and i big amount of it was from insurance money and no thanks dude i already own my own company lol

nice.

Care to hook me up with a deal on some CTR headlights?

pmed ya

hey basbal, do you have a website??

its in the process of being made but it wont have any actual parts on it it a call on order basis

we speacialize on imported and premium parts that are only special order we also do custom carbon and kevlar products so we dont have a huge "inventory"

Always thought it would be sick to have a business like that. Ill get back with you about those headlights. Mine have broken tabs.

no problem take your time..ya same here until i got the balls to get up and actually do it lol

harnesses came in today =]

I was gonna post same thing lol

This is sick dude. Btw got any carbon or kevlar goodies for an ef9?

Purple isnt done enough, but Ive seen it look sick. I think your going to pull it off nicely.

I feel that the purple is going to look good, as long as its just some accents and not too much

Look at what is purple... it will be accent it's just my under carriage and lugs and fender washers under the hood so or will be an accent color and with the graphite paint job it will stand out nicely ;)

And yes I do what you need

Very nice list.

thank you sir

You should try painting your interior purple ;)

not all of it though, just like your heater vents, cluster, and bezal

Please god don't.

why not man i think that wold look good actually thinking about it ;]

meh, not digging paintin the interior purple.

come on guys you should know me by now of course im not going to do that haha it doesnt matter anyways just more money =p haha

Haha, I wasn't sure if people knew I was kidding.

Your painting the whole car? If so, this changes every idea I had about the purple...

you don't look like i would have guessed. I had you pictured as a little bit older white guy. guess i can't really think of a reason why, just for some reason i did. not sayin i think any different of you

Lol Cant wait to see the new color dam it

you don't look like i would have guessed. I had you pictured as a little bit older white guy. guess i can't really think of a reason why, just for some reason i did. not sayin i think any different of you

haha im only 18 just graduated high school...and what about the purple?

oo im not painting the car purple if you think thats going to happen lol

haha im only 18 just graduated high school...and what about the purple?

i guess its probably that its not very common to see high schoolers with the money to do the stuff to cars that you have done (i.e. B18 swaps). most people that have done a swap are at least out of high school and working full time

yeah where do you get all this money?

read my siggg!!! i own my own company soo i get parts at cost at what not

I didnt think you would be painting the car purple, I was just trying to think of another color that will go with purple. And just curious, how does someone who is 18 go about owning a company?

passion, drive and a goal...zero help from mom and dad too =]

fidanza fly wheel and arp flywheel bolts came in today...and well as my new steering item =]

i haven't got any help from my parents with cars ever. (except for insurance)

but i like the picture updates :)

ya like my parents brought me up teaching me if i want something i need to go earn it..so i wanted to get all these parts so i wanted them cheaper =] and just ended up making money off it in the process

So you just became a dealer that easy?

its all in making a few larger purchases ;) like from password..... he gets a better price on larger orders. the rest is just some paper work with the state. hell my dad and brother and me had a business, "brummett and sons corvette sales and service" we even had business cards ;) brother just flaked out completely and my dads to old now to really do any work. and only so much i can do or want to do myself. so that is no longer a business. more or less just a hobby.

good luck with the business and build ;)

did you buy the donor car or just the motor? j/w i have thought about doing a motor swap but only if i get dam lucky at my local pullapart, because of the price id pay for it.

Im just interested, Ive always wanted to do something like a performance parts business. Just dont know how to start.

well you have to get licenses from your state, a tax id number, then apply for business credit, etc.. fill out dealer applications. you just need to do your home work and have a little time its not hard just no one gets the balls to do it

i bought a whole car so that i can get the swap and the brakes off it put my civic brakes and motor in it and sell it as a "driveable" chasis

how much you pay for the car?

your not going to believe me but its a WHOLE 95 teggy gsr that i drove to my house...like its a perfect car...for 400..from one of my friends...it had a bent axle thats it

dam. wish i could find a sweet deal like that!

Dude, congrats on the business. Hope that pans out for you. Also, I think we all know purple interior can work. Just replace all the carpeting with shag, and maybe a 24k gold shifter knob, and you're set.

$400! Damn. Thats an amazing deal. Im pretty content with my LS swap and plan to boost it, but if I ever happen to see a GSR pop up in my local pull a part, it will be mine!

Looking good, and please keep the side molding.

Side molding gives the car good contrast. And nice color choice. Who is painting it, you or a shop?

SHAVE THE TRIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

ew no keep the trim. although i do prefer the thin JDM moldings over the stock usdm ones

^^ well thats what i have =] and my friend is painting it for me

what do you guys think paint the side molding and door handles same color as car or leave it black

same color as the car. shouldn't be any question in my opinion. I painted mine to match on the old hatch and it just makes the car look a google better.

dito... paint to match!
only time they shouldnt be painted is if you have that front bumper with the black molding. then black trim would match. otherwise i say paint em ;)

Paint the trim....SOOOOO much cleaner looking.

thats what i was thinking

jeez, wish i had my own company...:D

Any updates? Hows the paint going?
