Post subject:  hello to everybuddy
what up to all....My name is Johnny and i am from a place called Visalia in Central California. i have a 1998 EJ8 and 2004 EM2( daily driver)


I got the EJ8 from a friend of a friend a while back for a really good price....Guy was going to the Navy and did not want it anymore. i figured it would be a fun project?
Image after about four or five times of walking to my car after work and saying "who the f*ck hit me" (there are alot of careless parallel parkers in my city) i realized fiberglass bumpers werent made for everyday use (plus most are a bit tacky).

Now i currently have a stock 96-98 front bumper w/ a mugen style lip, a 99-00 rear bumper with a type R style rear lip, and am stuck with some molded buddy club sides...and shaved side moldings. :?
Image i have a few parts on the way and sitting in my room that i need to put on:

DC short throw shifter
Honda CTR 96-98 headlamp
16" gramlight 57S rims
HKS Hi-power cat-back Exhaust
VIS OEM CF hood
Greddy D16Y8 Turbo kit w/ gauges
Greddy FMI kit

Image im horrible at taking pictures.

everyone has their own opinion and yours wont hurt my feelings (that much) lol

Thank you for taking time to read this!
