Wow, I didn't expect so much feedback so fast. Thanks for the kind words fellas.
Yes I know the heatshield is an eyesore. I tried to have it ceramic coated when I got the manifold done, but the place couldn't get it to stay on?? They tried it twice and I just wanted it back at that point. I'll probably do it in the winter or something when the car is garaged.
SE-Rican - thanks for the gloss. When I first joined the boards, I considered yours the best. And yes, they're TE-37 Cups.
chriscar - That's my Home Depot/Tsuru grille. Here's a hint:
Veilside180sx - Yeah, it's painted. It's the first attempt my buddy did with this paint. Don't know if you can tell, but the paint fades like a gradient from silver to black. He's going to do another one for me the same color as the emblems. It's gonna be a copper top. It's holding up just fine. The VC paint is awesome, I might have him try my something with my calipers someday. He can give any color a chrome look!
About the bumper, yes it's a Sunny bumper, but it's modified. It secretly embraces an Accord lip molded into it. The idea was for this car to be fast (and it is) and hot in a subtle way. I really don't get many looks and I like it! There's so much more that's done to the outside that you guys aren't noticing or commenting on - so I guess I'm achieving my goal.
