Allright! I got my 2013 Black Si Sedan back in July, and the ball is slowly starting to turn on some mods.

My goal with the car is to do a mild/functional JDM build (Yes I am a fan boy) In the end though this car is my daily driver.


*already removed front dealer tag*






Current Mods:
Takeda Intake
Invidia N1 Cat Bat Exhaust
Red Painted Calipers
Spoon Reservoir Covers.
Intake Resonator Delete.
Neo Chrome Tow Hook
Blackworks Racing Neo Chrome Shiftknob
Red "H" Badges

Future Mods:
HFP Suspension
Rear Sway Bar
Bronze Wheels of some sort ( Next year )
Header


There will be smaller things done in between these bigger mods.

At this point I am tempted to plasti dip my stock wheels bronze, but nervous of it. Wife says its cheap, and I cant really disagree.. but its so simple, and the end result can look real good.

Nevertheless, I will probably keep this first post updated with pics Vs. scattering them through out the thread.

Thanks!

What do yall think about plasti-dipping my wheels? I really want to stay away from doing it if its very easy to chip and requires special care to wash, and from what I have read everything I just said is true.
 
Purchased the silencer for Invidia N1 the day after I installed the exhaust. I love the tone of it without silencer, but for daily driving it was drawing more attention than I wanted. The silencer gives the exhaust a nice tone that I feel is not annoying to normal motorist.

 
My uncle has had his audis wheels plasti dipped for a while now. He only used one can for all 4 and it still looks good. No chips. Doesnt do anything special to take care of it. I'd say go for it. If you don't like it peel it off. I peeled mine off and while doing so realized the stuff is really strong and sticks really well.

Go for it. Best thing about Plastidip is that it's never permanent. You can experiment with different colors too. Give it a try then peel it off if you don't like it
 
It seems most people I see plasti dipping their wheels eventually end up buying aftermarket ones...
I personally don't really like the OEM wheel plasti dipped look.
If u dont care much for the factory ones, change em' out. Just my opinion...

I decided to just wait, and get aftermarket wheels.

You can wash plasti dipped wheels with a soft sponge and soap.
 
Made some purchases today.

Neo Chrome rear tow hook : I figure it will kinda work in conjunction with the Ti Tip Invidia N1

Red Honda Badges back and front

Blackworks Neo Chrome Type Style shift knob - Heavy one.

Will have pics as I install the items.
