Coming in due time. Paint will be done (either by or at) about Feb of next year. In the meantime, I'll be getting pieces to fix the car. And to add to it.

Yes i do. Keeping the JDM wheels. Besides the ride height, this car will remain JDM. And I can say JDM because my car was actually built in Japan. So I'm not saying that to be a part of the fad. And I have a couple of touches to add to these wheels.

Cool cool. i TOTALLY understand bro. so many kids want things to be done NOW but you gotta relax before you end up with a half assed car. i learned from experience :o

You can use some dry ice and massage some of those dings out of the body to keep from having to use too much bondo. It's definately looking good. Put some Miata wheels on it and call it a day :goodjob:

QD the car actually looks damn sick.
but just because a car is made and assembled in Japan does not mean its JDM
I am sure you know this and all, but JDM= Japanese Domestic Market, right?
Which means that anything that is TRULY JDM, is meant for Japanese streets, this is a USDM car, and nothing will ever change that fact.

Preciate the compliment. It was made in Japan for American streets, true. I guess you could call it a JD4USDM. Lolol. Later, QD.

I say OEM+ on the wheels. Maybe polish out the out lip on the stockers and get the centercaps in good shape.

If you're leaving those wheels on you better put on white walls! At least put on longer studs and spacers :D

...and don't forget the mirrors on the fenders!! Maybe even the factory roof rack! oh yeah, the molding trim pieces are in the wrong place, they're supposed to be on the lower section of the door...

if you're wanting something close to the factory look you could consider Diamond Racing wheels. They'll make you a custom set of wheels for your setup for a very reasonable price - they could be modeled after your factory ones, only with a different offset?
the cvcc is lookin' nice man - good progress

Thanks for the input but I will always steer folks away from Diamond Racing for street wheels for the simple fact that they can NOT be aligned for good tire wear. I actually contacted them 2 years ago when I first got this car and they told me on the phone that these applications were not really very good for everyday driving. But again, I appreciate the input and compliment.
Thank you, too, Toyota dude, lolol.

Diamond Racing wheels are just awful. They belong on boat trailers and dirt track racecars and thats about it.
There are shops that will widen stock steel wheels. Imagine 13x8 steelies. :D
13" 1st gen. Accord steelies would look :boobies: on there. And 4x120 too. Go with the 1g wagon spindles and 1g Accord brakes and it's a pretty decent package.
But what I did with mine was use the 1g wagon spindles and EF brakes.... you get 4x100 that way.
