Hello from Sacramento!!

Hi guys, just a newcomer here to the VSC forums! I'm from Sacramento, CA with a pretty big ambition. My project car will be a 1994 Acura Vigor GS, knowing the limited aftermarket support i've decided to go the VIP since it is only proper and reasonable route. I myself am usually with the tuner JDM scene and also i've been familiar with the VIP scene over the years but everyone please do contribute to better educate me:thumbsup:

My car was purchased with no front end meaning no hood, bumper, no headlights, and smashed in fenders with bent radiator support. So basically, the project was actually a restoration project, but now that I've restored and realigned the entire front end it will be on it's way.

Hey sorry for the SUPER late replay, but yes i'm attracted the vigor due to it's uniqueness. I made the transition from an Acura Legend long ago, this vigor would mark my 5th vigor. Fell in love with the 5 cylinder, unique body lines, front and rear ends. But yes, also it is a pain in the ass with this car because of the terrible lack of aftermarket or any support in general even with OEM parts. Luckily for me, i am a very determined enthusiast and that i have a few local connects that can help me scurry JDM parts easily. I love to retrofit, it could be my last name, and the main reason why i should do it VIP with this car, it's the only reasonable route, cause it obviously isn't a fast car.

But back onto my project; here's what i've done over the time being to current;

USDM Acura grille chromed out btw; i go through TONS of Acura Legend lips :giggity:
