Well.. I had a thread here before, but I re-organized my photos in my hosting account and I guess I killed all the photo links. So I'm starting over.

Next up.. ordered some I-VTEC SOHC decals, as a knock off of the Si decals. Many people ask me if my fit is a Sport. And I laugh.

EDIT FEB 1 2012.
It seems the above images involving the installation of the under engine splash shield have generated a large amount of interest. If you think its a good idea and especially if you think you're going to do it yourself on your GE, don't forget to +rep! In an effort to reduce repetitive pm's and posts directed towards me I will reveal the mystery.
The under engine splash shield is a Honda factory part from the CR-Z. It cost me about 50$. It took about an hour to install (with the car raised on a hoist), taking my time and being picky. My primary fastener is zip ties that I just snip off and replace whenever I need to see the underside of the engine, ex. oil changes etc. Very easy to retrofit.

...+REP!! Thanks for reading.

Thanks :)

The plastic is the under-engine splash shield from a 2011 CR-Z. Available at your local Honda dealer for about $40 or $50 I believe. Very easy to retrofit.

And no, the dead pedal is from Zeta Products.

The nice thing about mine is it's the LX model, which means I still got the sport spoiler :) Thats about it though I think.

With the Eibach springs, the rear was about 0.5" to 1" higher then the front, so for now until I get the fronts installed I just lowered the rear to level it out. Once I've got them all on I may go another inch all around.

And the fronts will be going in soon.

Those Heliums look much nicer than the other wheels you have. Good choice on the trade for the stock LX wheels.
