I imagine it'd be very different since the wheel base on the GK changed from the GE. The GK also got shorter.

The motor sounds a bit coarse from the inside of the car but pretty fun to drive. Wish there isn't a by law, here in Vancouver Canada, against front windows being tinted.

Finally we have some nice weather after a couple of weeks of rain, so I painted the logos on my tires and mounted and wired a cheap dash cam. I'm coming up on a year with this car and I'm still having fun:

Did the white letters on your tires come that way? Or did you paint them.

What paint did you use? Acrylic? Looks nice.

I picked up a paint pen at the local auto parts store for a few bucks. It doesn't stay on all that great.

Wheels are 16 X 7 42 et w/ 5mm spacers in back only; 205/50/16 Bridgestone RE760. -1.7 camber front, -1.6 camber rear.

I swapped the four clips unique to the EX+ trim over to the new trim, and had it all back together in less than 15 minutes.

Where did you buy the rear garnish black out kit?

It's the OEM trim piece for the LX. I also have the LX front grill (no chrome strip), but have yet to pull the front end apart to install it.

I don't remember exactly where I ordered it, here's one source (link).

If you have to remove the bumper, think twice about that. I removed it to install louder horns, and it wasn't worth the trouble. The upper attaching points on each side are held in place with one screw and snap tabs. While removing it, I saw that the eyelet for the screw on the right side was broken. I realized that must have happened during the recall for the front bumper. In reinstalling the bumper, I wasn't able to get the snap-in on the left side engaged, and it eventually broke. It's just a small, thin piece of plastic. Now neither top edge of the bumper is as far in as it should be. I thought of injecting some kind of adhesive in there.

After 2 months of purchasing a set of Buddy Club N+ (for GE), finally got around to installing them with help from my brother.

That height looks perfect. I wish I had the extra $1200 to spend on coil overs right now.
