I have surfed around on the site for a while, but never posted. Here is a (short) list of mods:
Ground Controls
DIY Headlights
AEM sri
JDM sideskirts
JDM emblems
2.25" MBMP
17" Volk GT-N (Gold) Not on right now because of winter, might slap them on Mon. and take a few pics

[chet]

The car is clean, looks good. Nice job on the headlights. I still don't have the nads to take apart my headlights and do this mod. ANd the rooftop pic makes the cars look like toys--I dig it.

[danoonez]

The rooftop picture is hilarious. Your car looks like a choro q car and your friends looks like my Xmods racer. Let's see those Volks though!:cool:

[Brettnyt]

Nice ride! I like the sideskirts and headlights... Keep it up man!

[Civicvtec1ps]

Car looks good man,
Come to Chicago car meet in spring ;)

[02HatchSI]

Do ur DIY headlights leak at all??? I am still deciding on doing this as well to my car... but like the other guy said i don't have the ballz to do it!

[justifiedSi]

Looks great! :tongue:

[2fastcivic]

post pics of your ride w/ the volks man.

[Zero Three Si]

Screw the car....The house is SWEET!!! Where in Central Illinois are you?

[DingDong02Si]

Nice ride. That picture from the roof looks funny as hell! Is hell funny? well anyways put some rims on it. besides that your ride is str8. Keep up the good work. :D ;)

[danoonez]

put some rims on it

He's got Volks, but he took them off for the winter.

[DyNastySi]

Sweet ride. Whats the ride like on the ground controls? Im thinkin about getting them or the skunk 2.

[k20hatch]

Good looking ride man!! You like the ground controls...i love them!! Thumbs up!! I love that other si as well!! :D

[02SilverSiHB]

looking good!

[PAPITUYO326]

sweet ride man...rooftop pic is tight:cool:

[StrangeShadow]

looks great, can't wait to see the volks, I am pondering about getting some gt-n(s) in gm.

[Btrthnezr3]

Very nice. I'm hoping some day my egg can look as nice. I'm trying to find a 99-00 Si in my area to take pics with me! Even trying to find a decent place to take pics is a chore. I love your car and your photography skills :D

[ep3minivan]

Took a couple of new pics today with the GT-Ns on the car. On pic includes my friends Si again with 15" Volk CE-28Ns

I like the ground controls as far as the ability to adjust the ride height, but wish I had the money to get the Tein SS coilovers. The overall ride is not too bad, it's a little bouncy, but prolly the best bang for the buck.

[danoonez]

Picture 2 is my new wallpaper. Good photo locations BTW.

[ep3guy]

Nice car/pics. ep3minivan is my username on honda-tech. ;)

[2fastcivic]

damn i was gonna do that same setup but the wheels are too expensive for me. haha. nice ride though man. good picture-takin skills. oh and rims looks awesom on your ride.

[irrational]

lookin good!!! nice wheel choice man. did you paint or use vinyl to cover up the "gayflectors" on the corners? i think i may get those side skits and cover up my "gayflectors" like that too man.

[Suk02Si]

Clean ass pics! :D I like the first pic, looks good http://ephatch.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

[RacingCivicSi02]

Dude those are nice ass picture. im really loving the one with the em2 si.

[irrational]

what kinda camera are you using? any photoshop for color correction or anything else?

[k20hatch]

Awsome pics!!! I love how the sky looks in the 2nd pic!! very Nice!

[Civicvtec1ps]

Wheels looks really good.

I am using an Olympus camera. It is only a 3.0 megapixel, but does pretty good. The pics that I have posted have not been enhanced or photoshopped. I just happened to get good lighting.

[02SilverSiHB]

holy shit! that's sweet!

[Makross]

nice hatch

[Si Death]

killa :eek: did you drill or tape your sideskirts on?

[StrangeShadow]

WOW, new pics ROCK!

[ep3minivan]

I taped the skirts on. It was a pain, but turned out good. I have not had any problems with them sticking, so I don't think that I will drill any holes if I don't have to.

[irrational]

yeah man i agree with the hole drilling thing but i live in cali home of the jackers! i would not be able to rest easy knowing that my 450 dollar skirts were held on by tape.

If I lived in Cali I think I would secure them. But, I live in Central Illinois where most people ask me if my car is electric. Theft is not really a problem in my area :angel:

[k20hatch]

Did you do the headlights yourself?

[ep3minivan]

Originally posted by k20hatch

Yeah, I have done them twice now. The first time I painted them I left the turn signals clear. Unforunately, I did not get one sealed right the first time and it leaked. So, I redid them, went all black and I like them alot more.

[danoonez]

Are you a professional photographer? Seriously...you find the BEST lighting and the coolest locations ever. (Pic 5 is amazing, it looks like its straight out of a magazine)

yeah, even number 6 is sweet, kind of like something I've seen in superstreet or scc.

[danoonez]

Exactly, every picture is amazing. This thread gets a 5 from me not only for the tasteful car, but for the excellent photography.

[ep3minivan]

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I hope in the near future to be picking up a type r wing and in the spring to finish off the body kit. So, when I get a few more mods I will post some more pics.

[ep3minivan]

You sold your car?!

[ep3minivan]

No, I sold the wing. It wasn't what I wanted.

[danoonez]

Oh okay. Bad fit or what?

[ep3minivan]

It fit like a Renova wing. Not bad, but not as good as the OEM wing.

Did you get what you paid for it?

the first one looks like photoshoped :confused:
The second one is awsome...looks like you chopped off the side marker?

By the way, am I the only one having problems with wetodd? I always see that thanks for stealing our band width..so I have to copy the url and then paste to a new window and take off .jpg or add a 2 after wetodd... :confused:

I didn't photoshop either pic. The one nighttime pic turned out pretty good. I was shooting away from the setting sun into a dark sky. I thought it looked pretty cool with the moon in the clouds.

[icegrill]

Nice ride, love the pic with the refineary in the backgroud.

[LHD_EP3]

I think a CTR wing would set it off :D

I have a Mugen wing on its way over. The only problem is that it is going to take at least a month to get.

That will do just as well!

Ahhhh Yes the tripod is your friend! Hopefully, I am going to be picking up a new camera next week. So, if everything goes right I should be able to get better quality pics in the future.

[2fastcivic]

nice new pics man.

[Ep3 No.2]

the painted bumper lights are hot !

[ep3minivan]

I am pretty excited. I just ordered a few pretty parts.
Spoon oil cap
Spoon radiator cap
Spoon resivor socks
Spoon shift knob
Spoon carbon/kevlar plug cover
CTR valve cover
CTR shift boot
ITR dipstick (black)
RSX intake manifold cover

They should all be here by the end of next week if everything works out right. And, (fingers crossed) my Mugen wing should be arriving at King Motorsports this week. Also, I am getting ever closer to purchasing the rest of my CTR kit. Once the warm weather gets here I should be ready.
