minus the exhaust look, i like your car. keep up the good work

shadesofnight · 06-10-2005, 04:14 PM

Yea, thumbs down on the tennis ball launchers in the back, but everything else is nice. Kit looks fine, and those rims match it perfectly. What I REALLY like is the interior. I might have to look into that.

Nice work.

The hood looks like it's over hanging by the pass. headlight.

And those aren't custom panels, they come with the RK kit.

mr_eh · 06-10-2005, 05:18 PM

everything on the front looks off center to me...

SuGar V6 · 06-10-2005, 05:21 PM

Not really my cup of tea ... but if thats your style more power to you .. good luck ..

rennation · 06-10-2005, 05:33 PM

those seats look great!

AaronGTR · 06-10-2005, 05:34 PM

Think overall the car looks great. Got a good overall mix of styling and power mods. I gotta agree with the rest about the exhaust though. Sticks to far out and down, so you see the entire mufflers instead of just the tips. Need to do something about that ASAP, because it kinda ruins the rest of the work you've done on the back end. Other than that... keep up the great work.

edit: just looked at the front end again, and I see what the real problem there is. You've got some gaps under the headlights that are causing the surface of the fascia to look wavey. I had the same problem, since the stock fascia has a styrofoam brace under there but it doesn't fit with the Rk front. Try taking a razor blade and cutting off the ends of the old brace. Then cut it down some so it makes some small wedges that will fit under the fascia and glue it or screw it down to the plastic bumper underneath. That will close up the gaps and make the fascia look smooth.

Twisted_Reality · 06-10-2005, 07:07 PM

Your interior looks awesome and the rims really match well with the kit overall good job.

crazypontiac03 · 06-10-2005, 08:28 PM

Not my style, But it looks Good. Minus the Honda exhaust.

MongooseDog · 06-10-2005, 09:48 PM

Heh, didn't see it. Reading is for losers, pics are faster hehe =P. Thanks shades for the heads up. Those are nice lookin, may have to check into them.

shadesofnight · 06-10-2005, 11:07 PM

Mongoose, read the first post, they are from PFYC. I almost pulled that one as well, then realized he already said where they were from and had to edit my post.

KeyserSosa2000 · 06-11-2005, 09:43 AM

Seats look great my man. I love the silver. Is that the most expensive fabric option from PFYC? How much was it shipped?

crazypontiac03 · 06-11-2005, 10:12 AM

Love those seats!

anselv · 06-11-2005, 12:25 PM

Hey guys . Thanks for the comments . Yes I do agree with you guys about the exhaust . At first I thought it would of looked good because I thought it would of tucked under the rear fascia alot more than it does right now but unfortunatly when the shop put it on I was wrong ( definetly a bad call on my part.

) . It will be changed to a single inlet/dual outlet magnaflow muffler with tips later on , So a least will fit alot closer to the rear fascia than it does right now . But I might have to wait a little bit since I would like to get a stage one camshaft from Milzy and also a reprogrammed PCM from DHP .

By the way how is the camshaft working out the you guys that have it . Has anyone been able to dyno your cars' yet ? Is there any mechanical issues that you have to deal with when running the cam (i.e. cam sensors , codes , and so on) . Also what about DHP , they can do a custom tune PCM for you car to compensate for the cam(stage one) right ? I have been checking the threads but can seem to find out the info .

KeyserSosa2000 the shipping for the seat covers from PFYC.com was about $50.00 US. But keep in mind that I had also ordered the rubber floor mats and wheelskins steering wheel cover the same time . Also it will take about 3-4 weeks for them to make and ship the seat covers and when they finally shipped , Cover King(they make the covers) they shipped it to PFYC.com and then PFYC.com shipped it to me .

AaronGTR thanks for the advice on how to get rid of the space between the headlamp and front fascia . I bit the bullet and preordered the projector headlights from the other company so when they arrive I will take off the fascia and make the adjustment .

By the way your car looks fantastic , that rear spoiler goes well with the kit . You had ordered a cam too right ? How is that working out for you and how well does it compliment the rest of the modifications you have done to your engine and transmission .
