I've been 'slowly' working on my P5 since November... haven't really posted any pics yet because I wanted to wait till I had something to show... One of my main goals was to make it unique - before this car I was a Honda Civic owner 3 times over and unfortunately you just start accepting that your Civic will almost never be unique because anything & everything is available for the car and there's always someone somewhere that's already done what you just thought of. Hopefully I'll be able to keep my P5 at least somewhat unique!

full body kit, custom 2-tone paint & striping, removed roof rack, custom gutter trim, wheels & tires...

as always - it's a work in progress and there is definitely more to come! :D Hope everyone likes the ride!

Beautiful.... fuking beautiful!!!!!!!!!

Sunlight Silver Mint Blue kit........... you Never see those!!!
2 tone paint................................" "

and IMO - leave the badge the way it is. It ads sooo much to the front end- it help the look of the hood.

Great job (first)
 
Man, that is a nice P5!

You should apply to work as a designer for a car company or for a custom shop. Use your car as your resume!

nice car, very uinque! black mica fo life!!!

not many cars can pull off the two tone and youve done it well im glad youve come to the p5 community to keep it clean and unique and not give us protege5ers a bad name fast and the furious style. keep it comming more pictures please. id like to see the back to see how much junk in the trunk ;)
 
Very nice! Got any shots of the rear? Want to see how the two tone flows with the back. Have you thought about blacking out the headlights?
 
Here's some more quick pics from this past weekend...

xFLiPsTyLeZx - a couple of sunshine pics...

sorry azeli73 - still none of the rear but i will get some soon! and yeah, been considering blackened heads... but I kind of like the crystal clears tho

oh and NO it's not lowered yet - but that's definitely part of the *very soon to come* list... just not sure yet what to do and wanted to wait till I could see the kit and wheels on the car. Now that they're on I can get a better feel for the overall look. I don't want it too low - I just want to squash some of that gap... I'm thinkin either the Eibach Pro or maybe something thru Tein...

Anyway - here's more pics! and thanks for all the great feedback! :D
