Why do people always assume that you need spacers to be flush?! Haha, just kidding.
I've got 15mm adapters up front and just some washers in the back to get it to clear the trailing arm and coilover. ;)

How did you get your pictures like that on photoshop? Especially on that second one, that effect looks awesome!
No Photoshop here! Although I'd love to have it... Haha I just upload them, adjust a couple of levels, and post them up. :) Thanks for the compliment!

I've always loved his car! I've been following it for a looong time. Very proper!

Thanks man, it's definitely a work in progress. Good for a daily as it is, though! ;)

your tib is so nasty man
Thanks a lot! Hopefully it gets nastier. Haha :)

I say put the Meisters on the Civic...that would be beast.
That's the plan, at the moment! ;) I've been considering leaving the car white (with a re-paint, of course), and then getting white-faced Meisters for it. 15x9 +5 up front and -5 in back, is what I've been thinking lately.

Well, I haven't updated in a while, so here's the latest!
In a week or two, I'm going to be ordering some real-deal custom coilovers for the Civic because the setup I have now is gonna end up breaking the strut tower out from the strut bottoming out. Haha I've ordered several new front end components for it, and I'm going to order a bunch of new hardened rubber bushings as well.
I also got a new front bumper for it that I'm going to shave the tag mounts off of.
As for the Tiburon, I'm thinking about doing the body work and prepping it for paint myself. I've been having a fun time shaving everything off of my friends truck and molding things and whatnot, so I certainly wouldn't mind the thought of doing it myself. Plans have changed, but I think I'm just gonna keep it under wraps until I have some progress to show. ;)
In other news, we had the Hot Rod Nationals cruise in OKC last night, at which the Tib was VERY well recieved. It made me feel quite special. Haha I had people stopping me just to say that I had the cleanest Tib they had EVER seen or just to say that it looked great in general. I also heard a lot of, "What is that?" "Is that a Tiburon?", as I drove by all of the people sitting and spectating. It was nice to know that it stood out even in a crowd like that! :)

tyler man youre a madman. you cant even keep your dd stock haha.

im excited to see what you have coming man. you execute well
Haha, I know, it's a terrible curse... ;) I can't wait to get the in depth build going! There's soooo much more available for the Civic. It's not even right...

His DD is a Pathfinder or something like that.
Ahh, I actually never got that. I just discussed the possibility of it if my grandpa would sell it to me, but he wasn't ready to let go of it. Oh well! I didn't really need it. Haha

what did you have to do to the tiburon's front end to lower it soo much?? did you have any clearance issues?
Pull the fenders and set the coilovers as stiff as I could. No clearance issues! Unless ground clearance is the issue. Haha
