh jeez your right, well if he's got 17's, your absolutly right. If he's got 16's then I'm right.

    Yeah if he's got 17's, definately DO NOT go with 45's, 40's are the way to go, the wheel gap is honda fault, don't sap your performance with taller than oem tires. Besides taller tires can have clearance issues just like wider one's can.

    You cut 'em eh? I was considering doing that this spring. (pardon the pun) has anyone else done this? how much work is it to get em off and does it fuck up the ride or what. i'd be interested in some info.

    having said that i'm gonna go check for a "how to" on this before i get flamed

    BTW. the paint job's a bit weak but artistic and i like the comment you made about if you painted it black and grey it'd look like everyone elses... good point man. wait til i go nutz with the krylon man...

    It is not reccomended to cut springs, it's not really good for the car b/c you lose suspension travel while maintaining stock sring rate which means the likelyhood of bottoming out will be increased 4 fold.

    Not to mention, it also puts more stress and demands more out of your stock struts which are not built to handle a shorter spring. This can cut short the overall life of the strut.

    Hey thanks I do also appreciate the good comments about my car. About the Rims, they are unfortunately 16's. At the time the guy who sold em to me said it was the only thing that would fit on the car. Reason I cut the springs, I have a friend has the same ride and he bought the lowering kit for his car. his car sits lower than mine does, but it rides like crap. I didnt drop mine all the way down because I wanted the car to settle into the springs. after comparing my car is much smoother ride than his and I havent bottomed out except when covering speed bumps. but that was my goal. ahahhaha. as far as the paint goes I am just throwing around ideas. my uncle is apprenticing me into the whole body and paint trade so it will get better. I may end up matching the Gun Metal Rim color and paint in some ghost color designs. who knows. anyway thanks for the welcome. awesome. I want to check out some more rides so I can get more ideas.
