Great progress. I built an LSVTEC for my Integra but I think I'd be scared to tear into my GS.

how did you bend the valves? pu-lease cut that exhaust down, it looks like it rests on the bumper, that will melt over time no?. it that shifter shroud made out of a mirror? i like the trd but not so much a fan of the mirroe. cant wait to see more.

edit: hey how come in the white on white thread your post are with a white car? did you paint your black or just find pics on the web?
