Default Old School Moment w/ TLDriver...*Pics*

Decided to introduce another SC from Ventura. "TLDriver" has been a buddy of mine since elementary school and recently got into a 96 SC3 5-Speed. It's only been a short while since he's had it, but it is quickly transforming. He's added:

- VIS knockoff "Vertex-Style" kit (Was horrible before going onto the car - but after extensive massaging, it actually fit a lot better)
- OEM style Carbon Fiber Hood(painted over)
- Complete re-spray (Honda's Basque Red Pearl) - Paint came out gorgeous!
- Corbeau TRS Seats
- 92-96 Trunk Spoiler
- Tein CS Coilovers,Momo Steering Wheel and Xerd Header(came with the car)
- IS 300 wheels(he won't be rockin these for much longer...)
Plans:
- 18 or 19 inch wheels
- Foglights
- Going lower...
- Boost

I decided to snap some pics at our old middle school, De Anza...
Boy, this place brought back some memories for us...from playing intermural sports to launching our class-made rockets to hunting for lizards.

Anyhow, on with the crappy "point and shoot" pics

I love that color. It almost looks like the late model burgundy.

i think that front end would look a lot sexier with an intercooler up there...otherwise it's looking pretty good!

Looking good. Something looks different about your ccw's that I just can't put my eye on.

They were dirty and the brush aluminum finish tricks the camera when the sun hits it...sometimes it's shiny, sometimes it's dull...LoL
