All done! Well besides lining up all the panels and putting the splash guards in. I'm doing an oil change, puttings redline mt90 in it, and putting my new 2.25 stainless exhaust and my cross drilled and slotted rotors on at the end of this week... I'll post up pics when its completely done up... till then... does anyone know where I can get enkei caps to replace my vw ones on my rims??? I've got the 15" Enkeis

:laugh: in case you don't know Mike (Master Shake) always tells me to lower my stock MK5 Rabbit (since his is hugging da' ground), now I got a new line of BS for him...thanks. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

BTW I think I'd do a double take, since your's looks factory still, but something would be off, and I wouldn't be able to sleep at night till it hit me. Very subtle, good work.

haha... theres plenty of stories behind that crx... started out with a 1.6, then a b18 which we board out and threw in ross pistons and eagle connecting rods, aem fuel rail an fuel pressure regulator, aem power pulley kits, adjustable cam gears, and the engine an valve cover are painted to match. the color scheme is neon green and blue.. we used to have a carbon fiber hood on it. Its got dc sports headers and some random catback, and 17" rims... I'll find some pics an throw them up somewhere soon... Ya I've got plenty of time to work on this baby.. I picked up the new exhaust sleeve clamp from the dealership this morning..

haha this just in... the kid I did the swap with... on the way home... he crashed and destroyed my entire front end... there was nothing left of it... but... the oh so sweet part.... actually the worst part... he had no collision... the hood, bumper, grille destroyed... its sad... I gave him all four of my silverstar bulbs instead of just giving him the regular ones. and that kamei grille looked nice... but oh well... I've still got my sweet front end...

Well what happened is... sometimes you do a front end swap with a buncha drunk kids and then on the way home they lock the brakes up and smash into the back of a pickup truck...

what sucks even more for them is that they rear-ended the other car, so their insurance is going to sky rocket!
