after some months I gathered some money to paint my baby, I chose ultrasonic blue mica just like the IS-F

My bro's car and mine

http://i615.photobucket.com/albums/tt240/ricardoachata/DSC05811.jpg

then I got bored of having 18's, my car looked like a jeep so I trade them locally for 17x7.5 wedsports SA-90. I still think the emotions CR kai are the best looking rim ever, no doubt, but I fell inlove of the blue lip in the wedsports, plus they were 17's exactly what I was looking in the first place.

and then the tragic happend, for my 21st birthday my mom decided that the best present would be to crash my rear quarter panel lol, I couldn't see what it looked right after the accident but it sure was bad enough for the kind of work they had to do in the shop

a weekend later it was all fixed and ready to go.

after that I went to the exhaust shop all the way down to Homestead to fix my mid pipe.

and this last pic is from last week in autoglitz, time to change tires. I bought dunlop's z1 star 225/45 and I can't be more happy, best tires so far!!

http://i615.photobucket.com/albums/tt240/ricardoachata/2010-04-17105040.jpg


of course stupid of me that I didn't take pics with the tires on but I'll post some more next weekend that I get out of school.

thanks for watching, hope you guys enjoyed.

[usedep3]

looks good. i like it. what's up with the LED in your spoiler? is it missing? or is the LED clear?

[ricardoachata]

thanks bro, and yeah its clear LED.

[FoReVaPmP]

nom nom nom!!!..... looks good bro!!!.... :msmile:

[oneglory]

love the color. You should black out the headlights...it'll set the front off me thinks.

[cronicEP]

car looks good, like the color

[ricardoachata]

thanks mang, yeah I'll probably go with depo 04-05 projectors, jdm style!!, but that is gonna have to wait until the end of the year, right now I'm kinda broke XD

[J Mo]

thanks mang, yeah I'll probably go with depo 04-05 projectors, jdm style!!, but that is gonna have to wait until the end of the year, right now I'm kinda broke XD

just be sure to read up on those posts saying about crappy light output/cutoff on the DEPO's -- ive been reading good things about swapping the spo lens with a TSX one to make it better

just lookin out for you bro :mbiggrin:

[ricardoachata]

LOL thanks bro, yeah I read those threads over and over and that's why I haven't bought them yet, no time to do the whole lens change, plus no money for now lol, but on my vacation time I would probably pick the headlights and a pair of the TSX projectors to do the convertion, although it would be sweet if I could find somebody whos selling it's own already converted XD

[BaLisTek]

or u could buy my authentic LHD halogen projectors with a HID kit... just so happens i need oem headlights. So a partial trade could be worked out =)

Car is looking super fresh man. You should repaint jdm y0 on ur bumper hehe

[ricardoachata]

lol, what up bro?!, yeah that shaky-written jdm looked dope LOL. Thanks for the comment. Hey if you wanna do it I'm game. got pics? want pics?

[ricardoachata]

[vbpracer]

Looks good! Are you liking the bcrh?

[Yo_KyleEP3]

love it, I just think it need to be lower with smaller wheels lol

[ricardoachata]

love it, I just think it need to be lower with smaller wheels lol

thank you!!
I already had stock 16's, it looked good but too low, the ride was nice but every time I passed by the speed bumps at school I would hear my mid pipe scraping against the speed bump.

[ricardoachata]

Looks good! Are you liking the bcrh?


Thanks bro. loving it!!, thanks for selling it to me XD
how you liking the k24? I think I'm gonna go with a k24 myself too, but not the whole engine maybe just A2 head with kpro and supercharge it. what you think? I could take some pointers here.

[ricardoachata]
