So after about a year of contemplating on doing this, I finally got off my *** and did them. Woke up at 8am saturday morning (couldnt sleep) and went to Canadian Tire and picked up the stuff I needed...

this is on a 2001 Eternal Pearl Blue Si (ex in the states)

here's a couple before pics - note, the bumper is all messed because I hit some black ice back in december and went up a 3 foot hill of ice and cement curb. saw more damage when I took the bumper off, and it explains why the a/c hasn't been working this summer (which really sucks for 30-35*C weather for the last 2 months).

drivers side messed bumper...


passengers side...


the a/c unit located in front of the rad... yeah, its kinda fubared (I may not mess up too often, but when it happens, I do it good! LOL) - yes I will be doing a permanent fix, but I have a couple things I have to pay off first.


and the after pics...








... and I worked a bit of magic on the bumper






All in all I am VERY happy with the results!! Very easy DIY for the lights, took longer because of the extreme heat, lack of tools (house got robbed a couple weeks ago, with that, most of my dad's snap-on tools were stolen ) and fixing the bumper also

How long did it take you?

yup oh well, we'll be getting them replaced from the insurance company within the next couple weeks. I cant wait, having no (or close to no) tools in the house its a pain.

They're actually Goodyear Assurance Triple Treads - they're alright, I dont drive them in winter though (even though they're rated good for winter) because a) I have really good winter tires that came with the car when I bought it, b) They're super effin slippery in the snow/slush that we get here (thats how I went over ice/curb and messed up my bumper). They're pretty good in the rain and dry though, very grippy, and rated for 130,000kms

I started working on the car at about 1030, and was cleaning up the garage by 8pm. It took longer than I thought it would, but thats because we fixed the bumper - which took a while for the stuff to dry/settle, etc. and we had issues putting the passenger side of the bumper back on (long story). Plus we took a few breaks from the heat, and went to Honda to pick up some clips, and went to the GM/Pontiac/Caddilac Dealership right next to Honda, and looked and talked cars for a bit (like 45minutes to an hour actually, LOL)... we also decided which vehicle my dad will be getting in the near future I love car shopping! - more than the average chick likes regular shopping! hehe
