I love my car... :icon16:

looking good :D i think ya should paint the bumpers.

kinda looks like mine minus the rims and rack. I tried to get a pass. mirror today and the guy wouldn't sell it to me because he wanted to sell the whole door.

looking good :D i think ya should paint the bumpers.

Yeah the whole car could use some paint... I'd like to go with a deep blue and def. do the bumpers... Have to wait until I get back to NJ and my boyz can hook me up with a "paint job for less"

All I can afford now is maaco and I plan to have this car far beyond when the maaco job will start to fade and crack...(no offense to the peeps that have a maaco job but every one I have seen in FL cracks and peels due to the hard sun down here....)

and T-mo, I have a pass side mirror for you but it is a power mirror from a 91... don't know if you can use that or not. I think it would fit up fine.. but you'd either have to wire it up (no idea what is required) or adjust it by hand through the window.

i don't want to take my car to maaco, but my brother took it in when it was his and surprisingly enuf the paint still looks good. looks like i got the one out of a million job :)

My maaco paint job sucked....rust started to show through and the paint started to crack about a week after the 1 year warantee ran out :banghead: ....i got rid of that car though so now i have the quality orignal honda faded maroon paint....looks like ass and i love it :evillol:

The thing about maaco paint jobs is, you should do all the prep work yourself, such as fixing rust spots, and sanding and primering... if it was me, I'd also take it down to them alreaedy masked off for painting, cause they don't do too good of a job that that. And then after you have a maaco paint job done, the next time you want the car painted, you have to strip all the paint off the car, because of the type of paint maaco uses (cheap) other paints wont stick on top of that.

The power mirrors from a 91 (sedan) don't fit the hatch exactly right. The shape of the trim pieces around the mirror are a little different. I think this is due to the different window shapes between the hatchie and the sedan...the hatchie has more slope so the trim is shaped differently.
It is easy however to adjust the mirror manually. I have an LX mirror on my DX sedan (which does fit nicely :icon16: ) and I just move the glass around when/if I never need to adjust it, which is rare since it is the right-hand side and no one ever adjusts that, at least in the US....:nono: don't you RHD JDM peeps even start :nono: :flipa:

i have no idea what your talking about :p my cars paint looks great...LOL


i do need one, but gotta learn how to do body work to save myself some money.

Yea, i had a cheap paintjob back when mine was black and silver, the bumpers weren't primed so that chipped off the first time i sprayed it a hose. When i got it repainted the primer would make the paint boil up so it took forever to to get the whole car preped. and i had everything redone so it was like an extra week. :rolleyes:

paint is over rated :naughty:

damn man that looks REALLY good ... reminds me of my car cause of the color and everything. man i need to drop mine sometime. :sunglasse

i have a macco paint job, still looks good but i would suggest you not get the cheapest package or it wont last.

damn man that looks REALLY good ... reminds me of my car cause of the color and everything. man i need to drop mine sometime. :sunglasse

yea you do, get some sport spring like he did, not too huge of a drop so you wont be all slammed, cause you do all that off roading :D

im too cheap to get shocks though ... so im always looking for something that will drop my car and not blow out the stockers too quick.

eibach pro kit about 1inch to 1.2 inch drop... thats the only one i would think wouldnt do much to stock shocks.

eh thats not really worth it though ... i could put some cinder blocks in my shit and drop it an inch easy :iceslolan

haha! well most sport spring are only 1.5-1.8 inch drop.

Get H&R Springs :smile:

Yeah I would recommend the H&R sports to anyone. I am moving back to NJ one of these days and the roads there are a little bumpier than they are in FL so I wanted something that would give me a decent look but still work well in those conditions.

I was on steelies and there was a HUGE gap so now with the 14's and bigger tires, it kills the gap a bit and the ride is great.

If I was staying in FL, I would have loved to drop it real low on steelies like GTA. :iceslolan I love that look
