Jay came over and welded on my radiator support, after I put the front back together with the new fenders and tried aligning everything the best I could. The fenders I didnt spend the time to align because I dont have a hood…yet.

Did you get JDM lights or EDM, plastic vs. glass?  
If you have the JDM lights, you may want to think about upgrading to the EDM glass lights, after 20 yrs, they don’t fade or haze over like the JDM lights will/do.

Yeah I have the JDM plastic ones. They are pretty minty and I’m going to buff them anyways. I may upgrade to the glass ones in the future.

They arn’t anywhere near being like the headlights in the picture of the hood I’m getting (below). Mine are super clear still.

Yes almost, I’m leaving the mirriors black and all of the side protectors/bumpers black and the door handles black. I \<3 the glasstop on that car but I will be leaving my sunroof. I dont like the stock SiR spoiler either so my trunk lid will be left alone.

I started my brake line tuck, I needed to order more fittings which should be here today.

I put my prop valve on the inside right over the passenger fender wall. i put it there because if i ever had a problem I could just remove my glovebox and almost everything will be right there.

I ran my brakeline for the driverside over the pedel assembly where the stock fuel feed line goes.

And last night my friend Nick and I helped removed our friend Mike’s B16 from his crx.

Finished the inside portion of the brake line tuck. Before anyone asks why I only have one line going to my firewall for the master cylinder, I am buying a chasebays brake booster delete kit and the wilwood master cylinder only has one line coming out of it.

Got the hood today. It got totally raped from shipping dont want to talk about it. UPS already has a claim and so does the seller. I dont know who packaged it or if there was insurance so… ☹ Its fixable but what once was a mint hood is now something that needs hours and hours of body work from either poor transport or poor packaging. the box was made up of 3 other boxes and about 50 feet of packaging tape. Im pissed.

$100 does not justify how much damage was done. I called UPS and said the hood was worth like $500 so we will see what they say

I’m gona fix the one I got. I just want some or most of the money I spent on a “clean” hood back. I spent the money I did on this hood because it was super clean and needed next to no work to be perfect. And then I receive a hood worth 50 bucks max. It’s just frustrating because people don’t package things right and pay for insurance so they don’t have to deal with it when the product gets fucked up in transit.

Edit: I like your new username Dylan…even though u have an avatar with a massive turbo in it lol

Why you say that? I respect people that build there cars with good quaity parts and work. As long as you keep everything legit and not rocking fake sh!t and trying to make it pass as real deal parts you have a thumbs up from me.  
The mf10l’s are for sale so whenever you save up let me know. Along with a bunch of other crap from my car and some EDM/UKDM CRX parts I got from when I went on my trip overseas
