This is just personal opinion, your milage of course, may vary.<p>By the way, the rims are held on with one large bolt off the spindle, this is common in racecars (saves a lot of time changing tires).<p>The second antenna is not for a CB, the wavelength of the antenna would never match well to a CB, it's likely for looks, and I like it a LOT :) I think I'll do the dual retracts on mine.<p>
Ok, my opinion....<p>1. The meticulousness of the paint is phenomenal. The craftsmanship is pristine. However that is simply the ugliest car I have ever seen. To spend that much money, and it's gotta be CUBIC money, to paint a car baby sh|t green is just insane, but I'll bet the owner thinks it's beautiful. To each his own.<p>2. I LOVE the hood opening setup, how can I do that to mine? I'd really like to have that on my MX3.<p>The inside...wow....very cool, and even more disgusting than the outside. I didn't know that metallic gastric lavage could be a piant color.

I love it. Basically agree with the majoraties opinions on the wheels. That must have taken a VERY long time to paint. Detail like that takes time, money, and SKILL!!!

I agree with the everyone else about the car....looks nice....rims are ugly. As far as the suspension, it is using air bags.....if you look at the airtank in the hatch, it says "Bagged By Raw....Airbrush By Blade". For those who dont know...."bagged" means airbags, not hydros.

I realize that the tank says "bagged", but if you look at the pics at the bottom of the page, it looks like hydro's in there. Maybe he changed to bags...
here's a accord with hyrdos.Image
and here's his trunk.

those are definately hydraulics, it has accumulators in it so that prooves that.. its prolly his old setup and he must have installed airbags since then.
as for the wheels, they are knockoffs held in place by the spinner/nut. and tightened with a lead hammer.
the car itself has very nice craftsmanship. the overall outcome is an amazing mx3 euro lowrider..
