Re: Hi people, This is my ride :)

Car is looking really nice and a pretty big mod list

Not a fan of the wheels though, don't like the design and IMO 17's are too big but if you like them thats all that matters.

I'd be interested if you could post some interior pics ?

What is this "Rare EK9 RX front and rear Chassis braces" ? Pics please.

Did you buy the following parts from Brand New from Honda or did you get them from a breaker ? I'd be very interested if you could list Part No's for them and prices if you wouldn't mind.

EK9 door panels,
EK9 rear quarter panels,
Ek9 red carpet,
EK9 red mats.

Thanks Steven

Re: Hi people, This is my ride :)

looks good nice and tidy I would change the wheels though I think a set of Advan RG'S would give it a more aggressive look

Re: Hi people, This is my ride :)

Re: Hi people, This is my ride :)

What about the rear wiper hole it will leave?
What can i do other than get it welded up and re-sprayed?

Re: Hi people, This is my ride :)

Put a rubber grommet where the hole is, a lot of DC2 owners do it.
