Here you a see a a little bit of everything the exterior of the car, the engine bay, my custom DIY cold air induction mod, DIY blackout tape on exterior chrome moldings and blackout door handles, DIY Cusco oil catch can setup with custom inline filter to filter out the vapors from the PCV, those with the Cusco STB hitting upper Ac line the pic below show how I phile an inch of the Cusco bracket to clear the AC line and I also phile some off the Ingalls chasis ETD bracket to clear the lower AC line this only to apply to those that have the Cusco STB and lastly pics of the 06 JDM headlights lighting up. Sorry for the long post, I'm sure some of my mods would interest some of you so please enjoy guys.

Yeh same!!

I was just having a look on ebay about carbon fibre vinyl but im not sure if that would work. Eurodude used it for his chrome grille so maybe it could work with the chrome around the windows as well.

How about painting the chrome? any good? anyone done that?

Painting would look good and permanent that is if you took out the chrome trim completely. I thought about it before I use the blackout tape, so I decided to do the tape instead alot cheaper and if you mess up you can always reapply it. The tape also has a very nice texture and it matches the door pillar perfectly.

Welcome man, nice car you have there:thumbsup:
I recognise you now, the guy who has two oil catch cans. :p
I like your air induction mod:wave:

[snYpz]

i was looking for black out tape for the chrome window trim and found this
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/650229/7

Wonder how durable the tape is on the car because i have a feeling it wont last very long especially with car washes.

I also read somewhere that the chrome window trims if removed, the clips break and wont fit again. Is this true?

[Suntzu]

Damit I want this tapage!

can anyone tell/show me where the second catch can is routed? i know you normally go from the PCV and back into the intake manifold... but it looks like the front one (the little one hanging behind the radiator) comes from the right side of the enigne and then into the intake? where does the second one go?

It goes to the Cusco oil catch can, basically the filter is an inline filter it filter some the blow by
from the PCV than it goes to the Cusco than to top of the intake manifold. Reason i have the filter beside the Cusco is because the Cusco doesn't have any filter it is just an empty and it is not baffle so that is why I have the filter sitting there.

That is funny how you guys there likes the orange reflectors on our TSX and us here wants the looks of the JDM clear reflectors but they cost so much. As far as our headlights fitting with yours yes it would fit without a doubt. If you want to trade hit me up. I got a set off of my car in excellent condition.

How loud is this beast with that Ram Pod??

No not obnoxiusly loud at all only when you hit vtec that ring rours like an animal but in a good way, but I definitely felt that instance throttle response especially in cooler day with this mod. With this mod I still would not lost the low end torque like most cold air intake and with the benefit of the dense air coming front the front bumper.
