I guess thats a pretty cool car if you are into all that stuff. My only suggestion is to follow the how to for all the dash and radio lights that's in the how to section and make them all blue to match the rest of the car. The red mixing with the blue underdash stuff is throwing off the metro-sexuality of your car.

All show... no go... and the show is kinda lame.. the speaker areas were cut out with what? kitchen scissors? the wanna be shift knob was cool till i noticed it wasnt a stick.. it was auto... and all the dogs? and "Arnie rox"? cmon.. and all the dogs? and arnold on the lid? and all the dogs? nice car.. but i wouldnt be too quick to offer anyone a ride.. take some time in the show and shine forum.. lay down some nice offset colors. then spend some time in the other forums get that suspension keyed out... ide start there.. suspension/bars braces springs struts ect, then jump over to a SRI and a breather... maybe a couple other mods... clear out the dogs... get rid of that shifter... and then start over... the blued out headlights however are EXTREMELY cool... +1 on that for sure. not to bash you or anything i just get the feeling that you have alot of money in your pocket but dont really know what to do... i on the other hand.. am dirt poor... but know what i wanna do.

Keep up the good work everyones gotta start somewhere

Naw, don't buy the bulbs. Do the paint thing, the one where you mix a 3:1 ratio, 3 clear 1 blue, then do 3 coats. It'll come out nice, my friend did it in his Civic HX with green, and another friend in his tC with blue. Just have to know how to work it.

haha fa sho thanks for your comment! the speaker area wasnt cut out, i just had to take out the square mesh thing that the stock speakers were covered in, so it was already cut. and the stick shift knob thing i actually love a lot so haha watever u say :-D and yea the dogs are just too cute, i cant take'em out. and hmm wat else.... oh the license plate! it was photoshopped. yea u know edited using computer software... and hmm suspension i already have progress springs, good enough for my daily drives, and yea i already have an injen SRI. I basically did all i could perfomance wise.... i dont think i know how to do anything else myself.

oh and for those of you who think putting my name on the trunk is lame, yea i think so too, but in a cool kind of lame way

Those have got to be the best license plate photoshop work I have ever seen.
I mean the trunk license plate chop wouldn't be too difficult but to get the perspective + the slight bend of the front license plate nearly perfect on both the close front shot and the far quarter shot is pretty good. What font is that?
