So the car started with the basic mods of a "SORCERY" front bumper with the Carbon fiber lip. Mounted the "C-WEST" carbon fiber mirrors with the very RARE "Work Equip" 18X9 +53FR 18X10 +43RR wheels.



ASM fender flares drop shipped from japan via Tommy @GOTUNING.COM





Took them to the local body shop and had them take my gas tank door to color match them to the car.



This called for some EXTREME moding of the Quarter panels.



Cut about an inch off.




Rubber pieace for some kind of pertection from rust. (tempary solution)



Mocking the Flares up and using a sharpy to mark the holes to drill.



finished product after rivets.







Then came the a couple of other mods such as the "KEY!S RACING" steering wheel.
(with the application of a WORKSBELL Quick release and a WORKSBELL sort hub)
A carbon fiber ZOOM rear view mirror and some Project kics R40 NeoChrome lug nuts.





Heres a picture of the Steering wheel mounted.





How the car stood at this point.



I then desided to change things up a bit and ordered "SPOON" front fenders. these fenders come 15-20mm wider then stock OEM fenders.





Since you cant run these with OEM plastic wheel well covers SPOON also sends you these Fiberglass covers for the back of your headlights to pervent water entering the headlight.



After again taking to the local body shop and having it color matched to the car.




This is how it looked after with AMAZING FITTMENT!



Then i desided to make the car a little more aggressive and added a INGS+1 carbon fiber wing.




Heres a photo taken by my good friend Warren shim-quee



Then the car was involved in a minor accident and i desided to change the color while i'am fixing the car. i wanted something different something without metallic and something with no peral just a dead color. so i picked a color out of the House of Kolor chart. this color called for a plain white base coat and the color to give it the dead look i wanted.



putting her back togther getting ready for the kamispeed show in december.



Painted the engine bay black as well as the wheel wells of the car for the clean look.



Thanks to the guys at Flat 6 and Veilside AP1 for the help of putting in the 6 point Cusco role cage . as you can see where earilier in the build i cut the corner panels to have more clearence for the aggressive wheels has now been painted and cleared for the seal to protect against rust.



Everything on this car was painted sepratley to give each pieace the attention to detail it needs. heres the front bumper.




Front bumper mounted!



After having this "j's Racing" Carbon fiber diffuser lying around for almost 2 years i desided this was a very good time to mount it.



After cutting and menuvering the bracket to mounth the diffuser on the car to fix the HKS exhaust we finally got her on.





then it was time to re-drill and re-reviet the fender flares back on.

nice write-up to start off this section what did you end up doing to the cover the metal that you cut? I did this to another car i put rubberized undercoating and had the car for years, never rusted. a rubber trim piece is ok but think about the older honda with the rust in the rear qtrs. wont last forever.

its was very worth it with the aggressive stance of the car i ws running -3.5 camber in the rear and was going through tires every three months. after cutting and placing the fender flares i went back to almost stock came and get a heel of alot more camber.

well my first solution was a rubber pieace but it didnt last too long. after i desided to paint the whole car a different color i ended up sanding that section down painting it and through clear over it to seal up the deal.
