RL1924 · 05-26-2009, 03:49 PM

Figured it was time for an update.. Poped on the top today to see what it would look like the wheels, As you can see some have been edited.. the sky..

gomarlins3 · 05-26-2009, 04:43 PM

Nice.

RayYay · 05-26-2009, 04:45 PM

Damn u! Very nice! I want that hardtop so bad. I may just settle for the imitation. Anyone have experience with the cheap hardtops like on ebay?

RL1924 · 05-26-2009, 05:01 PM

... You may or may not want to hear it but thats what mine is its not a true mugen

Dmaye · 05-26-2009, 05:11 PM

That means a lot coming from you. Not to pull the old card but your an older guy correct? When I decided on modding my car I want it to look good to 20yr olds as well as 30, and 40 yr not to crazy but some thing different than oem. I would say it about other guys, But have no clue how old anyone is lol.

RL1924 · 05-26-2009, 05:27 PM

Thanks for the compliments, hardtop really does add a different look to the car even if you decide to go OEM, It will prob be off again soon though for summer

jagg · 05-26-2009, 05:33 PM

Ha Ha....I'll never tell you Sonny!!

Old enough to know better RL, for sure.
I do know that age doesn't have alot to do with taste, if that counts fer somethin'.

again, the car looks right to me. good work.

jagg

RL1924 · 05-26-2009, 05:38 PM

Nah I know age doesn't have taste... But I was going for a clean look, I can find typical front bumpers that "most" older guys will hate "most" younger guys will love, For example I had a guy that worked at honda prob in his 40's come out to look at my wheels while I was picking some thing up, Then had a bunch of 10 year olds yelling at me that they liked it, good feeling after bustin my hump to get it

Neil · 05-26-2009, 06:46 PM

Your doin a good job RL, so what if your blowing your money on a car.....its your money. I did the same thing at your age.The only thing is that you must not forget when you get older about how you felt when you were younger. Your in a great time of life...........enjoy it !

RL1924 · 05-26-2009, 06:58 PM

Thanks, The car really seems like a not so stupid thing to spend money on.. Before the S look what I blew money on

I had probably $2000 into it and its an RC car! I had sooo many more too they all had to be decked out to the max lol never even used the things just enjoyed customizing and building. Took it apart sent it out for custom anodizing.. Ya im nuts lol

jagg · 05-26-2009, 07:11 PM

Don't sweat it....

ahhhhh the money I've blown on cars.........
I wouldn't really take it back for the fun thats been had.
Well, most of it.....half would be nice.....kin I get a bailout? pleeeezzzzeeee......heh heh.

Honda007 · 05-26-2009, 07:25 PM

Looks pretty good RL, What's your offset on the rears? And are your windows tinted?

Dmaye · 05-26-2009, 07:29 PM

RL the lil RC car looks cool too put please tell me it at least had 2 gears! by the way how many CC's

RL1924 · 05-26-2009, 07:29 PM

offset is +55 in the rear 9.5" wide windows are tinted dont remember what % though

phins2rt · 05-26-2009, 08:32 PM

Lookin' good!

sittin-sidwayz · 05-27-2009, 04:24 AM

Looks VERY nice man!!! I love the wheel's and top!!!

SDHonda · 05-27-2009, 04:35 AM

That looks awesome, I love how the top turned out. I wasn't a fan of the wheels initially, but I think they really work well with your car.

leahysailor · 05-27-2009, 05:58 AM

Man it looks great, I love the wheels. I'm another of the old guys here (54) and not a big fan of the riced out look. Nothing about your car says Uncle Ben!

lonestarbuzz · 05-27-2009, 07:35 AM

lookin' great, RL

Swingle1 · 05-27-2009, 08:32 AM

Old guy here. Not nearly as old as Jagg, but catching up faster than I'd like to admit.

And no, I'm not into modding. But I gotta say your ride looks great. Very clean and understated look. Nice work.

JDMzimbo · 05-27-2009, 07:10 PM

nice, you finally popped on the hardtop for a few pics. looks super clean man!

no kidding?? Damn that looks sweet. I saw a hardtop on octanemotorsports for $799 and the hardware kit that includes the glass is $850. So is $1650 a good price to pay for one of these hardtops? Where did you get it painted?

haha well I just bought a couple pairs of kicks today so I now it's time for the hardtop! My only concern about getting the hardtop is that since the side "fake window" is black, isn't it necessary to tint your windows really dark to match it?

Check out this picture, I realize the windows are rolled down but I imagine that is what it would look like if you put on a hardtop with no tinted windows.

I don't want to tint my windows too dark, or even at all. Plus I don't need another reason for these CA cops to pull me over. Am I just being a technical bastard? What do you guys think?

Dmaye · 05-27-2009, 08:03 PM

lol not kicks (thats foot wear), shoes (rims, that what an older black guy calls them at work, he's into donks)

also that's a great call on the tint Ray, i wonder if we can get RL to post a pic or two with the windows down

RL1924 · 05-27-2009, 08:39 PM

Yea i can get some pics tomorrow with the windows down, Its not going to look bad without the tint but it deff gives it a better flow, Check out your states laws you may be able to tint just not too dark. I know here in NJ you cant have ANYTHING on the front windows but I have had no issues.

Also IMO it just doesn't look right solid painted seen it on a few cars doesn't look that good, Dont get me wrong have seen some that look good though see if i can find a pic

RL1924 · 05-27-2009, 08:41 PM

Not hating on it but just not my cup of tea

Depending on if thats Glass or plexi it may be a decent price.. I paid around 2500 total for everything with paint, paint costing me around 700, My top was around that 8-950ish got a deal on hardware for 600 with plexi tinted window if you can get glass I would. So sounds about right for the top.
