all comments welcome
 
With those wheels and the mirrors (BTW who makes em?) it has an old 90's DTM look to the car. Not sure bout the colour personally but overall quite a transformation!
 
^^ the reason i put it that colour was there was a young lad in town with a silver ek and sayed it looked like mine, while his was a **** box lol
 
Definately a unique look you got going man..just can't help thinking its in primer still...
 
looks nice m8 :) colour is very unsuall as said looke almost primer grey will certainly catch peoples attention :)
 
i like the colour!
although i think the 2nd picture doesnt do it any good, get some proper pics up!
 
Yea i get what ye mean with the colour, i got the same said on my local site (honda-haven.com) but when members saw it in the flesh(or metal) there opions changed,
thanks for the comments people,
il get more updates up later,as the last pic was taken fifteen months ago ;-)
 
Hope u have got rid of the angel ayes n eyebrows in the next update cos they waste your car !

I'd never see this on HH in start to finish form! Some change man in fairness. By far the most unique EK that I've come across imo. Any more plans for it or is it "finished" (if a project ever is :)))
 
i would love to have that bumper they way it was, to each their own tho. but u could have just bought a 97 front bumper for like 100 and sold other one for like 500
 
Are you gonna get a colour coat anytime soon?? :lol:

well thers always one :nono:

personally i love the colour,( kinda have i sapose)

im thinking a new style after my nct next week, going to pull it apart again and start freash:naughty:

any ideas on colours lads?? love the usdm scene with there flat colours
 
Phase 3 so :) Flat would be cool. Think it works best with darker colours like a deep bronze/chocolate. Either that or gunmetal I think would look sweet. I reckon you'd be wanting a polished rim with a slight bit of camber too to pull it off fully. Should be interesting either way. Love the style of this coupe. This is the way I'd go with it anyways if it was me doing it :)
