what do you mean? do you have any pics so i could see what youre talking about? might be very interested

i think he means spray some underbody stuff that'll make it black in yer wheelwell instead of the faded black plastic like i have.

I visualize where you're going with the car in terms of color combo & I'm diggin it yo. Nice contrasts with silver & black....ur going up the same alley I will be, should look tight. About the larger rims... for 15" stock, I wouldn't go above 17" unless ur going all show. Weight is in issue PER rim/tire combo...remember that....you can loose power.

NICE CAR. that's exactly what I want mine to look like, eventually.

i really like the look of those tailights on your car. its refreshing to not see clear tailights, or even the dredded altezzas.
i prefer hoods with no scoops for some reason so i would have gone with the smooth carbon fiber hood, however if those let heat out of the engine bay like it appears they do, i am all for it. less heat=more power. Also, what kind of job do you have if you dont mind me asking? you dont have to answer if you dont want to, i just wonder how people sometimes get the budget's for their car. especially since you have a pretty in depth list of potential mods. good luck with everything, i hope it goes the way its planned.

HONDAFAN81:youre right, you do lose some power but i got them for looks and i could easily take them off whenever i go to the track and swap in some smaller ones...the only thing that i miss is that little squeal i used to make when i was taking off from a driveway and also the hard pull you get when you slam down the gas pedal on the freeway...no hard pull just a steady gain of speed...but like i said, i dont race on the street so i really dont worry about losing power on my daily driven car...i just swap them at the track, strip her down and im good to go

PAX217: thanks, as you can see its not an overnite makeover for me either...ive had my car for more than 4 years and i only started modifying her for the past 2 so slowly but steady im getting there...i just want to focus on the engine now then the minor body work i want and finally the paint job

PUNKROCKIMPORT: i fell in love with those headlights when i first saw them and to this day i still like them...i was thinking about painting the inside black covering the c.f. look but i dont know how to do that right now...but im happy with them, plus they match with the hood, and c.f. spoiler im planning on gettin...and maybe a c.f. trunk. but as far as the hood, it was something i stumbled across and i liked it also...i wanted to get the black widow 2 hood but they dont make it for our cars (wouldve been better in c.f.) so this was my second choice plus i havent seen any other cb7's with this hood so thats an extra point for originality plus they do let out heat...when i first put it on i was startled to see all this smoke coming out but it was just the water evaporating cuz i had just washed my car so its a functional hood. as for my job, i work in a lab for the los angeles department of health services...but before that i used to work at pizza hut so i didnt have much money to spend on my car until recently...now im just spending like crazy

THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE COMMENTS...KEEP THEM COMING, GOOD OR BAD

I really like the stuff on your car except the tail lights. I have carbon fiber altezzas too. I just think the lights on yours look too small to flow with the car. Other than that it's pretty sweet. What material did you use for your seats and doors?

[4thGen4dr]

Car looks good, I dont really like altezzas but they look good on ur car. All red would be good but might be too plain compared to the rest of the car. More pics!

SICK looking car man, definite props to you.. I'm very impressed with all the work you've done to it, I wish you had some interior shots, because it looks hott. The only thing i'm surprised about is that with all the work you put into it, it's not dropped yet.. I'm sure that's in the near future for you though... Keep up the good work.

[arrozburner]

fearit22: im hoping i could change your mind once i paint the car a nice silver color ive seen on the mp3's or newer accords so that my taillights could look better against that color...or maybe i will see that it wont look good and i'll change them but either way we will have to wait till the paint jobe is on the seats are wrapped in black and silver vynil...i was going to go with leather but that wouldve been too much maintenance conditioning it so that it wont crack and look nasty...vinyl is still good cuz i could wipe up spills without being pissed about ruining the leather...plus everyone thnks its leather so either way im good

4thgen4dr: with all the mods ive done to the car i try to look in the future to see if they will go with the finished product so im hoping everything will come together when im done...im not doing major body work to it just shaving some stuff so the tail lights along with the hood will be a nice contrast at the end. i'll try to put more pics up soon once i lower it and install the new steering wheel and change the bulb colors on my dash...oh, and nce my lap top is fixed cuz thats where i have all my programs and picks

trendyexr: thanks for the compliments, i'll try to put some more interior shots up once i fix my lap top...i still have some more stuff to install like a steering wheel and change the climate control color but i'll try to put some up asap...about the height, i have a set of tein stech springs waiting to be installed i just havent had the time or money to put them up yet...they should give me a nice 2in drop in the front and a 1.5 in. drop in the rear...i have them in my room i just need to put them on...anyone in the so cal area willing to help me out with the spring install?

[DrLove'sKuDang]

looks nice so far. as others are, im not a big far of kits, but youre doin alright. cant wait to see it after the paint job. i understand what you mean by the contrasting colors, but im not sure any paint scheme could pull off altezzas, imo. but its ok, if it ends up not lookin that hot... its a cheap fix. personally i thing it would look nice with red tails or some red/clears.

[Fearit22]

Any advice or a link to a DIY on the vinyl seats? Is it possible to do it by yourself easily? If you can't help maybe I'll just post about it in the appearence section because I really dig those seats.

[arrozburner]

DrLove'sKuDang: yeah, if i dont like how they look after the paint job im going to get a set of red and clears...i like how they look on a silver civic so i know it'll look better on our cb7's

fearit22: i dont have a link or any great advice of how you could do your seat all i could tell you is what my cousin told me. he said its fairly simple, it just takes some time to unstitch the seat and carefully seperating all the pieces that make up the seat cover. after you seperate them you use these as templates to get patterns on the new material (vynil being mine). after you have all the new pieces you just simply stitch them back up again (using the ther seat as a guide) and youre done. you could start off small (like the rear side cushions) to familiarize yourself with the process. good luck.
