It must feel nice having it paid off. I'm a big fan of the shift knob too. I saw a ton of these on sale at the San Jose Wekfest; they are really heavy.

What kind of man gives out someone else's cock? Don't be a b***h, present your own. :ghey:

Finally aimed the lights... in the pouring rain, so this is as close as it's gonna get. I think they look great though.. visibility MUCH improved over halogens.

Aaaaand these just came in (snapchat pic, deal with it)....

Coilovers on! Invidia exhaust on!

Yeah, plus the tires on the AP1 wheels are a little beefy. Just going from my winter tires to these I noticed it looked slightly 4x4ish.

Thanks, and I know! It's only up how it is because I was rocking no front plate until I was pulled over. The zip-tie method was enough to get the ticket dismissed, I just haven't touched it since. There's no front bracket since I picked up this car from PA which doesn't require front plates. I'll get it done right eventually.

I don't plan on doing much else to the motor, so the only mods I really want now are a front lip, possibly going wingless, and possibly yellow foglights -- I think they'd look great with the retrofit.

Speakng of retrofit, I need to fix the wiring. Accidentally wired the bi-xenon high beam shields to the low-beam power rather than high-beam. Soo the shields are always "up", thus raising the beam pattern. This is why the cut off in the picture earlier in the thread seems high and curved rather than flat. Whoops.

Nice! I've been very happy with mine the last year and a half. Do you want my OEM Aspec wing if you don't already have one? :lol:

ShinsenTuner · May 5, 2015

Shoot me a price broski! I have the factory "Type S" spoiler and I hate it. My car came with ASPEC everything but the wheels, suspension, and wing. :lol:

JohnS. · May 6, 2015

Very nice with the retrofit :thumbs up

. Front looks slightly higher than the rear? Or is that just me? My car has that reverse rake with my Eibach Sportline springs and I hate it.

Thanks! I actually have a question for you because my retrofit cut off line isn't nearly as good as yours... check my RL thread and you'll see a picture of the cut-off.. if you can let me know what you think? And not higher but the wheels are tucked in more since there's no spacers up front... which there should be. This is why I need them haha.

EDIT: Just kidding. Springs must have settled a bit. Just went out and measured... Rear left wheel is tucked, right wheel has a finger gap. Front left 2 fingers and front right also 2. I guess I'll adjust accordingly haha.

Been awhile with no update... not a whole lot though. New rotors all around, found out that when I had the tires mounted on the wheels, two were switched, and since they were staggered, a 205 was on a thin (front) wheel, and 225 on the wider ones for the rear. Switched those up, replaced a leaky exhaust gasket between the cat.

And did autocross today. Pretty sunburnt after being on asphalt all day, but had a blast. Here's a GoPro vid of my best time..

Up coming:

Took the rusty front plate bracket off 'ol Gerty before she went to the junkyard a couple weeks ago ( :puppyeyes

), sanded it down and gave it a few coats of plastidip - will be reusing for the RSX since there's no bracket and the front plate is being held up by zip ties.
Replacing interior and license plate lights with LEDS
Re-wiring the bixenox retrofit shields to the high beams
Front lip
Remove Aspec wing...

XpL0d3r · Jul 14, 2015

Goes in for paint in about a month. Also, leaning towards keeping the wing, just having it repainted as it's off an 05 RSX so it's Vivid Blue pearl instead of Arctic Blue pearl like my car. Soo depending on the angle you're looking at the car, you can notice the difference.

pmac193 · Jul 14, 2015

I think the front lip will give the car a more balanced look with the wing. btw what issues did you have with your Tein coilovers?
