Finally my introduction...

So I've been lurking around on here and posting the past couple of weeks, but haven't gotten a chance to introduce myself or my ride. I took some quick pics with my phone today before I went to work (sorry for quality). She's a '99 GS-R on her way to a Type-R cloning. I'm from the Northern KY/Cincinnati area, so if you're around me say what's up!

dash clock shows 155,XXX but motor was rebuilt and has about 80,XXX at this point.

this will also act as my progress thread, there's no sense of creating two. so regular additions will be posted here. Updated 9/4/09

Welcome man, the teg looks good.
 


love the ITR spoiler.
the front end looks nice (I'm partial to the frog lights)

Just get rid of that nasty ass ghetto SRI.
Lol like I said, that was on the car when I bought it. It's just an air filter, I've seen the brand at autozone so I'm assuming that's where it came from haha.

Your car looks real clean. The only thing I notice is the rims. Normally they wouldn't look bad but you can tell they are kind of cheap rims. Since your car is so clean to me they stuck out like a sore thumb. Looked even cheaper on the car. Other than that and things you already mentioned it looks great.

I'm not a fan of the wheels myself. These were my winter wheels for my civic before I sold it, I bought this car sitting on steelies and I hate that more than anything, so I threw these on for a temporary deal. I haven't begun to look at any wheels yet, but I'm leaning towards some type of meshies.

Nice! I'm down in Lexington about every other weekend during college, I have tons of friends down at UK. My buddy Cory plays baseball there and I have two friends that play football for them. I'm down there a lot. And I'm at A LOT of reds games.
