    on a related note, i got a bunch of goodies at pullapart today
    I like the sound of those goodies

    i'll put up pics when everything's installed, but beware, these are not run-of-the-mill type things. they're kinda wild and like the rest of everything i do, different.

    i'm glad this thread is in the pics section haha. nobody was checking it in the general section. replies give me motivation!

    Re: Hondamonster build thread

    welllll it will be a bit before i can finish these projects up so i'm just gonna spoil the anticipation and and throw up some teasers.

    bear in mind nothing is mounted, just mocked up.

    2g lude trunk cargo rack


    lip o' doom


    love/hate feedback welcome! but everything will look better when permanently installed. and for the lip, i use 'permanently' as a loose term. it will inevitably rip off.

    Re: Hondamonster build thread

    i see youve given in to temptation annd cant wait to show off tthe new parts.

    but man your car is always getting some new crazy addition to it! lol I think the lip is pretty cool but your right it probably will rip off sooner or later. I would clean it up nicely with some all purpose cleaner or something then take a industrial heat gun (blow-drier) to it to get all the "oxidation" off. plastic gets old man but with heat you can make it look like new. and after all that you should paint it black to match your door panel moldings.

    ive gotta say not a fan of the trunk rack though hondamonster.

    the car itself looks great. what is the redsticker on the fender?

    I forgot to ask you on what type of primer did you use on the car. I'm really starting to think that I may do the same to my 88.

    thanks for the input. the lip is actually just really dirty. didn't even clean it up from the j/y so its got a bunch of crud on it. i thought about painting it, but it will just get all messed up. this thing bottoms out pretty often so even a good paint job will get scratched, chipped, and peel off from how much it flexes. i think i'll just leave it. i'll change it out sometime anyway. once i find a lip that isn't gonna drag on everything, i'll make it look nice like the moldings. the red sticker is a cherry bomb. new exhaust coming sooooonnnn....

    noooooooooo don't mess up that pretty paint! but its rustoleum camo paint, not exactly primer, though i think i could use it as a primer if i decide to paint it at some point, but for now its staying like it is

    thanks, and no not a full exhaust, just a muffler. quiet but kinda nice sounding. thought about side piping it haha. i'm thinking a full exhaust would be totally pointless. not enough of a power gain to shake a stick at, and all it does is make the car sound annoying. been through all that with the prelude already. stock exhaust ftw.

    i know! had one of my steelies on it just for temporary and its raining like crazy here. the 15'' steelie is actually smaller in overall diameter than the 14'' bottlecaps just because the tires on the white ones are so dang tall, and plus the tire on the steelie is totally bald... so my poor 3gee was hydroplaning really really bad. i was practically driving at a 5 degree angle while going straight.

    Haha bald tires and hydroplaning ftl, glad she made it out okay though. That would've sucked to see it in an accident after that.

    i mean not anytime soon or anything. green stays for now due to funding, time, and laziness.
