#332561 Picked up the milano red eg8 about a year ago. Came with a jdm d15b non-vtec swap with 60,000 miles. I picked this up as daily driver b/c I have a super far commute to work everyday. I had an eg8 with a b18c1 and alot of chassis/suspension mods back in 04 but ended getting hit head-on by a camaro. So, I never got to finish my previous eg8.

Here is some things I done to it sorta in order.
I would like to track it on the weekends whenever I get it to that point. And here is to the build:


Front hood is looking rough, clear coat peeling off and front bumper had no clear, and driver's fender had dents and clear is coming off too. It came with apc m3 mirrors, so I got rid of them and got some ebay replica oem mirriors. Went to the junkyard and got some side door pilllars for the passenger side. (Mine came with none. LOL)


Got bored and slapped some 4300k hids, amber corner lens, oem side mirrors, oem replica fogs in with 3k hids, and diy red tails.

Front bumper looks like crap. LOL

#332564 Sprayed the oil cap with candy apple red(looks like shit but whatever)
Re-cleared the front bumper(need a new one b/c this one is fked but I am on a budget)

Tried to blend the hood in from the peeling clear but turned out like crap, oh well. Entire hood needs to be repainted.

#332565 Installed some braces today.

Front lower, rear lower, rear upper.
Cleaned out the rear trunk too.

Vaccumed, scrub, and hosed off the trunk chassis under the carpet and
I was able to put a spare tire, hydro-jack, and a jump box all underneath the carpet, not bad.

#332566 Started some bodywork on the front hood and fixing all the chips and cracks in the clear coat.

My tanabe gf-210 springs finally showed up.
Can't wait for the 1.5"/1.0" drop.

Thanks man, Idk. Was hoping yall can give me some ideas. I know I want to run 225/50/R15 tires...

Some ideas I had are kosei k1's, 949 wheels, trk lite wheels, and maybe even the evil xxr 530s.. lol

The wheel color will be something I need to be able to live with, plus I dont want to attract to much attention to thieves.

I am going to try to throw the springs on and work on the hood tomorrow.
May pick up a new aftermarket driver's fender.
