My buddy used to have that style hood! I thought it looked better on my car! Car wash pic is my fave!!

 

[icetech]

Looks great.

Its a super light hood.... but it needs to be recleared. Im doing that this weekend and then posting it up for sale!

Get some OEM looking headlights and youll be set.

Im working on doing a retrofit on my stock housings.... Ill post those up when they are ready!

car looks great now, exept for the ricer Z3 style fenders man.

 

[TSiAWD666]

Hardly ricer if they're actually venting the wheel wells. That's a great way to improve net downforce on the front-end of the car by providing an airflow path out of the wheel wells as it helps with decreasing the lift they can generate.

 

[GSX_TC1]

yep just like it helps all those lil civics and accords and corola's that do it too. they may be functional but they just dont look good. but i think differently from other DSM guys so dont mind me. im sure all the 2g guys like those fenders.

 

[D00kie]

Like I posted earlier, only temporary until I get my oem pieces from paint.

 

[LandoAWD]

As people are still arguing in your fitment thread...care to update that one with final specs. I hope you passed on the spacers...

 

[my dreamt dsm]

YOu know what that z3 fender flows very nice with your car. I actually like everything except the headlights.
But nice car in and out!
How does the spec II ride? I though of buying those once!

 

[D00kie]

@Lando- i did pass on the spacers. May be going with a different wheel set up soon!

@dreamt dsm- they ride great! No ride noise! Aggressive tread. I'd recommend

 

[Boostinsideways]

I don't think those fenders look bad on a more or less stock car. I've never seen them on stock body car. Usually its a car with ridiculous body kit. And they just add to the clown car appearance. On a stock body car they look pretty nice.

Headlights look fine too. Blackhousing, better than the chrome ones at least.

 

[Smitherz]

Ah that thing is way nice now. Just enough spice to the whole look without going overboard.

 

[D00kie]

Thanks for the compliments guys!!! Up next is my goal to reach 350-400 whp and a complete interior change to black leather!!! So if anyone has black interior for sale let me know!!!! Lol

Thank you, 2nd this please. Tire specs as well. I had Nexus 18" on mine awhile back. Killed a tire on the rear due to a control arm raping the inside of the tire wall.

B&G 32 way adjustible coilovers
MB Battles 18x8.5 +30 offset
Yokohama Parada Spec II's 225/40zr18

I'll get pics of the wheel clearance later today!!

 

[Ppayer38]

Where did you get the coilovers? Any specs on them...

Very nice setup just not a fan of stretched tires but you kept em fairly wide

 

[D00kie]

I bought the coilovers brand new from a member on here. Ill find specs on them later today. Its a mild stretch on the tires.... Nothing crazy. Just enough to where they cleat the fenders when i turn
