and sorry.... My phone camera is horrible....
a 3rd addition to my interchangeable exhaust.. lol
This pic is horrible due to the fact that i zoomed in.. but even tho my car is only lowered an inch... that 3" exhaust scapes almost no matter what angle i go. Then again my town isnt very low car friendly.....

I totally agree.... i bought them because they were the cheapest i could find honestly and the LEDs are brighter than a reg bulb.. duh lol, so i had planned on smoking them like the old ones, but everyone where i live wants too much to do 2 coats of black and clear car paint mixed. I had a buddy that would do it for me but he got in trouble and got sent to texas. I live in NC lol. So much for trying to help a kid a few years younger than me to stop smoking weed.... He smoked my old lights for 20 buck lol, but they were 3 coats of black paint and 2 coats of clear.. way too dark.

Tell me about it lol, but im thinking about selling it, guy i know has a 97 hatch with si front end and a b18 swap thats already lowered and all, just need to add my touch to it and id have like $2500 left over after i sold my car and bought his... so ima see what happens. If i end up keeping my car ima break down and probably buy some d2 coils when the suspension needs replacing

Lol d17a2.... horrible engine, but its got an ebay cold air intake with a 3" AEM filter attached to it... didnt see the point of spending loads of money on a reg AEM intake when i already had the extra filter here. AND.. A stainless header stainless and catless downpipe, and a 3" catback with a resonator that i can interchange between the canister, piece of straight pipe with a tip, or a bullet muffler. Car sounds good....... Thats all its good for is looks and sound lol, speed is out of the picture.

Honestly.. it didnt change a thing other than the sound. and if i had a camera that did good videos id upload em, but the straight pipe was compared to a gsxr1000 without a muffler... lol and the outher two just sound good, the bullet just has a diamond shaped piece of metal in it and the canister is well ya know resonated so they sound similar up until high revs.
here is a pic of the motor, i had just put the cold air on... then dad tells me we have an aem filter cause i was gonna buy one, didnt know i had it here so i had to take that back apart... BTW please ignore the dirtiness lol.
And here is the catback.. that stainless gets horribly dirty under the car lol

Re: Looks like the car is done for now...
Not too bad looking, there are a few things I would change but to each their own. How do you like that intake. I'm thinking about adding one to my list of parts so it will clean the engine bay up a little bid.

Preciate it lol, ive been running that one ever since i had it done, thinking about putting the canister back on.. for some reason i like the look of it better, guess its just that JDM look lol, and about the intake, it didnt do anything for the car.. d17... but i can hear it suck in air, especially when i get into it which sounds good. Its cheaper to go with the $45 ebay cold air intake and buy a AEM or k&n air filter than it is to order either brand name kit and it works the same, considering the motor we have.

i've heard of people using the spray on tint with good results. clean em' up good, spray and let dry, and if you want darker add another coat. if i decide to tint my lights or another cars one day, i think i'll try this rather than the tint film. almost impossible to get ALL the bubbles out.. or you could just buy the paint and mix them i guess. just an idea for less than $20

Yeah, it looks good and i can hear it pulling in air and thats about it lol, but all that is worth the money, compared to spending $150 or more on a brand name kit that will do nothin for the car, Im thinking about selling mine but idk lol

Well my car has been on craigslist for 2 days now..... And I think im deciding not to sell because I cant afford to slam my car. So my friend is buying new coils for his car and Im getting, FOR FREE, his shocks and 2.25" lowering springs..... so my car will pretty much be slammed....
Yes, No, or continue to sell my car for $7000?

Now that ive decided to slam my car, looks like ive decided to cam it as well, so around christmas time i will be ordering me a Crower stage 1 cam, ingalls camber plates and rsx tie rod ends will most likely be ordered within the next month, should have "new" struts and shocks by next week or so, so my car will be AMAZING by the first of the year hopefully.
BTW if anybody lives in North Carolina and sees this, ive got some stck parts off my car that i am selling

I know I can't wait lol, did I ever mention to you that 2 weeks after i had my front end fixed and painted i hit a ground hog... so the paint is cracked all the way across my front lip and paint is just a chippin off.... oh and my front bumper has hella paint chips i swear to god this dude put ZERO hardener in the paint. Im about to go up there and be like repaint this sh** and do it righ this time lol.
So Im thinking about just taking the lip off and painting it black and clear coating it with duplicolor...
I swear trying to have a nice car is freaking impossible, no matter what something happens... If I can ever afford it ima have the whole car freshly painted that factory fiji blue pearl and have the whole thing done in that clear bra lol.
Oh and I use majestic honda if I need to find anything OEM at a good price so I COULD NOT find a 21mm sway bar and bushings for nothing, so i figured id just get crafty and search up "majestic acura" on google and acuraautomotiveparts.org came up... practically the same thing so Im getting the sway bar and both bushings for $109 shipped... not bad for brand new oem parts if you ask me.

Wow, what rotten luck
I've learned to just get used to my paint's imperfections, even though it bugs the hell outta me. I have little scratches everywhere, very obvious touch-up spots, and about 6 door dings of varying magnitude.
Be glad you don't own a damaged Mercedes or Ferrari or seomthing, lol
