Green Color = Honda I'm confused. I must do some research

Google - "HONDA"

Conclusion: I found out Hondas come in Black, Red, White, Blue......Wait a minute, does that mean we all drive Hondas?
Sorry, Just having a little fun.

As far as the tailights are concerned, I think it's a little early to be passing judgement. Unless there is something wrong with my monitor, those pictures really don't show much of anything. I'll wait untill it is painted and in the daylight, before saying anything. However I would like to commend you (or the owner) for going in a totally different direction than most here would. Can't wait to see.

hey man, way to go! I thought you were a total BSer when this thread started, but you definitely proved me wrong. The progress looks great and I definitely look forward to seeing the finished product. I know that custom work can look pretty rough when it's in progress, so I'd advise everyone to hold off on any harsh judgement until he's finished the job.

no, not selling it, Im just in a big debate as to whether I should get it this year or not. The list of things to do to my car before I bring it out are long, and I just bought bilsteins all aorund....so Im wondering if I should just slap on a prokit for the year and wait, or pinch it in. (I havent been able to drive my car with any of the mods I had put on it last year and Im getting very anxious, and broke )

Question, it was mentioned before, but never answered (at least I didnt see it, plz point me to his post if he did answer it). In those first few pictures, it looks like the car is sitting on the ZR1 rims without rubber. Is this true?

And the car looks like its coming along very nicely, good job so far.

I think for the pics...they were just set there! I don't believe they were actually mounted with the car putting weight on them!

Download this program
http://www.irfanview.com/ Then use it to view your photos and go to image then resize/resample...it will have a pixel numer for example 1820...erase that and type maybe 700 then click ok , then save the picture..and try again.
