rear disks have to go on... I got them last year and have prepped them all up nice and got cross-drilled rotors for them... now I just got to make sure everything lines up and do it.

I'm waiting on my new tires. I want to do adjustable coilovers -vs- performance springs. My car is too low and I need more flexibility with it.

I'm getting a paint job at the end of May. Then some suspension work.
PDog,
You check out the Invader style VIS hoods?

I have the Invader. It doesn't look bad. I look at it sometimes and try to imagine my car with the OEM CF. I dunno, I know I would like it, but the Sol looks pretty nice with the Invader on there.

I like VIS in terms of their quality. My kit is by them.

Definitely good stuff.
PDog, what don't you like about Invaders? The non functional scoop?

sorry solpol...it takes me awhile to get to these sometimes...
Yeah I just dont like the scoop...I mean there wasnt one there to begin with when the car is stock...so I just dont feel the need for it. People have told me that the invader style would look good on the civic...but I just dont feel it. Why dont you pop us a pic of your invader?? I'd like to see it

the invader hood looks good here and there....on the del sol i think i'd like it....i even liked one w/ z3 fenders i think...to me del sols seem like they should be more aggressive then totally clean cut JDM look.....
And i'm not quite sure about the glowing gills of the z3 fender...but whatever makes you happy...and able to enjoy your work on the car.....
c'mon there's gotta be more besides painting and suspension

PDog,
Here's some pics.
Don't mind the purple, it'll be gone soon :yes: :yes: :yes:
What I like best about the Invader is that if you look at it, it's half a Honda symbol.

what exactly is that purple piece.....
SolPol

If you look, it's on the sides too.
The guy I bought the car from had bought it for his daughter. He fixed it all up and gave it a paint job. It's on the top too. Was on the hood, trunk and roof. Got new pieces for those. He painted it that way for his daughter, but when she was about to get her license, the mother decided the car was too small and wanted her to drive something else.
So, the car had been completely over hauled and I got a good price on it. Bought it in November, I should have it painted back all black at the end of May. I am putting all the original pieces back on for the paint job so I will get before pics for everyone (it's hideous, you see the sides?)
Should come out a nice shiny black. The guy is using a single stage so it's real shiny, then sanding that and putting on 2 or 3 coats of clear :)

Looks good SolPol, you need a drop! I hope you plan on painting over the CF hood as well as the body. That would look really nice.
As far as my mod plans, here goes:
New car (g35)
14lb Jun Flywheel (maybe)
20% Window Tint
Clear Corners
Red Grounding Kit
MB Quart 6.5" Speakers
MB Quart 1" Tweeters
Some kind of amp
Crawford Zedders
Crawford High-Flow Cats
High-Flow Intake Plenum
Y-Pipe and straight pipe, possible some flowmaster 40-series mufflers (no, these wont make it sound like a z28)
um... hopefully I will still have money after this...
I will buy the ATI Procharger a few months after it comes out (so Im not the guinea pig)...
:yes: :yes:

Drop is next, after the paint job. No, no painting of CF hood. It's a black car. Looks good just CF.
