Its looks awesome in that pic. I love the way the fog lights work with the headlights. Thats funny you switched your headlights three times, same as me.

I like the wheels the way you bought them, I don't like that you painted them Black. I didn't know it was an Si, I would have 4 SHo bought that off of you. How much did you sell it for?

$3200 with $8k worth of parts

I went from stock headlights to 1 piece TYC HID retro Xenon headlights (Valeo projectors), back to stock, then TYC OEM replacement HID retro Be-Xenon headlights (e55 projectors)

Need the sideskirts painted to match now after the lips.

Need a type r grille and a good inch and a half drop and it's set.

Looks like there is a bulge in there because there is. Still got my spare, just had to move it to the right of the amp.

I like the setup, my audio friends are trying for me to take out my spare and sign up for AAA. Then put the sub where you amp is. I don't want to do it, but you setup might change my mind.

I'll be the 1st to admit it was half assed. It looks ok in person. There isn't much depth to play with there, and I wanted to put the sub where it is so it would be kinda protected by the strut bar if I were to put anything bi in my trunk. So I had to raise the whole floor about 4" which turns out to be prertty close to the width of the spare. I cut a big arc oout of the floor where I wanted the spare, and it fits pretty snug, don't need to bolt it down or anything. And there are 2 computer fans to keep the amp cool under there, never had a problem with it shutting off, but I haven't seen a 100 degree summer day here yet either. Took me about 6 hours of cutting, measuring, drilling, and gluing. I just don't want to ever have to do it again. It was seriously a bitch to wire it the way the amp rack sits.

I'm going to clay bar mine pretty soon too. These pics are from today, i buffed and waxed it about a month ago, and used some quick detailer on it today. My paint looks ok, but yours looked great. How long did it take you to clay bar it? Did you buff and wax too?

clay bar with a friend, maybe about 30-45 minutes. it's amazing stuff. my car had a bunch of overspray on it too which made it so dull. the bar gets it looking fresh again. i didn't even bother washing it before hand (which it says you should). after i clay bared it i waxed it. came out looking amazing.

this is the stuff to get

No, I have not claybared mine yet, I have been washing it more and more often. I have waxed it a couple of times this year. It's been doing well, I can't say good, because the engine feels like it's about to explode, but other than that its alright. I just got my sound system completely redun. Then my battery died, and now I have to get my car jumped ever time I want to drive it.

I think I'm going to order a GSR. I wanted a K20, but I figured it all out and it's going to cost so much and it will take so much time. I just don't have the time or the space to set up shop and work for a week on it. I wish I could. One of my friends has a Integra GSR and he turboed his from junkyard parts and with a little bit of tuning Uberdata, he's making 320 to the wheels, not bad. So I think thats the direction I'm headed. The GSR will go in around July or before that maybe. I just ordered a new brake kit, which will be getting 11" rotors upfront with 4 piston cal. The rears are being changed over to discs to a 10.2" rotor and a 2 piston cal. It's coming from Wilwood. My master cylinder is being upgraded to a 1990 Civic EX master cylinder. Oh, and stainless steel brake lines are being added. The brakes should be here the 24th.
