ahhh i remember those vehicles....all except the honda when we were discussing the STS remote mount turbo a year or so ago

oh n speaking of the honda.....nice color choice,but i guess im biased. and i love the TYPE-R 5 lug conversion but man u gotta hate the white rims on this.... i guess i should know also. (great minds think alike) this was my fav honda i ever owned as it was a rare color


shortly after i first bought her....

It hurts to see the damage done to that beautiful car and the mode parfume bumper. But it could have been so much worse. From past bumper damage experience the bumper looks fixable and the money saved from not doing a whole new bumper u can get some artisan fenders :-P. It's time to see a new chapter start from this unfortunate mishap

good luck

I've actually had a custom set of fenders sitting in the garage for over a year, not sure if I want to put them on or not....still debating...maybe I'll make a poll out of it? I took off the curtains and I'm looking at some really trick clear tint so the green tint is going byebye. maybe a slight makeover is going to come out of this accident after all...thanks for the words of encouragement
