    New Headlights, New lip, New look! (new engine shots too!)

    Well i got my CTR Style lights all fixed up and took a few new shots. The lights took a little while to do, but i <3 the outcome of them. Let me know what you think!!

    Here they are, no photoshop touches, just resized.












    Feedback on both pics/car welcome!

    Looks good, new headlights look sweet... and are you gonna get the lip painted to match the car?

    the lip looks good. do you have aftermarket headers or are you going to turbo?

    Thanks for the comments.

    I painted the headlights myself, took me about 2 hours each then baking/reassembly time to paint them.

    Im on the stock header right now, with a custom 2.5" collector, and 2.5" collector-back exhaust, all custom bent/fit.

    I do not plan to turbo, nor do i plan to stay N/A... can you say Crower Head JSMC header, and Jackson Supercharger with a custom 10psi pulley, should be good for 275-280whp.

    I'm not goign to paint the lip because it scrapes everywhere i go and i dont want it lookin like shit with orange paint missing in all of the scrapes. SO i decided to keep it (along with my sideskirts and rear lip) black.

    I picked up some fender liners today in exchange for some stock 14" steelies... so i need to get those in, then get my inner/out tie rods together, and then its time to start savin for some other goodies

    The front lip comes straight back all the way around, its the bumper line. It does hang a tad low on each side, but it fits better in the middle that way. My previous lip was higher on the sides, and the middle would fall off (eventually it fell off and i ran it over, not making that mistake again)

    these pics were taken about a week ago here in Colorado

    Rims come after snow.

    Car gets stored for snow/winter, so im going to rent out storage shed for awhile...

    Those lights are looking great!
    You already know what I think about the rest of the car, so there's no need to flog that dead horse

    PS

    It looks awesome!

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    I was thinking that to, it looks like it sits a bit higher on the middle an lower on the sides like it's hanging down a bit on the sides.

    I agree, I think red-clears would look better on your car. Your car is sick though. I like the headlights, it makes the whole front end look more aggressive. The new lip looks good. Those pictures with snow in them almost made me cry because I HATE snow. I can't believe that season is about to start. The salt/sand, the shoveling, I hate it all.

    your car is inspirational. and going sc, that's also inspiriational as well since almost everyone just slaps a turbo on their honda. you should be a true pioneer and go turbo/sc. only problem is finding a sc that'll flow more than the turbo. that or get a 13g from a dsm.
