but now I can see if it is blue then it is for light
while if it is red then it is the Air Purifier
I am kinda old now so I often forget the button location
plus it looks kinda cute with colored button
Do you feel that the air is actually any different?

Thanks, sounds great! I was very interested to hear this, it looked a lot like the hps. Although yours looked like a single wall design & the hps is double wall. I expected it to be louder. Couldnt hear well enough to tell but it sounded less hollow than the hps. Kinda wishing I got that one instead.

Yes it feel fresher and remove odor too.
This Plasmacluster is a system invented by Sharps Electronics,
and Sharps actually sell a home A/C system equipped with Plasmacluster or even a stand alone Plasmacluster system for home.
It sell very well in Asia.

Ill have to research that. I know in one version of the fit the plasma cluster is built right into the auto climate control!

It's been awhile since I've been active on the forums, patiently waiting for a couple things to get back from paint!

Honestly, not much. The stock hood is already very light since it's so small. It shaved a couple extra pounds off, it was more for the aesthetic build on my car. If you really want to make a noticeable difference, take the rear seats out and some lighter wheels.

FINALLY got my Shuttle grilles, and installed them It did take some modification to both the grille and the shock absorber which I wasn't too thrilled about, but you can't tell at all and it doesn't affect the shock absorber. All I had to do was saw off the two clips on top which have no use anymore. I had to cut the bottom middle part of the grille out, because the Shuttle grille has a lower section that the Sport grille does not have, so it wouldn't fit without this modification. It sits perfectly and is secure, so I'm not worried. Car doesn't look as aggressive with the grille as I thought, but hey I'm one of only a handful of people to have this grille in the US I have some low quality pics but I'll take some nice pictures soon. The car is finally complete (minus the sway bar end-link I might have to replace, and an alignment)

Like a FULL Front JDM RS Conversion perhaps ?
With a FULL Mugen Front Lower Under Spoiler (and the Mugen lighting)?

I also prefer the USDM Mugen but I can't say it doesn't look good... Expensive as all hell though I'm sure.

I think the bumper is around 800 bucks on its own, then you gotta pay shipping and potentially buy the noblesse custom foglight assemblies. Then of course paint, but otherwise the shuttle version should be a direct fit.

Would be sweet for the novelty factor though especially outside of japan.

This is true, but not worth the $$$ IMO

I had this idea in my head for a while now-- being a really big fan of Noblesse kits. I will most likely try doing this if I ever get the chance
