I'd like to join in

I just bought my g in June of 2013. The 2nd week I had it someone hit my car while it was parked outside my house while I was at work. Anyways just wanted to post pics, ask questions, learn a few thing from everybody here. Here's one pic/collage the day I brought it home. More to come.

Yea future plans let's see.

That crappy shift **** has been replaced with the oem one. And I already ordered a m1 Abrams
removed the headlight tint
plasti dipped my rims gold
Replaced my drivers side door because someone hit me and I painted it black
Plasti dipped rear badge I might debadbed it
It's already on tein s techs but I plan on getting stance coilovers and cambers
Nrg quick release and hub
nardi classic steering wheel
Diy footwell lighting
I changed my interior lighting to red LEDs
Touchscreen stereo
Back up camera
Radar detector wire tapped to rear view mirror
Lug nuts kics r40 or mutekis
Stillen gen 2 or borla exhaust still can't decide- too many contradicting posts

Car already has a pop charger and a performance clutch I was thinking about mrev2 and plenum spacer but I don't know if it's really worth it

In the future when I get my own place and a garage
Vip modular rims
Repaint my entire car. Black cherry mica or a really really dar purple

I finished school and have a full time job but now I'm back in school full time work full time. More education more money

Then I tried my luck at painting it. Been over a month still not done. Lemme warn you. It doesn't look good yet. Hopefully it will look decent. I wanted to try and paint it. Prolly next summer I'll get the door and front bumper reprinted. Or the whole car. Just depends.

For me I just always wanted one. Since I had my crx and integra. And I saw pics of someone on here with the nardi classic in their G. And Mann did it look sexxxy. They also had the works bell quick release but that's just not practical for me. NRG will be just fine

If you want performance then yeah It's definitely worth it, it's considered the best bang for your buck performance mod for these cars. Also let us know how that door turns out.

yea I don't know what happen to that lug nut. I never took the rims off since I bought the car nor did i notice a missing lug when I plastidipped my rims the first time but because of this I bought a torque wrench.
When I had a CRX I forgot to tighten the lug nuts and my rear wheel came off, rolled into a fence, while my car dragged on the drum brakes, then i sold the car a week later.

Im not a fan of the two tone so I painted them black.
