    if your going w/ 97 lude headlights maybe some (NOT ALTEZZAS) 97 lude tails and a nice kit to flow. like the b16, looks good.

    nice job, the tails are horrible, the stock ones are fine.
    Also what were you thinking when you painted it that color.

    Yeah at first I thought the color was white but when I found out that yellow tint was actually the cover I kinda took a step back. Congrats on the swap and I like the tails although I'm not a big altezza fan (neither are most of the members of this board). I would have picked a different paint scheme but that's just me. Perhaps you should get a spoon yellow valve cover instead of the red one. That might help with the overall look. Congrats again on doing everything yourself. Especially on the axles. That takes some stones to pull off right.

    How the hell did you do the wiring for this? How hard was it? That is the only thing that intimidates me about a swap.

    Engine looks good. I like the taillights except the fact that they don't flow with the car on the side. If you filled in that missing space they would look better. good job though

    Nice engine... I'll race ya when I get my axle fixed... You'll probably beat me... since I haven't been taught how to drive my 5 speed yet... lol

    Not too much on the color... but ya like what ya like...

    And where did you get those lights?... I love them... (Probably about the only person here who thinks so).. lol

    BTW... I have been looking for some euros.. If I bought some 90-93 euros, would it fit in my 87 4door?... Or would I have to bondo/cut anything?.. Bondo is no problem.. but the cutting makes me kind of weary since I have never done it before... Thanks
