Looks like NISMO style sides and rear w/ an R33 style front bumper. Nice job, looks clean. That bumper is going to scrape on EVERYTHING though.

Definately a great job on the molding and the overall look however......

Why did you leave the kit on, umpainted for so long? Rule of thumb is to put the kit on and then go to paint no less than three days later!!!

hmmm.. well this is a VIS r33 kit.. I bought it all as one off of, believe it or not.. ebay..

the green was on the car when I bought it... I was told the green color came from a VW?? i donno jsut what I was told.

It took me so long b/c of money, school, and lots of other stuff that made it very difficult.

but overall i am very pleased of how it turned out.. thanks for the comments everyone!!!

Looks pretty nice, but please get some spacers for those Konigs, or some non Honda wheels, but spacers are cheaper. They look nice though.

Modestly spacers that are HUBCENTRIC shouldn't really cause a problem but 19's?! Atleast? =\

OK I can see the pics now. What hood is that? Looks sweet!! I like how that car looks. Looks more intimidating now . Hmm, looks like you live in San Gabriel. Maybe we can meet up sometime. Lotsa questions about cars and most definately need to check out your awesome ride.

Is that you sitting in the car in the second pic of the before paint job? If so, who is taking the picture? Also, where did you get the painting done and how much was it? I've been looking for a good place to get my car painted.

Looks good other than the rims. I like the look of the rims they just need to be spaced out further. Other than that the car looks great.
