I've been away for a few weeks, but I thought I would return with some updates.

Initially, I was only going to fix some rust around the rear wheels. But then I started thinking of getting some minor dents and dings fixed too, along with painting the mirrors and door handles. Then I wanted to shave the antenna and rear washer nozzle. Then that turned into "Why don't I just paint the whole car?" It was probably only a few hours later that I figured "Now's a good time for a JDM front."

And now, here's the result of 2 months of bodywork and paint.

Check out more pics here and tell me what you think.

whats up with those seats brother?

I don't know, what about 'em? They're white leather and blue alcantara (synthetic suede) if that's what you're asking. More details in this thread.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Yeah Bas I saw your classified ad. I'm using the JDM plastic headlights right now. I really want some glass EDM H4 lights, but this project has nearly drained my funds. I'm moving next week too, so I don't think I can afford them right now. The paint is done too. It's staying the way it is, even if it does look a bit 'front-heavy'. I wanted to accentuate the front-end styling and highlight the (fake) brake ducts, hence the decision to paint the bottom of the front bumper. I didn't paint the lower trim elsewhere because I felt it would get dirty too easy, and I didn't want everything to be white. It may be hard to notice, but the front lip is Flint Black
