1995 Honda Civic Pro (Shuttle) Build - Round 2

Hello again.
So I'm back with another Civic Pro. Swapped it for my Integra after my Starlet was written off (R.I.P).
The PLAN for now:
Slam
Wheels
Drive
Future plans:
- Small victory pipes made
- Some wide and low offset wheels
- Roof Racks + roof basket
- Everything that is black, resprayed black
- Everything that is white, resprayed white
- Coilovers
A couple of pics:

And got myself a boss kit and popped the Momo on there, also ordered a Momo Horn Button to top it off:

And also got some 4" Extended Top Hats for the back:

Looks like a solid start. Cheers from the States.
I like the whole car man, there's something about Panda wagons.
Anyways, things have progressed nicely. I will let the pics explain.
This pic was before installing everything:
About an inch of gap to close. After installing these:
It went down to this:
No room what so ever under there. Unfortunately it was too low and I bent my guards a bit taking it for a test drive.
So I had to take it all back out again and put the regular lowering gear back in.
I decided to keep the hood spacers in as I like the look, and my hood is stuffed anyways so may aswell:
Closing front and rear pic before I reverted it back to original lowering gear:
Man I wish I could keep it like that.
And painted em (sort of):
Should get more tires next week and roll these bad boys from now on.
That stance is perfect. Why can't you keep it at that height?
1: I order to get it the way I wanted it to look at get it legal, I would require a Certification
2: I believe the transmission is on its way out, so when this happens I will be taking it off the road and looking into engine swap options
3: And all together there is no point in getting a Cert for it now if I'm going to be replacing the engine later, which requires another Cert.
So I've decided to go for a 90's Jap look instead. I picked myself up 2 pairs of genuine Mugen MR-5 2-piece wheels. Very light weight compared to any other wheel I have owned.
Initially I was looking for some Mugen CF-48's but couldn't get my hands on any without paying moonbeams.
Any ways here are some pics:
To start I was going to take the faces off making it easier to paint:
One of the pairs had already been re-painted, so I was glad I only had to split the other pair.
The wheel pictured below I was unable to split as the last bolt left wasn't coming out, however I masked it up and hit it with some primer:
Did the same with the one I was able to split and hit it with my first coat of Charcoal Grey:
And the same with the un-splitable one:
After realizing that this wasn't the color I wanted, I set off to get some more paint. Picked up a nice can of Rustoleum Titanium Silver and hit them with that:
Now unfortunately I going to have to re-paint them again as that Silver has a Metalic flake through it. However I have picked out another Rustoleum Silver which should work perfectly.
Until next time...
Curious to see where this goes man, I'm taking my Mugens apart coming winter too for some new paint
