i got my honda si last oct. 3, 2011... been using it almost everyday since then. im now starting my project of converting it to a very nice ride.
i have it in black with navi system and body kit installed. i recently added a tow hook and license plate holder.
done some tint including the tail lights...

next upgrade:
-JDM honda emblem front and back
-HID headlights and yellow fogs
-lowering springs (want it lowered)
-a nice set of rims (but ill just paint it to save some $$$) http://www.***************/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.png
-mugen spoiler wing?!?! if it fits
-mugen visor

-engine and performance upgrade as my last upgrade for my car...

*** suggestions and ideas are open>>> http://www.***************/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.png

Very nice, lookin good.

I sound like a broken record but.... resonator delete? Free mod that acts like buying an air intake. More power better sound & throttle response.

Thank you so much Wanga :) Now I know what I will be doing for my next Project :) Btw how long do you have to wait for the paint to dry out completely?
 
it will say on the can,... but I know some dry to the touch in around 30 min.

What is this resonator delete? I've heard about it but not quite sure what it entails?

i think it dupli-color.. and yeah, u can buy it from those stores. i got mine from strauss, it comes as a package, with caliper cleaner and u have the option of spray or the liquid paint.. we chose the liquid paint so we can only paint parts we want with lesser time..

we put 3 coats. took us 10-15 mins. each coat..
 
last june 29, 2012, me and my buddy started a project of painting my stock rims. i asked around for professional painting, some estimate cost $600 for powder coating and $400 for painting. since i don't wanna spend too much, we decided to paint it ourselves....

here's the result of our work!

p.s. not a professional painter, lol!!

Looks pretty good! Did you have to remove the tires to paint? And how did you get that red line on the lip? And what paint did you use? Thanks!
 
nope... i used flash cards to cover the tires.. i used dupli-color spray paint that i got from autobarn

i'm planning to do a DIY on painting rims with lip soon...

thanks!!
