My response to things:
At first I wasn't going to say anything. I sure can relate about putting your pride in your car out on this board. I don't really like what you have done to it, but can respect your opinions on it and didn't want to insult you by stating mine.
However, there are so many bad arguments in threads like these. Granted you got and built YOUR car the way YOU wanted to, congratulations. I hate, however, the argument the people offer for you....
".....People don't realize how much time and money you spent....."
That's not valid. Who cares how much money was spent? For all we know, all the parts here were bought second, third, or even fourth hand. As far as time spent, I can point out many things in the first picture that needed more time to be spent on. Just look at the headlights....the area surronding the lights is huge!
Do none of the fenders or the front bumper cover fit right? That probably needed another 2 hours of alignment....but it wasn't done. There are other things there, but I don't care to discuss them.
Chris, enjoy your car. DOHC, enjoy your car as well....don't tell me what I do and don't realize. I know what I do and don't like....I know what is involved when customizing your own car (READ: custom mods, NOT bolt-ons), I know what is involved when modifying your own car (READ: bolt-ons).....

The flip side of the coin is this: If you post pics of your car, you leave yourself open to get flamed. So there there shouldn't be any bad feelings if someone express a dislike for the things you've done.
