It is a 96 DX with a 2000 GSR swap. Work was done by the previous owner, I have had it about 6 months. Not too much done to the outside, that is the way I like it. It's really fun to drive (and surprise other cars). Let me know what yall think!

The wheels aren't bad, they'd look better if the side skirts and moldings were painted.

thanks for the replies guys, yeah I know, the wheels are a little lame. They came off of a 02 SI...keeps the sleeper look, though. I am too poor to change them out

clean, but i'll have to agree that those wheels do not complement the car. Also, cleaning up under the hood would help a lot. Advanced auto sells black wrinkle paint that you can repaint your valve cover with. It usually turns out pretty good and looks like stock. let the car warm up a little, then soak the engine with degreaser, let it sit, scrub what you can with a sponge, and rinse off. It will look pretty good then. I keep my engine clean, and it makes all the difference. check out this pic of my engine. it is actually dirty compared to usual.

all in all I would say that you have a good looking car. paint the door trim, and get some different wheels (have you considered LS meshies? They are pretty cheap and stock looking) and you will have a nice clean sleeper.

allmotoronly, that is one clean engine bay. I know I need to clean mine but it gets so dusty from where I live, it is just a losing battle. I would like to paint the valve cover if nothing else, is that something you have to do with the cover off the engine, or can it be done as it is? I have owned so many cars with oil leaks, I don't want to take any chances-this one doesn't leak a drop. I want to have the body work and paint done right, just need to save up...you can't tell by the pics, but the body is in pretty poor shape.

but i agree the rims are nasty but it gives u the ultimate sleeper look. I would actually throw on a stock exhaust with a cut out
