Before you make an LS/vtec, I would recommend swapping in a GSR or B16 transmission. It will help out your acceleration better then converting to VTEC would with your current transmission.

If you want to properly build an LS/VTEC it will cost a good chunk of money. We have a topic on how to build one that will last more then 6months.

My LS/Vtec is going to cost me $1500-$1700 in parts, Then I will have $300-600 in Getting it tuned. Building an LSvtec properly isn't cheap. And thats with me have a Full b16 swap already.

Car overall is a pretty good base. For the Body/Apperence I would higly recommend some 15" rims and a Coupe Bumper.

- Sun Nov 15, 2009 1:54 pm #156647 I actually used a spray gun so I just mixed black paint with clear coat and added coats on it till it came out as dark as I wanted it.. They sell this spray paint that is just as good its called vht nightshades they should sell it at your local oreilly its only about 10 bucks..

Just make sure to clean the lights really good before you apply the paint
