Looks real good man.

Header wrapping makes a huge difference also! All you need is some fender washer bolts to bling the rest up (I can get you a set of 20pcs)

I like the HONDA part on the rocker did u just cover it up or spray it white?

[TbM]

Yeh i got the headers wrapped in black heat wrap and painted black When i do a swap or do up this engine(still undecided) ill be cleanning up the bay so ill hit you up for some parts then

The honda is actually just bare metal its just got alot of light shining off it in that pic, see this one its more silver

I just sanded it off after i painted it, heres a link to a pic of the paper and block i used, gave it sort of a brushed aluminium look and is nice n shiny in the right light

Look good! Yeah man I will have to try my best to get it looking professional. I'm
Not all that keen on the painting around the dohc vtec on rocker so I'm gonna have to sand it off after painting it lol

[TbM]

Yeh man just sand it down a bit first to get it flat with a solid block(so it doesnt round the edges of the letters), then paint it and sand the paint off with a solid block when its dry. Easy as If you wanted a different colour on the DOHC VTEC thats a bit more work lol

Lol nah want oem colour on it so silver base. I will give it a go! Thanks for the tips once again dude lol are you a mod yet :P so many helpful posts

[TbM]

Lol i havent done that before but ill pm you how id do it if you like, if your just going silver whats wrong with just sanding it back to metal as thats silver coloured? saves you the effort of painting it twice If your doing 2 layers and most of your engine will be black id think about black vavle cover with red DOHC VTEC that would be a good combo IMO but each to their own Lol narr im not a mod yet, only been here a few months so bit new for that id say lol.

Intalled STD coilovers, whiteline 27mm front swaybar, ASR 24mm swaybar/brace kit.

Very happy, except rear muff bangs on the brace. Good excuse for new rear mufflage.

is the car more prone to understeer or over steer now??? Iv found even with a thicker sway bar, its not always the way to go with coilovers, than again, you gotta sort out the spring rates vs swaybar thickness
