The pics thread

Well, my brother and I got the car put together today, for the most part. Here are some pictures of the progression:

There's still a few things we have left to do, like install the new front lip, window visors, stereo, re-buff the car, paint the wheels, etc. Once she's completely done I'll post more pictures.

It took us a good 30 hours of work to go from the pictures I posted a couple pages ago to this. It's not hard though, just time consuming.
 
There's a few reason I decided to do an all over paint job.

1. I had the time and money to do it.
2. It's my favorite car color by far. It just looks so badass in person. The pictures do it no justice.
3. To be different. I've never seen any car with this paint color. And that's what modification should be about. Not just bolting shit on.
 
people who give that much of a shit about their car amaze me

i don't get how anyone can view a car as anything more than something functional
 
Well some cars have particularly notable aesthetic qualities and other cars are notable feats of engineering either, for the time, or presently.
 
What do you compose your music with?

A somewhat more tame version of this...

All the same pedals and effects and stuff but it's much more consolidated now...still wish I had more small cables, but it looks more chaotic and amusing with tons of colored 3' cables everywhere.
 
Here's a few more showoff pictures of the car in honor of Mort, since he's such a huge car fan. :hahamiddlefinger:

The front end is a little dirty but I wanted to show off the gunmetal Acura badge (used to be chrome) next to the black of the grill and the blue.
