What did you get?

 

[protegeV]

Just oem replacements off ebay. The headlamps have a clear turn signal housing with just an orange reflector. I'll snapmsome pics tomorrow.

Washed my car and got one of my wheel studs replaced. I also picked up some red Muteki SR48 lugs.

Car looks good man. What happened to the stud?

 

[Verzerrung]

Thanks man! My brother tried putting one of his lugs on my car and stripped my stud. He said he was going to fix it, but I got tired of looking at 4 lugs.

Added the front OEM red Honda badge. The sides don't sit flush, so the adhesive on the top and bottom is pretty much what is keeping it on. I'm not sure how I feel about the red badge. Do you guys think it is a good look? Better than before?

those Alloy lug nuts have to be specially tightened by hand and I use anti seize because they will weld to the steel, you need to tighten them once in a while .

I think the Red emblem looks good.

I’m not a fan of the red emblems but i must say I like the look with ur lugs. It’s a nice touch.

Not quite today but I just got wheels/tires/suspension done on my car.
Drag DR-31 wheels, Firehawk Indy 500 tires, and Eibach pro lowering springs.

Btw I know this isn’t the place to post it but anyone know if an si rear valance/diffuser will fit on a non-si?

It potentially could be made to work, but the si bumper is different. It has the cutout for the exhaust on the si bumper as well.

Had a local auto shop mix up some paint to match my car after some inspiration from an older post here. Did this over the weekend and let each color set for 24 hours.

3 coats high heat engine paint
Dried overnight in the garage
4 coats sunburst orange spray paint (not high heat, mixed by a local shop to match my car)
Dried overnight in the garage
4 coats clear gloss
Dried overnight and until 5 the next day in the garage

Removed the tape after all the paint was dry and the result is below.

I love how it turned out, adds a nice touch to the engine bay.



Stock look.



Taped off the i-VTEC logo carefully.
Added 3 coats of high heat primer, I used chevy orange because I already had some.



4 coats of regular sunburst orange spray paint (mixed by a local auto paint shop)



I took the tape off and decided I would not need a coat of clear over the i-VTEC logo



Final product:

Very Nice I'm impressed. Not sure if I was going to be a fan (as I scrolled down) but it definitely looks good.

 

[AlmosN8kd]

Mine came factory matched....black.

On a serious note, it looks awesome; nice work.

I was asking the same thing when i first got on here with my ex. It does seem like you could swap just the small plastic piece, but i went to the honda dealership and they have to order the whole bumper. So might as well just swap a whole si rear bumper on there if you're wanting the exhaust cutout like i was thinking about.

Boosted my car again......for the 3rd time

 

[bootyluvr]

Why do you un-boost it?

 

[fahnix]

Same question as Booty. Also, is the top part of your firewall (behind the wiper cowl? or whatever area that is) chopped up? I'm guessing the only reason that part that's left is even there was because the VIN?

first time i had a supercharger, it was cool but i became board quickly. second time was when i did the prototype borg warner efr kit for full race.....i blew the motor cause of bad gas, and well here i am with a prl kit.
