Welcome! nice list so far. how are you liking the injen axleback?

It drones... nowhere near as bad as a straight-piped Integra, but its noticeable, but the note sure is nice.

On 8/16/14 I installed:

- PIAA yellow fogs
- Injen axle back
- DC Sports SRI

* Continental DWS are waiting in the garage, one of my OEM wheels is cracked, so i was "forced" into buying rims... XXR 531, 17x9 +35 are on the way.

Pics so far and video of exhaust:

Oh here is a polite of the cracked wheel.

Tires have about 50% left, no TPMS will be included... A friend offered me $250 for all four... Good deal?

Also, what's a good selling price for OEM axleback and the OEM intake?
 
Yessir, I'm not a fan of dark tints ... At all, and cops are very anal about here in IL, so I'm going to go with 40% all around. And get 80% 3m on the windshield, they got a film that dramatically decreases glare and blocks heat and UV rays, I had it in my older car.
 
Thanks for replying that one for me webby, hah, but in my own words, the ride is stiffer, and I definitely feel more grip on corners, but when the road gets bumpy you definitely feel it in the car, specially when you go from a high road to a lower surface level, in the rebound I have hit my head in the rooftop lmao
 
July 25 2015

So the PIAAs hyper yellow only lasted like 9 months, i got HID headlights and fogs from DDM tuning.
