Yeah $60 isnt too bad and I like how it comes with all the bolts. I did the allen head+washer trick for my entire bay. I got them from a local hardware store about $15 for everything necessary. Chrome washer with black allen head. They look really nice.
Awesome that you're not on the K bandwagon!

Can't wait. This is turning out to be one the best looking del Sols I've seen.
Matt asked me not to really say anything about it. I got something on "pre-sale". I'll post pictures when I get it, but won't make mention of what it actually is.
People 'in the know' should be able to figure it out by pictures alone.

Your definately giving me some idea's for my new Sol. Quick question tho. Your putting in that clean ass motor, and your gonna run a Fram oil filter?
Question about your mirror. How is it compared to the stock mirror? I know the stock mirror is tiny as f**k, but I dont know how I feel about the Wink mirror being broken up into sections like that. Is it really noticeable when looking up in it?
Lastly, where are you finding all these EDM/JDM parts at?

zero blind spots, i have one in my CRX. it looks like a smooth 1 mirror when your sitting in the driver seat.
I'm running the Fram ExtraGuard (orange) for my flush. Seafoam eats your oil and burns up your plugs, so that's what I bought the extra for.
The ToughGuard is on par (internally) with a Honda filter, or better. You have to remember, OEM Honda filters are no longer made by Toyo Roki. You'll either get a Canadian-made Honeywell filter (which is identical internally to a Fram ExtraGuard), or a US-made FilTech filter, which is straight GARBAGE.
Either way, the ToughGuard was free with the 5 quarts of EDGE, so I'm not bitching. When it comes down to it, if you're doing regular oil (or in the case of synthetic, filter) changes, it doesn't matter. I'm not going to run it long enough for it to clog or degrade.
