Rep Power: 294 SPC front and back. I believe BeLowMe is also on SPC - though he bought a box labeled Eibach but really was SPC .. don't quote me on that though but pretty sure. BeLowMe bought his at High Performance.
I bought mine through TrueHonda. I can look up the pricing but Could also just ask TrueHonda the shipping quote - or call up Garbis in Laval and ask what he charges. I know it was more expensive that what I paid, but well I did shop around and took the chance with brokerage/duties.

As for the meet.. sorry it went so
It was nice meeting you civicowners.com as well as your friends. Hopefully we'll get things sorted out and do it up again/better. Just remind me not to play with eletrical day(s) before.

Guess I should have made sure not to play with my car and had it running prior. Oh well, learn from one's mistakes and move on.More than likely, barring bad weather, I'll hit up Lafleur's on Thursday. Steve said he'd go as well.. so if others want to invade/expand that, nothing is stopping you

Rep Power: 294 I cannot make it Jim I'll be out that afternoon/evening at my future brother-in-laws bachelor party. I do wish you the best weather though in any event, to enjoy the times.
So how'd everyone enjoy the rain we recieved and these cheap gas prices?
I know I hate the rain.. looks like I have to play around with my cheap ebay fogs as well I have a small pool in my driver side fog. Also, I'm having battery light issues off and on.. figuring that is my time to upgrade those components (more money ) Too bad I wasn't as lucky as Vis to get a nice gift certificate.
Here's to good weather and no more gas increases or car problems...

Okay so its a wee bit quiet in here..
In any event, seems like DnarahP feels like shooting to Montreal tomorrow (Labour Day Monday) afternoon.. we'd be meeting for lunch/cruise/photos - or something of the sort. If anyone feels like joining in, I say the more the merrier - just give my cell phone a ring. If you don't know it, well pm me before I leave

One of my son was sick today.... While he was resting, I removed my front bumber and installed some painted black home-depot mesh grills in the lower parts. Look really nice. (my f$%king camera is dead again.... sorry no pics yet!). Look cleaner than OEM, without being too flashy.
I also tried to remove my upper front grill and install a mesh grill like Jamie_Civic, but I guess that Sedan are a little bit different than Coupe (or I am really stupid
), because there was no easy (and nice) way to install a grill and cover every hole and plastic part behind it... I also tried to fix the mesh on the black plastic part behind the OEM grill (sedan grill are in two parts), and I did not like the result neither... so OEM look until I can find a low cost Altezza grill Like Karumba (but for 04-05). EDIT: Here is the difference: Coupe:
Sedan:
I guess it's easier whan you have the part #2 on the coupe to hide the holes!
Since now I am able to remove the front bumper in 2 min.
, I am strongly thinking to black out my headlight housing... maybe next project!

Rep Power: 294 Sounds like you had an interesting, productive day as you watched your son Redviking Though you should try taking off the bumper of a lowered car that fast 
Its a pain getting the clips off from underneath, as well as the screws, if you can't find the right tool
So, how's everyone doing these days?
Anyone feel like invading the CCQ meet on Tuesday?
Gawd, time is running out and I still haven't tackled all the small issues on my car. Eventually they'll get done I suppose

I painted the Headlight that I was trying to sell since my small accident. It went very well. Except that it needed a little more time in the oven than the DIY... I will reassemble the headlight tomorrow and see the result... should be

3) Seal my right headlight - now that the left one no longer fogs I feel a little more confident in my work so I'll tackle that
4) Perhaps seal my fogs lights - my left one was fogging up before
5) Get the working cosmo blue light out of the socket somehow - seems to be jammed
-- still have to decide what lighting scheme I want to go with.. still halogens (normal or "extra") or go hid (plug & play or retro)6) Figure out why I'm tripping my battery light every so often
7) Reset my SRS light
(though I've seen DIY, still just a little lost on that one )8) Get a/diy detailing job to protect for during the nice harsh winter months
9) Try and get the midpipe vibration solved once and for all
10) Try and fix my bumper clip to get my bumper sitting flush
Hmms .. I think thats it..

1) Door panel inserts are peeling off - either need to reglue, or change completely (as well I do have leather seats and they look off somewhat - same as the rear seats but on diy that job).
That's a recall I did it on my 01 Coupe, you could get the dealer to do it if your lazy.
