Thank you. Heres the wheels specs..

Work Meister S1 2p
17x8 +35 front
17x8 +20 rear
195/40 tire.
The tire is a bit to small for me. Once the fenders get worked and i get the height dialed in, wheels alignment, then ill look into going with a wider tire depending on how much room i have to play with.

Installed my Js Racing Oil Cap and Radiator Cap. Replaced my stock D2s Bulbs with CBIs. Bluer color, but not convinced its brighter.

Also, decided to clean up alot of my hack wiring job from all these electrical crap i've been doing to my car the last few years. Much cleaner now, but I still got to clean up the driver's side since alot of the stuff are still crammed in there. Shortened my Big 3 wire and routed it better from the alternator to the battery and improved the connection a little bit.

Still looking for a solution for the OEM Honda battery fuse block. I got mine still hanging off the side and i hate how it looks. Wish someone has a battery pole extension to make it taller or something. I've tried to get a custom part, but the damn guy wasn't too interested. oh well.
Looking clean Ryu! How did you like the Js caps? I've heard some say the quality is iffy.

OBTW, do you happen to have the link for the Takeros eyelids for the bump headlights?

It's cool, thanks for looking anyway.

Thats what I have heard. But its legit JDM, so at least you can say you have some authentic J's parts.

I think the question on everybody's mind is: Where did you put your gloves while the cookies were in there? Or did you use the other glove box in the meantime?

Demon eyes look much better. I have this same issue with the fuse block- I'm using a 51R battery and with the Injen CAI there is no room for the fuse block, so I have an extended positive wire and the fuse block is just zip tied out of the way. Ugly as hell.

Going to look into some fender work after the holidays, also considering a fender flare setup, meatier tire and go lower on the ride height.

Whys that? I love a simple clean flare setup. This is what I had on my STI, which I sold earlier this year. I'd like a meaty stance like this, obviously with not as wide of a tire though.
