I love those cars. I am not overly concerned with whether they are 22B or not. If they have the parts, even if they were built L's. I'd still call them rSTI. Fact is they're done right. As long as you're not putting skyline headlights and tailights on a prelude or something, it's all gravy.

Love their paint jobs.

I think the blue one used the same harness guy I did for the harness when he swapped it.

I love the look of rear spats. Really clean cars.

but still mad props for those two guys to put themselves out there to the internets scrutiny. On jalopnik/drive so far the comments have been positive.

haha yeah theres always alot of hate online, and love. cant get around that! but yeah, once i finish school im planning on doing full sti drive train swap and wide body. but for now, my car is pretty low because i dont really drive it hard everyday. just drive to school and work mainly.

might have been someone else you were thinking of because irvin complete stripped his car and did the whole swap himself.
