i had cyber 1 side skirts but it was too much "flashy" and didnt flow well.. but yea the skirts are from a 94-96 volvo 850 I had to trim and bend to make it fit finished it off with plast dip paint job... i am very pleased with the results... got it at Pick N pull cost under 30.00....with those with USDM bumper looking for a lip kit i would go with these skirts and honda Accord CD5 OEM lip

Thanks Guys!! I don't really have any plans in the works at this time. I plan on trying to match the trunk and spoiler a little better when it gets a little warmer. I am going to do a rear disk swap pretty soon hopefully. I already have the parts to do it I just need to get some new disks and pads. I have been trying to change up the look a bit too but I haven't figured out what I want to do yet.lol I wanted to get some new wheels but I ended up spending the money I had saved up on a new lens for my camera.lol
Greg I really appreciate that you like my photography but the truth is that I am not that great. The camera and lenses do 95% of the work. When I take pictures of my car I take any were from 100-200 pictures. Most of them are crap but with that many pictures taken I am bound to have a couple good ones.lol
Thanks for the comments. Nice to get feedback like that. Oh and the front lawn, yep, had to park it there while I was doing the work on the bumper in the garage (tiny garage) once the car is in there it's difficult to walk up the side let alone work on it!
everyone is looking good lately. except jaydal. put the damn things already bro.
couple of shout outs
The Veeee love your 8gb. i like the way mine looked but damn thats just sexy.http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...ithgrilles.jpg
DeezNuTz: thanks for stoping and marking those lines for me. cut the on the lines and the hood is perfect. here are some pics.

^^^looks much better now, welcome
the vee has the best 8gb front end hands down, made even better by the fact that it's on a vr4 :D
Hey vee, if you don't mind telling, where did you get the mesh grills? I've seen some on ebay I think, but was afraid they weren't a direct fit. I 2nd your car being the best 8gb front end
Guys, thank you so much for your comments. I absolutely love the look of my car now, but your comments give it that "extra" goodness. Thank you. Must mention again the help I've had from TGC members who have been so good in taking the trouble to ship many parts to me in the UK from small wiring plugs and badges to large items like the bumper itself.
As for the grilles, yes I found those on Ebay, but did have trouble with the seller sending wrong parts and very slow. The product itself was not bad, but needed a lot of work to fit. My other option and quite easy, was that I cut the louvres out of the OEM grilles, filled, sanded and attached mesh to the back.
As yo can see I've retained JDM/Euro headlights so I also had to trim back the edge next to the light by about an inch on each side. With USDM heads you wouldn't need to do that bit so a little less cutting trimming etc.
Thanks again Guys.
Wait wuuuuuut? kouki front end now?! nice! I of course love this because it looks similar to mineQuote:

Thanks Ivory. I had to look at Specter's car twice - it seemed to change in a flash! Looks like a top job.
You guys getting original!
Loving Exhaust Powers skirt idea! Hmm... Daily love? =P
Vee, the 8GB look with that hood and those jdm heads really tie it up. The clean matched paint with everything is awesome and whoever mixed it was spot on.
Getting the whip clean for spring time

The last pic has my brothers gsx + the garage pictured also lol.
Damn Keith, your family prolly buys more cars than groceries.
Good work on the paintjob, but hows that thing run?
Runs good! The gsx had the original clutch when we picked it up (160k miles), so anything over 3k rpms and it let loose. It's been replaced with a spec stage 1 as his plans are small for now.
Lmao! I have 3 cars by myself! Can't drive em all at the same time sadly.Quote:

Thanks for the info on the grilles vee...and jamesgalant, my fault for overlooking lol, but those sideskirts are nice and a great idea.
