DL to the C got my vote. Although it was tough choice (like always) This should be another close one.

Had to go with DLC. Like the White with gold rims and all the mods. However, I like Rougeben83's intake better though, not being polished or anything.

I can't decide for the life of me. I have a soft spot for garnet red, but the work that's gone into these cars, especially those headlights, is amazing.

wow, those are all great looking 3rd gens...Do we know if Dave races or anything? To be honest, I like the look of DLC's, but Ben races his and that makes it uberalles.

So, I'm holding off til more info....hahah, helpful, I know.

Oh wow, thanks guys, I didn't even know I was nominated :lol:

I always appreciate the compliments! If I don't get it this month, I'll enter it again next month :grin: (I think I can use the "extensive modifications since last nomination" rule :wink: )

I'll vote for DLC's ride though, he keeps that thing clean...cleaner than my car at least hahahaha

I really like all of these cars because they represent very individual ways of changing a car to fit a personal style or goal.

I used to Solo 2 my 93, but I really, really don't trust the head gaskets on this car. If I ever get this engine sorted, though, I'm definitely doing some time at Miller Motorsports Park on track.

Bumping it up! Let's see some participation.

Oh, I got something special lined up for next month too.

Really tough vote this month. I like the Syms spoiler + P1's on DLC's BE, but Rougeben took my vote.

I love the custom headlights, and front bumper lip.

I do have to say that this month was a really hard one for me, after all I am a BE guy. You all have awesome cars and look forward to future mods, well, that is until you guys ditch the BE for something else. :cry:

This car isn't going anywhere unless something catastrophic happens to the body. Still liking it, though the paint and engine are enough to make me grind my teeth sometimes...

After what I just spent on the car these past few weeks, I'm kind of forced to keep it for another 5 years...or until I finish residency :cry: :twisted:

I was gonna say that toO!

I just realized that 3/4 BE owners here have a JDM steering wheel including myself haha

Mr. Sociable

Whats the appeal of a JDM steering wheel? According to cars101.com (or whatever its called...) our cars (or the 2003 at least) came with a momo designed steering wheel already.

dunno... I put a momo wheel in mine too :D

The JDM and the USDM wheels look different...or something.

Besides, I'd bet the ones shipped over on a boat are cheaper than any junkyard or used parts will sell them for, because airbags are worth $$$$$$.

Thanks DLC, congrats on the win :)

Oh yeah, I got my JDM wheel for $80 because the rim leather was not in prime shape...that's pretty much the only reason I got it. :grin:

DLC got the hard-earned win. I've been sick, buried in tax paperwork, and buried at work. Sorry for the Delay.
