Oh well I guess it's just for the base Lx versions. That's about the only thing it's got better than the sport lol

Thanks! I changed the location. Cut a slot in the bumper cover and pulled it through. Also have it zip tied so it will stay down. The popular look right now seems to be getting a really long strap and having it hang way down out of the bumper somewhere. I prefer this shorter setup, to each their own though. The mounting point I used is a little square hole in the backside of the actual bumper beam itself. I drilled the whole out so it was round and as big as the hole in the bracket of the tow strap itself, then found a bolt and nut big enough to properly secure it. So it is actually functional now. If you want it just for looks tho, you don't need to worry about reaming out that hole to make it bigger, you could just use a small nut and bolt. If you take off your grille and grille cover, you can look down and probably find the square hole I'm talking about fairly easy. Then mess around with how you mount the strap to make it hang out as long or short as you want. Hope that helps, lemme know if you want more info.

I'm really in love with the Speedhunters x Takata tow strap right now - Speedhunters Takata Silver Tow Strap - Speedhunters Store. Who knows, I might buy a couple and put them on the front and back, hanging down all crazy like all the drifters haha.

Doesn't match my CBP of course, but my paint is in such horrible shape it doesn't really matter.

Chemical Guys is having a 25% off sale so I bought some Microfiber wash.



I use this for my seats/floor mats and of course to clean my Microfiber towells

PS, anyone remember the Accord I included?

Thanks for your help. I am still deciding which one to buy takata or omp strap, i prefer a shorter strap which is just right amount of length to be seen outside. BTW nice grill looks agressive.

Put 2 new AD08Rs on (205/50R16). Moved the front AD08Rs to the back as they are not very old. Did this as the AD08s that were out back were old and 1 picked up a screw last weekend, had it plugged, but they were do for a change anyways. The 08Rs have much more grip over the outgoing 08s.

Possibly receiving my new J's bumper today or tomorrow to replace my current one as it is a little banged up. Will repair the first one and maybe paint it differently and have it on standby.
