Just received my Husky Liner mats that I ordered from husky mats|4wo. I can say that the material is glossier and more pliable compared to weathertech. They are not yet in the car so can't tell how they fit. Looks like the quality is good and the price was right, so I decided to get them.

Seems like JDM emblems are not that popular around these forums, I hardly seem 2/20 GEs with them.

Its a Serious improvement for Horning idiot/ignorant drivers ...
I had the Accord horn for a while, but one day I got stuck behind someone who was too busy texting at a stop sign and didn't hear the long honks I was giving him. The only reason he realized someone was behind him was when I went around him, needless to say he looked surprised. So that day I decided I needed another upgrade, so I installed these Hella Sharptones. Let me tell you, they can sure hear me now.

Well, the STI lip arrived and it seems like I need to do some cutting and use a heat gun to adapt it.

Moving on, the passenger headlight had a crack so I purchased a replacement one and installed today.

Here's the crack+scratches (water was leaking inside the headlamp):



Fitting the Headlight


Almost done


Taking the bumper out wasn't that hard, however, I had difficulty trying to align it back; I broke like 2 clips but that can be replaced for really cheap. I spent a couple of hours, first time taking a bumper out and actually changing a headlight assembly. I know you guys would had done it in like 30 minutes.

That was a nasty crack

Glad you got it replaced! Looks good. And yea-- I've taken my bumper off so many times that it clips on and off really easily haha I can probably change headlights and put the bumper back on in less than 10min lol

did my leather steering wheel wrap


added collar to my shift knob with suede boot


also removed my rear spoiler cuz it looks cleaner without it (parked outside because it might flood in houston --might have to take to the streets!)

Did a weekend trip to the Scottish Frestival in Richmond VA - starting off w/Fri lunch at the Capital Ale house in Midlothian, VA
Did the Festival Saturday - then on the way home I hit heavy traffic that slowed me 40 minutes from home
but I averaged 39 MPG on the drive home (125 miles) running mostly 65-68MPH on Premium fuel ... amazing!
On the way there on Friday I was running around 75MPH on the way down and I was getting 35.9-36 MPG ...

Oh - and my license plate transfer papers arrived over the weekend while we were away - finally got the metal plates on Ginger!

^Oof.

And here I was disappointed with getting 39.2 (calculated, computer claimed 41.8) on my last tank which was all my 10 mile commute in ever cooler late fall temperatures.
