All wrinkle black would look interesting. What color choices do you have in mind for the valve cover, im cover and the spark plug/coil pack cover?

Idk, I haven't been able to think of something I'd enjoy yet. Originally I thought about lime green haha but that's way to bold for me.

Drove it, came home, put in the k&n drop in filter, battery died. Going to Honda tomorrow to ask for new battery. Battery should not die after 15 min of music play with ignition off. Tired of this ****.

You should get a free replacement or at least some partial warranty for one. My stock battery lasted me for over 6 years and got it replaced with a Costco battery just a few weeks ago.

one thing that bothered me when i sold hondas was that if a car sat on the lot for a long time without being driven and the battery went bad, american honda wouldn't warranty it until the car was registered. that means the car could potentially get sold to a customer with a bad battery. a lot of times, they'd crank and hold a decent charge, but you knew from a load test that they didn't have the proper CCAs to last as long as they should. whenever that would happen, we'd disclose it to the customer and let them know that once the car was registered, we could take care of the battery. i know not all dealerships are that forthcoming about such information, so i wonder if that's what happened in your case...

How old is that gasket?
Click to expand...

Well, I've had it on my car for just a little over a year. But I got the header used, so idk how old it really is. This is the original gasket that came with these headers, so I'd guess at least 3-4 years total.

When I bought the header I had ordered a Napa gasket that supposedly was good for the kidd. Well, Napa apparently changed their design, cause when I went to put it on it didn't fit. So I ended up just reusing the old gasket.
