How are the 6k HID's going for you? As soon as i get the car im getting them too

The HIDs are really great. The colour is just what i wanted the brighter look but not the "overdone" look. 6k is perfect.


Regarding the CAI from US. Is it a direct placement to oz specs cu2? coz the driver side is different so there might be also some difference in the machine components, as in different sides?

since we know that the grill is not removable (because u have to cut them off to install the mugen one) instead of cutting off the whole thing

they just cut off the middle piece with the badge and left the 2 on the top and bottom.
then they painted it like denot and then added a mesh grill behind it to stop debris. some of them even cut off and replaced the bottom grille as well next to the fog lights

pretty smart idea actually. also to get a cheap chrome sports grille like the modulo one (which is painted) u can cut all the pieces except the one holding the honda badge in the middle.
this is a cheaper and smarter solution because to install the modulo sports grille u have to cut off the 3 pieces anyway. why replace something that works just as fine. if u prefer chrome like myself, leave it and just cut the top and bottom. if u want painted like the sports grille, just paint it like denot did.

I just couldnt bare to cut my grille Probably i would just do as what denot has done to the grille, which looks awesome. Another way would be to do for the modulo sport grille look, you can just paint the top and bottom part of the grille black and leave the middle piece and honda logo chrome. But i couldnt imagine how it would look like. Someone with great photoshop skills and lots of spare time might wanna try and show us!

[QUOTE=furythree;2688351]hmm im sure we can get 10 people. but i dont like the aero bodykit.

nxn75u where are u located. we might be able to get a discount if we combined shipping.

oh man ive been looking at this all week. ur sounding like a little devil on my shoulder reading out the injen advertisement lol.
i think ill be sensible and listen to buddah and stick with air filter and not void my warranty. even tho i can simply replace the stock intake before servicing. because i plan on going short ram intake.

do the injen intakes come as seperate short ram and cai or just cai, but convertable.

Hey bro im located in kingsford. But i guess its gonna be hard to get 10 pple to buy tat kit though, too much hassle to get them together, get deposits in case some one bail out.

Nt sure abt the intakes though, i think it comes as a whole set only you ahve the choice of unscewing the pipe line to make it shorter i guess?

[furythree]

yeh i guess so. ive been messaging the guy. hes called paul. really nice
i was only after the rear lip kit because its the JDM style. I plan on getting the front and skirts as mugen replicas. He offered $250 + $50 postage. not bad i guess. Unpainted

where did u get ur hids again?
and how much were they.
when u replace the hids, did u change the cover as well because we have this cover over the bulb which makes it yellowish. i think its purpose is to focus the beam. do urs look whiter than stock?

Thanks man! You live in Kford eh? Might see my car a lot then

Anyway, I will try to "photochopped" my grille combined with the one before I paint and see how it goes if I remove the midle part from the painted one with the unpainted one.

Also, there's no different on engine bay for TSX and CU2 (in terms of installing CAI)

is it expensive to add a heatshield? what does it look like?

oh btw i told the ebay seller about this forum, he registered as a trader, but he has to wait a month before he can sell. would make communication easier

Oh fthe luxury models, we just need to change the bulbs as ours is already equipped with HIDs.. the bulb has no coating watsoever and tgh elight produced is white (6k for mine). The brands are Mtec, i got it straight from Top One Automotive. If you live nearby and wanna see the light feel free to PM me.. I think you might wanna get quote on how much to paint the rear lip kit. Coz whats stopping me from getting the add on kits is the pricey painting job and also the kit might not fir the car and etc.

Yea denot, you live in the apartment in kingsford yea.. Saw your car every night parked there when im going home. I recently moved to eastgarden areas.

how much were the bulbs? cause they go for 10 bucks on ebay

wheres topone located?


i was thinking of wrapping carbon fiber around the body kit lol. my car is already grey. im about to order 2 meters of the stuff for $50.

however its just for the rear lip, and i dont think it would look good all around. Im pondering this idea because ive seen alot of cars with the bottom lip as black/dark grey irregardless of the colour of the car.

example is the full rear modulo bumper, i believer the area near the exhaust is black. or toyota aurion sportivos have a black area near the exhaust area of the rear lip. so i think carbon fiber would look good.

for me im going to buy the kit one way or the other so i prepared myself to pay for spraying, just thought carbon fiber might be a cheaper option
