Yellow P5 Progress...So Fresh...Lots of Pics...

[ScratchNSniff]

Well, after many threads with terrible camera phone shots, I decided that it was time to borrow a better camera and take some good pics...my photo skills are definitely not that great, but I did as good as I could...Mod list is at the bottom, and drop is on the way...Thanks for looking and please comment...I have put a lot of work into this car so far...unfortunately I forgot to take pics of the blackout interior that I finished last week along with the audio equipment...

Please give comments on what you like or don't like...I am very open to criticism...also the car has not been washed in...well I can't remember...Thanks for your time...

I really like it, get the wheels powdercoated black , they would look great. By the way what antenna is that?

Hmmm...I like the deletes....Wonder if thats why I have some sitting here.

[autoxes]

goin' mudding? You oughta look into some lowering springs or something. MSP springs can be had for < $100

Have a set on the way actually...can't wait to get them...

Yea...I do like them a lot better...and for some reason, I do not see too many P5's with them...do people just not like them or are they hard to get...

[autoxes]

The deletes are hard to find.

Your ride is pretty neat lookin' btw, I forgot to say that up there.

[808MP5]

well i like the deletes also... ppl have them... and they were never hard to get... ppl just didn't know where to get them from... forcefed and another member on the other forum got that all solved now...

Nice Yellow :)

[ForceFed]

^^^Troof (yes)

[autoxes]

I stand corrected. I had the 99-00 front end on mine, so I wouldn't know :)

[ScratchNSniff]

I learned about them on here somewhere, and just called up the dealership...they didn't have them listed, but I had a part number and they said they had a set of them...I guess people would just rather have the fogs...

[ilikeacura]

very nice but the taillight are poo!

[ScratchNSniff]

very nice but the taillight are poo!

THanks man...but what don't you like about the tailights...is it because you don't like blacked out tails or you like them done glossy...

[ilikeacura]

it just makes the car look cheep,lots of civics do that around where i live. your rims are sweet thou are you using spacers?

Not using spaces, although I would like to get some...I have seen quite a few sets lately in the FS threads, but don't have the money set aside for them as of yet...I also need to do more research and find out which size spacer is going to be the right size...

[chaztor]

looks good, nice and clean I could do w/out the tail covers too.

remember to turn off the date/time stamp on the camera next time though.

Don't sweat the ride height Pro5's are low enough stock (flame protection activated)

[shane02pro5]

Looks like you have a nice start!

^And cuss you...all P5's should be lowered!

[Silver Ecstasy]

Car looked great...BUT

What inspired you to take pictures next to a Semi trailer. Let alone, park your car underneath a semi trailer. I'm just dieing to know what was the creativity or art behind that, because that does nothing to compliment your car at all.

Excuse the harsh criticism, but i'm just saying. It's almost as bad as the guy who took pictures of his car next to a fucking shopping cart...I bit my tongue on that one, but this took the cake.

yeah the first one was kind-a artsy but it should have ended there... but an A for effort.

Thanks for the comments...I thought it was low enough also, but figured it may look better a bit lower so I got some MSP springs on the way...the tails are actually done in the niteshades, so unfortunately those are permanent...and I agree about the time stamp on the camera, but cannot find the instruction manual and can't seem to figure how to turn it off...Thanks...

Thanks...I was actually waiting for my girl at the doctors office and decided to run out and take a few pics...unfortunately, there was a doctors parking lot, run-down semitrailer in a lot, and an old train depot...so that is where my choices came from...not to mention my photography skills are very basic...

It's all good man, next time try to sort it out with contrasting colors.

IE. A black building, or a white building with completely black asphalt parking lot would be cool because yellow is such a strong and bold color. And what better to contrast it with black & white.

Car looks good but I don't understand why you stuffed your car under that trailer

Thanks...and yea...(shrug)

[mx-p5]

Looks good. Only thing I might suggest is flipping the bumper markers around so they sorta follow the shape of the headlights.

Other than that, looks good!! Just picked up an S2000 ant as well.

My car now haz VTEK YO!

[kuboola]

Doesn't really matter what we think, as long as you like your ride...

Few things from my point of view...

-Blacked out tail-lights = getting rear-ended and it being YOUR fault, please be careful.
-Fog-light removal? Why? Mine help A LOT for night-time viewing of upcoming pot-holes.
-Not a fan of the web-site stickers on the a-pillars.
-Headlights look like they need waxed.
-Black/Yellow combo looks GREAT! Glad to see you didn't take it too far and do black wheels, I think black wheels look GHETTO...

Thanks...

1. They are actually a lot lighter than they look and are CLEARLY visible during the day...
2. Ran over a stop sign and busted front right fog...it was cheaper and also covered up a lot of the damage to the front bumper...
3. Uh...
4. That was actually before I washed and used the Mequires PlasticX...they are crystal clear now...
5. Thanks a bunch...and I have actually thought of black wheels, but am not to sure of it yet...I actually really like the color the stock rims are...

[azlanb6b8]

nice car man! good colour combination.

how much $$ for an S2000 antenna?

I picked up an RDX stubby for $18, but I think the reception isnt too hot...

Got it for free off the local forum...

As for the pics not working...I switched most of the pics out and into an album therefore changing the tags...

[onkaimax]

hope to see the pics again, thx^^

[Vocko]

Pics from the first post dont work.
I want to see your interior, especially how the seats from the 3 look. Was it difficult to fit them in ?
