Don't think I need to say much, and I'm not quite ready to reveal everything that is getting done. I'll just post pictures along the way. Almost everything should be done by this weekend. Still waiting on the hood & front bumper to arrive...

Thanks guys :)

mikespeed,
The whole kit is Vertex. S14 sides/rear. S15 front.

SilviaDriver,
SWAAT.

NiteKids,
RO_JA Formula 5. 18x8 225/40 front, 18x9 265/35 rear. The rears have about a 2.5" lip, the fronts have about 1.5~1.75ish lip. I think that angle just doesn't do them justice.

btw...here are a few more pics from today's progress. The car needed some body work and that's been taking the majority of the time:

Hey...that coke can adds about 7whp man :cool:

Don't worry, the power will be coming along shortly. Wanted to get the body work done first.

the car is gonna have nice flow when ur done with it.. u plan on keeping that nice red..??or repainting to a different color.. anyways looks like u need help on the body work tho.. if i was there i would help... should cake some primer on the fiberglass parts and block them.. so they wont become wavy...no alot of ppl do that.. i really like that red..

anubis9228,
SR20 + 5spd, yes sir :D

excellon,
As SilviaDriver pointed out, its a '95

statik,
All of my body parts came from Underground Motorsports.

infinitexsound,
I'm keeping it a similar shade of maroon. Not a huge fan of the stock maroon color (no offense to anyone with the color)... I'm changing it to '03-04 Trailblazer maroon, Sapphire Red Met. Its a tad more red and a tad more metallic and just a much richer color overall IMHO.

Sorry ;) ...progress pretty much haulted during the week cause I've been pretty busy. I'm sure I'll get just about everything wrapped up over this weekend and trust me, I'll post more pics as things progress.
