What rims are you looking at?
Tough question when there are so many good options!!
I have a pair (only 2) Drag DR16 rims. Red with polished lip 15x7 if you are interested in them at all.

finished up some wiring with my retrofit and cleaned up a little. got the halos working. still need to work on setting the alignment. waiting for dark before i yonder out again. pulled out #15 fuse for the DRL. it's the 7.5 amp one above the 10 amp 2nd column. easiest thing i had to do today.

Last night, i did a little re-wiring of the harness that came with the Sprintex supercharger. I unplugged the piggyback from the harness then reconnected the intercepted OE wires. Basically, its as if there's no extra harness installed. So now, i have an "untuned" supercharger, letting the factory ECU control fuel trims. Not too shabby.

Then, right before i came to work, i swapped the factory fuel pump with a Deatschwerk DW65c fuel pump. In case anyone is curious, it is indeed a straight swap (minus one OE part). So, if you want to buy it, don't need any version with clips or mounts... Just one or two O-rings to use in place of the factory clip (and some lube).

So far, its looking good.

Seems like the factory pump is sufficient for the supercharger, if and ONLY if you refrain from holding high RPM. Regular redline shifting is okay.

my driveway isn't level so it's slanted. it might still be a bit high.

Specs:
Morimoto Round D2S 3.0
Phillips 81522 4300k
Matsushita Gen V Ballast
Amber Morimoto xB 100 mm LED Halo
White (4300k) Morimoto xB 80 mm LED halo
TYC headlights from Rockauto.com
Morimoto T10 White LED

Install wasn't as bad as i thought. Used a heatgun to open it up. 1st one took me like 4 hours to finish. The 2nd headlight took 1 hour. There was quite a difference between how both headlights were made by TYC. The NSF certified one was much cleaner with the sealant. However the back plastic part wasn't as solid as OEM. Alot of complaints on hidplanet regarding the new T10s not working OOB. Mine fired up no problems and now the whites match.

It's crazy to me how people spend so much time and money doing this kind of thing to a little econobox... I wish I wasn't one of them myself. I love the look and eventually will get around to installing the retrofit lights and aftermarket bumper I drove over 350 miles to buy from Honda-David in Houston. Your car is gorgeous.
