Well, I certainly didn't paint my trunk black. lol. Yeah it's the CF trunk from the JSP GB. Leanardo was nice enough to let me jump in late by taking the spot of someone whose deposit he had covered but didn't pay up.

You'll be seeing her back on the road soon. But, have to get some cooling fans put in. It's amazing how fast these cars over heat without proper airflow. Really wishing I had gotten a vented hood of some kind. Oh well, down the road...

pm sent....wet, wet, wet, i tell yeah!

Vern - Are you coming on to my car? :D

Wicked - Ding, Ding, Ding... You are the winner! First thing on the agenda is to get the mid-pipe back portion of the exhaust fabricated this weekend. Then I have a gift certificate for a tint job to cash in. Those are the two big ones I want to get taken care of before I leave for vacation in August.

First let me say thanks again to everyone for all of your thoughts and comments. It's nice to see such a positive reaction to a car that I still think has a long ways to go.

As for a mod list. Wow, that's gonna take some thinking on my part. But, I realize I have changed a lot of things with out posting since I wasn't happy with her appearance until very recently.

Oh and feel free to repost any of these pics and my mod list on what ever forums you want. Only thing I ask in return is that if anyone sees my car pop up on some ebay add please let me know. The only companies I have authorized to post pics of my car are MAM, Cork Sport and Horsepower Freaks. I've noticed that many cars on these forums that get a good reaction end up in unauthorized adds.

Ok, I'm just gonna put it all out there as I am not one for keeping secrets. I'm also going to include all of the items that I own or have on order that I haven't installed yet as well as a few things that are on the agenda to buy. Oh and I also have a few items that I'm not sure if I'll actually get or not. We'll just call them the Fall/Winter "Wish List."

NIY = Not Installed Yet and NPY = Not Purchased Yet

Note - I really try not to use JDM as the passe catch phrase it has become. So, unless JDM is followed by some sort of explanation it means that the part was actually purchased from Japan or from a vendor who imported it from Japan.

Man you have taken my breath away! That car is imaculate and too beautiful to even begin to describe . I now have new inspiration for my protege. Nice attention to detail and I did notice the light spliced in at the bottom of the rear tails. Man that car is just immaculate! I see you are form Hawaii and you live i Wahiawa. I used to live in Wahiawa back in 90-96 but had to move due to retirement of my father in the service, we almost ended up staying anyway, but sick Granparents and things brought us back to the main land. So man it must be sweet for you guys out there wish I was there, congrats on your car.

lol. I don't know about a well laid out plan. I'm like total A.D.D. when it comes to this poor car. One thing for sure I can't even come close to you with the MAM prepped block.

I'll see what I can do about some interior shots. Like I said looks pretty well stock MSP right now.
 
that's the best looking orange speed i've seen. I gotta step up the appearance on mine now lol.

Sick though, nice car.
