Default Little sumthin' I've been workin' on...

Before and After-

1995 SC4 loaded out with heated seats, Nakamichi, Traction. Purchased in March with only 67k miles. This was my consolation prize after selling my NSX. Set out with the intent of just making it a "daily driver". Several months and "a few" thousand dollars later..... here we are!

Hmmm, I've never seen that kit fitted on an SC. Looks good.

You have any straight on front end shots?

Verry nice, can you get some more pics of the sides and rear. Is there a gap for the sides skirts, like where you'd have to buy side moldings when upgrading to 97+?

Ask- and ye shall receive......

*Although not entirely visible in these pics, ALL front openings are fitted with black mesh from behind- air dam, OEM grille and areas beside the fog/driving lamps. Actually, it's that gutter guard from Hope Depot. Blew the budget on those clear corners!!! (Yes A.C., they ARE well worth the price!!!)

-Just kidding, the mesh is really aluminum.

Here's the best side shot I have right now. It's afternoon here and I've got too much shade.

You should see it in the sun!

Thanks.

Overall, I really like what you've done. Like AC said, fitment of the kit is good, paint matches well and the wheels have a good sized lip which the SC needs.

Good job.

EDIT: Black Pearl emblems and exhaust tips are a nice touch............
