F4K3 1D's '98 Red Coupe. UPDATE 4/9/12

[F4K3 1D]

Just picked my car up from the shop after having a new engine put in to replace the aging original F23a1. I managed to find a local F20b with 80,000km on it and got it for a good price. Shoaib at JDM Source here in Calgary hooked me up and their mechanic did a great job on the install (see picture below).

Couple things....

There are one or two treads on here about the B2 kit, while it IS probably one of the better looking body kits for this car (you'll find bodykits aren't very popular on this site), there have been fitment issues with the kit. One guy on here Darryl (shavedaccord) never even got his on the car because the fitment was so terrible, that the amount of modification that it was going to take to get it on the car made it not worth it.

Regarding the shaving of door handles......there are a couple of guys on here that have done this as well (again Darryl, shavedaccord), and they will tell you it was one of the biggest mistakes they ever made. It's just not practical on a daily driver, and if your battery goes dead, you basically ****ed.

Regarding the tail lights and headlights, search for reviews on them and you'll see that most people that have had them have gone back to stock or modified stock lights. I don't think anyone here will support the underglow lights either.

Sounds like you have a lot of good plans for the car. I would just suggest doing a little more research before you dive in. Anything you can think of to do to your car, has been done here and there is a thread about it.

Good luck, welcome to the site.

Nay on headlight/halos. Just get or make your own blackhoused. Also nay on underglow neons.. That was played out a long time ago. Everything else sounds like a good plan to me!

JMillerua6, russianred, and for the welcomes from others: THANK YOU. I've been searching around for lips and, yeah, from what I've read about fitting kits, I'll put some more thought into it.
