    i actually found a set dirt cheap.... but there were banged up pretty badly.
    and now since honda-tech is screwed up since they went to a new forum layout, nobody gets on there anymore. sooo, finding a set will be tougher now.
    but, all in all.... they are still pretty cheap. probably around 500 bucks for a set.

    Looks good. Where does everyone from B-ham scene hang out at?

    My aunt lives up there and I worked there for a while and could never find anyone anywhere, besides rice

    all the clean rides usually stay home in lock and key.
    theres a clean scene here like in atl.
    we usually have a ht meet here around late summer/early fall.
    the car scene here in bham is slowly fading away.

    thanks fellas thanksss

    well the paint issue.........
    it was supposed to be satin black w/ flat clear.... basically like the skunk2 cars.
    the painters screwed up. they gave me such a good "deal" that they werent going to respray it. im still pissed about it.
    the bra issue is because there a nice rock chip on the hood... and i happen to like the whole bra look. its "jdm y0"!
    and yes the car is a blast to drive. runs 13.7's. need to be faster.so , im looking into buying a custom header next week from a guy on here. new exaust from collecter back. get the engine to breath better....
    and wheels wheels wheels wheelsssssssssssss...............
    like these!!!


    all this and im trying to get my daily driver running...90 civic lx auto ftl.
    but its gonna be slammed on skank2's!
    i gotz m4d vtak y0!

    With the 13.7, were you running slicks?

    If not, slicks will get you down just alittle.
