Low cost mods?

Do not let this guy touch your car.

If he sands the headlights he is going to remove the factory UV coating and they will turn yellow and cloudy. Nothing aftermarket is as good as the factory stuff. Seriously get vinyl to tint them. It's easy to apply and their are tons of precut options even. Completely unnecessary to sand if he's just gonna spray with VHT nightshades anyway.

Wheels.... powdercoat them or use plastidip first.

If he wasn't wet sanding his paint.... ugh... I hate to think of what hes gonna do to your car. His sandpaper should have been dripping wet and other pieces sitting in a bucket of water if he was really sanding his clearcoat even. Unless it was recently painted he should seriously not even need to do that. Most paint defects in the surface clearcoat can be buffed out with an aggressive enough polish that is not even close to sandpaper. 1k grit is not even that fine either.

My bad he was wet sanding ! There was the bucket of water he had gloves on and the works really seemed like he knew wat he was talking about?


So no sand and vinyl wrap all lights and plastidip rims ?

Ok so while i was out checking my mail for my yellow fog tint i ran into a guy sanding his truck and sum how we got into talking about my car and he asked wat i was doing with it i said i want the rims done and headlights and taillightd smoked out and he said hell do all my rims and lights for $250 bucks ? Sound like a good deal? Also he said coil overs would be the best bet to lower my car with cause their adjustable so i can make it lower and still clear my apartment buildings god awful speed humps .. They legit are higher then shin

I'd stay far away from this guy... Nix is right do not sand the headlights, they have a UV coating you do NOT want to remove. Also tinting them is asking for trouble from cops, possible accidents and liability, decreased visibility , safety issues, etc.

Coilovers even though adjustable are still set it and forget it for pretty much everyone. Considering you don't have much money Eibach, H&R, etc would be a fraction of the price.

Again, stay away from that guy.

If you like them, slap them on!
Their very cheap and come off easily, so no harm done, you could always take them off later and not lose much

shouldnt be an issue. vtec is just a general term for any type of vtec system. doesnt matter if its sohc or dohc, an older version or the newer i-vtec

I've always felt that if you want a deep loud exhaust, you need 8 cylinders. Not even a 6 does it. That's why I only added a freeflowing air intake to augment the stock exhaust note on my '12 Si. Maybe there is a deep 4 cylinder sound out there, but I haven't heard it. For sure not on a streetable Honda. Not Magnaflow, not Skunk2, not even Borla. I take it back. My old BMW 2002 tii had an Ansa exhaust and it sounded great to me, but probably not as deep as I'm recalling. ymmv.

Te boxer motors from Subaru sounds pretty mean if you ask me, but god the are horribly unreliable when you put a fat turbo on them.

NA is where it's at!
 
They were "pre cut" but not exact fit" as long as no white shows threw at night idc
 
And i thought these were stickers ? No there legit decals ... Never used decals before and i have no idea how to take one off
