Even the spoiler? Thats whats killing it for me, aside from the stickers.

 

[S.A.MSP]

I believe the spoiler too, in South Africa they didn't come with the spoiler though, I don't like the spoiler much, it kills the clean look that the other areas of the car offer, the front is super sexy

Edit: Spoilers not stock: http://www.astina gt.com/323_brochures/BA_hatch_spec_sheet.jpg

Hi guys, I'm new on your forum. It's a pleasure to present you my car. It's sleeping in the garage for now, but will wake up only when winter finishes. I got a lot of pictures but I will put only the best ones. Every parts that are not new have been sand-blasted and painted.

Sleeping for now...

The first touch. Sandblast every rust spots under the entire car, in the fenders and behind front fenders, behind both bumpers and the engine bay. Painted in black and a slight touch of Gravlguard under the car and in the fenders.

The second step: suspension and brake swap.

Then I added some cheap seats.

Didn't see that many pics on CPQ lol! Awesome ride man, mad taste!

*Vraiment de la classe!*

o man... thats gorgeous.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

I'm trying to talk my buddy(one in my sig) to do something like that but he is just too focused on swapping the front end out to the 01-03 protege.

Well, the thing is: it's more complicated to swap to a 01-03 front end, it's more expensive, and you get the same look of 250 000 other cars. Instead he should get a 99-00 JDM front end like mine or the ''Sport 20'' and have a little bit of exclusivity.

But you still have a nice ride...I like that white-wingless-sleeper look (thumb)
