Looks great! Over the pond there, do you guys have the option of making the number plate flush in the bumper? Or would that be slightly illegal?

Google "Frenched license plate" on images... you'll see all sort of modded cars and trucks that have the license plates every direction but straight... as long as it's visible, I don't think any state cares how it's mounted.

I just picked up a 95 DX coupe and the first thing I did was get rid of the wide tires it came with, looks like you've got some big meats on your car are they detrimental to mpg?

I run 215/50/13 tires in the summer, Sumitomo HTR 200. And the winter tires are 155/80/13. I might pickup one mpg if I ran the skinnies in the summer but with the way I corner a d do autocross, I end up running the wider tires during the summer

I don't want to jack this thread, but yes that was the idea, except anyone could add any project-related thread to the registry (I think that only threads where the member actually did something will be eligible). There are a lot of valid project threads in the archive and the owners may not be active any more. And, yes, the idea was also to tie the registry to the 65+ mods list.
Watch for something this week.

I actually have that same lip on my summer bumper, lol.
I do agree though, my car looks more and more like a race car when I do stuff to it. It looks right at home on the autocross track.
