-I can see where you are coming from. But leeboyNY also has all authentic parts. Not replica.
I also don't see the need to rip the OP apart...

FYI- LeeboyNY, is korean with lots of $$$$$, who put his z together before heading back to korea...*shipping alone is big $$"
Not hard to build something wonderful when money and resources are plentiful..

true dat' on the money side of it but cheaping out and buying crap just to get it done is just wrong. if you are going to do it, do it right the first time.
A lesson well learned in the civic community...live and learn.
it just seems like a ton of money that could have been put into the suspension or the motor or some decent rims....nice exhaust bla bla bla....

The handles aren't so bad if you have the hypersilver wheels and chrome emblems. The more of those that you remove the more the handles stand out.

If you tried to match your handles to the wheels they would stand out even more than they do now. I don't like the color matched handles myself, but it might look the best based on your color scheme.

Yeah, i was going to match them to the flat black rims but i saw a pic and they stick out crazy ugly so i qwik stopped that one. Stock or color matched is my goal.

He may have money. I know LeeBoy is Korean, but not sure what that has anything to do with the thread or my point.

But he does use replicas, he mentions in one of his threads that it's a Shine front bumper and the spoiler is also a replica. I'm not even making the argument of replica vs. authentic cause I definately do not support knock-offs. However, I have seen plenty of examples of people using replicas that have great fitment.

Trust me, I'm not ripping the OP. I simply stated that the fit and execution is poor. It's not like I said his car looks like a POS.

You obviously didn't see this post! But thanks.

After posting I remembered that his FB was shine.. My bad.

My point was that the OP is in the DR... not the richest country in the world. I was shocked to know that there was a z on the island.. let alone one that was modded (to the OP's taste).. My bad again, I should have been clear.

to me cars like the OP are like those little wannabe teens TRYING so hard to be cool. Buying all the cool clothes they see on famous people and what have you. It's like a taking a nice shirt that's fine and bedazzling' the thing to hell and back.
if he likes it, fine he should he spent a ton of money on it. Just expect someone not to like it, theres always one or a hundred.
To ME the hood and all the parts could fit just perfect and i would still have the same comments to make. Although after all the hate on here i doubt i would have said much!
I'm curious as to how much money he has spent on the kit,roof,wheels,paint.....
is there anything under the hood or is it just stock. i'm more into the motor and driveability than flashy looks. the flashier it is to you just makes someone else want to steal it more!

600.00 a month, wow that hurts. SO how much have you spent on your car? for the roof,hood,kit,paint you should have been able to buy any rims you wanted i would think. if you don't mind me asking if you don't make that much money why would you spend it ALL on a car? It's just a car right?
there is a girl in my club selling a set of hood struts 03 orange for a carbon fiber hood for 200.00 if you are interested and you won't need the factory brace anymore to hold up your hood.

so with buying the car, paint, kit, hood, roof, supercharger and a system for 9 thousand us dollars? i live in the wrong hood, christ.

i'd like to see the engine bay, if you put that much effort in the outside the bay must be pretty clean right?
