how about you save 1350 and not buy the vertical door hinges.
you dont drive a lambo.

all show no go ?

[Q_ball]

save the 1350 and buy some nice rims instead
550 for hids on a dc??
ripped!!
you can get em for around 350!

why dont u just get a small turbo setup for that money and have a real sleeper

ur not after performance? then u jus want the exhaust for the noise..? man jus get any cannon and itll make the noise.. dont spend alot of money on an exhaust if ur not after performance... well thats wat i gathered from wat u said anyway..

looks like ur lookin into a show car anyway instead of a track car.. so hers wat i think.. before u put on ur lambo doors.. why not get some nice big bling rims to match with ur wb kit..

then look at a suspension setup to match..

and q is right.. tahts alot for HIDs.. anyway ur already gettin it done so its all good :thumbsup:

lambo doors FTL.. imo eheh

[IN73GZ]

or get toda internals and build a sleeper

Why didnt you get a charade then? or even a GSI.?

[Iwishiwasa Type R]

:thumbsup: Do what you please champ. At least your honest about what you want.

I suggest a big F- off rexy bonnet scoop and get the razo HID kit I think it turns out to be about 50 bucks cheaper and you ahve to install yourself.

[Q_ball]

its obvious that the guy wants a show car of some sort!
respect to the bling, im all for it.
lambo doors....mayb....but u didnt say u had rims already...id go rims over the doors if i was still runnin on stock gear.
if youre only after exhaust tone, and not performance, then jst get a cannon from super cheap, 100-150 bucks....done n done!

wide body guards, plz, if ur goin down this path, make it look good and not like *cough* casnova *cough lol, where the guards look like theyre stuck on.
too cheap lookin imo.

and seriously, HIDs shouldnt be costing u 550+, 350 will get u a good kit, and u can install urself, not very hard at all.

Wow 5k and no go stuff. www.Ebay.com.au FTW!

Ok Edit: $5k ($3,781USD) should get you a turbo kit ($2,500USD), ARP stud kit ($250USD), better head gasket ($100USD), newer bearings from Calico Coatings ($160USD), and a Greddy e-manage with harness ($500USD). That's like $3,560USD and still some for shipping if it's not in AUS!!

Dude, he's not after performance. He wants looks and we should all respect that. Everybody to their own tastes. I say, if you wanna go for vertical door hinges go for it. Then post up ur pix!
Never seen an integra with lambo doors before

[Jon_51]

I saw a yellow dc2 with black bonnet and bootlid that had lambo doors, they didn't quite do it for me. Shame, the car looked so tough untill he opened the door and got out.
As said to each their own though ;)

and as for u w/body guards u aint gonna get any widebody guards even the bolt on ones for that price..... so g/l with it all

[tofu R]

Burn is TOTALLY the correct term in this case..

[bubblecivic]

FFS all those that say why don't he go for the sleeper factor, god damn not everyone is after all performance, all GO and no show shit...

I respect diff people's taste and if you prefer all show then go for it!

I would have to agree with everyone here saying you shuold get some bling rims rather then spending $1300 on those lambo doors. Get a nice kit and dump the car! Maybe even a decent SQ stereo with custom boot setup... whatever you find is most important mate....

Goodluck on the venture

[Spunkymonkey]

If you want to burn $5000 on a dc2, you can pass it on to me so I can spend it on mine :P just kidding

If your after looks I would agree with the others, get some nice looking rims. You could go a leather interior if you like.

Why didnt you get a charade then? or even a GSI.?

Would have saved a bit of money on car and on insurance and would have had a car thats just as quik.;)

So u would have had more than 5000 to play with too.:thumbsup:

[theHKway]

hey... thx for all the input guys!

yeh, i'm all after show. i don't need any performance
i drive in bumper to bumper traffic, lol
and i dont want to trash my car
i live 5mins away from the city and my GF lives int eh heart of the city also

i really beleive that i dont need to prove myself to any 1 that wants to race me.
i like to cruise not race.
and chicks dont dig sleepers i dont think (unless ur rich enough for both, i envy u)
i just want to build a drop dead hot car.
y drive to fast when it will look so damn hot!

from what i hear, i think i really did over pay for the HID's! damn... i paid $550... but they are NICE!!!
i'll post pics tomorrow

also.. i forgot the mention!! (my bad!)
they already have 17" racing hearts (or how evau spal it..)
koni shox and pedder springs
the car is so low can i cannot open the passenger doors 3/4 of the places i go to
mates have to get out b 4 i park it.

and i just chose a $2000 dvd player and another amp over flared guards
car now has full system that i'm happy with the works

i still have $3000 left??
but 1350 is still for doors, and the rest it for a kit. but...

WHERE DO I FIND A SUPPLIER FROM MELBOURNE?!!!

HELP!!

[yourfather]

maybe get a respray

[RyDC5S]

If your after looks, you should have just bought a GSi model. With the money saved - you can alter it more with that cash.


Try Motorware, they are in Melb.

[VTECACCORD]

before you pay for your amp and sub go see FHRX, his prices are good, you wont get ripped off.

[[XsCaPe]]

FFS the guy didnt ask to be critisised. his car is already dumped (more so than most dc2s here), it doesnt need bling bling wheels either.. i say good on him as he isnt another JDM sheep.

burning 5k on performance is only going to cost you a lot more in the long run, get you into trouble & most likely you will not increase the value of the car at all. with the police cracking down more than ever, the last thing you want is mods which can get you sent to mcleod.

dude - if you have some spare change, i suggest painting the centre of the rims black (leave the dish/lip polished silver). it will look better & it also makes the wheels look bigger. if you dont end up going widebody, look for a mugen (or mugen-style) kit... you might want to spend some money getting a good intake as well.

Lmao...Thats an awesome quote...In fact my new MSN name...

As for $5000...I dunno, maybe some pics would help and i'm for the lambo doors, it'll make you stand out...

[Q_ball]

On a nicely done up car, lambo doors on tegs look great...eg Will's [IMLOWR] teg! :thumbsup:
