nice man, industrial design sounds interesting.

well i have put on my spoiler. I did not do a write up though, because mostly you line it up and drill holes.

I will mention however that
1. you have to drill though the two layers of the boot which can be difficult if you have to drill on an angle.
2. i covered the holes with killrust paint to prevent any rusting from the newly drilled holes.

oh and the boot is alot heavier, and slams shut

Anyways here are the pictures.







Next to come is the wagovan skirts

and possibly red pinstiping? opinions on that please? maybe another colour would look better? can anyone use photoshop and show me an example?

Man, that looks clean. Great stuff, it looks very similar to the Civic one.

When my car was grey i thought that white pin striping worked well. I think red might stand out a bit, and not match anything? Maybe get some coloured rims and then find pinstriping to match the colour?

Thanks mate : )
I might have to give white a try then.

The only thing i dislike about my car is the gap from my tyre to my wheel wells. I really wanna get low king springs. Will i need new shocks if i get new springs? Could i just get them second hand...or can like prelude or integra springs go in and make them lower?

And and and anyone got any suggestion for the rims i should put on my car, im looking for something stock and cheap. so integra or prelude rims. nothing like Nr10's or watevs but yeahh suggestions appreciated

Putting larger wheels on will reduce the gap. 16"s are the biggest you really want to go though, otherwise it starts to look like a 4x4.

You can put king springs on with stock shocks, though the lower your car is the faster it'll wear the stock shocks out.  Integra springs will actually make the car sit higher, I'm not sure about the Prelude, but the Accord makes it sit higher as well so i've heard.

You should try and find some adjustable coilovers. That way you can adjust the height to whatever you want.
