Nothings wrong with them. Maybe it's the photo that makes them look just a little odd!! I'm sure they look better in the flesh :)

Get you mitts on some clear repeaters. They look great on silver cars.
 
as said, think it looks poo hot! everything about it looks good...need a vid and pics of your colour changing tacho with shift light!

after a week of fitting his bucket seat, he drove through a big puddle (flood) the water damage had knackered up the engine and couldnt find out whats wrong with it...so he stripped it all out and was gonna put a cage init...but its not worth the hasstle so breaking and ridding of it, corbs is having the shell with rear axle and panels etc iirc. hes sold the sr20 manifold and gti front brakes, and bumper...
 
looking good, god i miss my old car:( at least my grass can start to grow now:)

You should really have two axle stands, instead of just one and a trolley jack :p



Did the parnhard rod give you much grief?

i only had one axel stand and it didnt take me that long to do. the panard rod is a right git to do on ur back.
 
here's a pic of ratchetk11's front, side exit exhaust. it's quite loud, but sounds awsome. and it'd still pass an emissions test as he's retained the standard manifold and front cat.
he got loads of positive comments all day at japshow, loads of people took photos, even a couple of official looking photographers.
