Nice CBP! I like the pictures you've got on the first page the best. You've got a good eye for photos but a crappy camera ;-) New hobby maybe?

I'm liking the mods you've done as well. Keep up the good work! Check out my CBP here when you get a chance

So i went to a local shop that makes stickers/t shirts, kinda like cafepress, and had a
" I <3 My Honda " sticker made. then i grabed a lp frame with dealership writing on it and gave it afew coats of black spray paint. added the sticker and wala! magic =D

As for the emblem, while i was at the sticker shop i noticed they had a pile of vinyl scraps. i asked if i could have some and they said sure. i wasnt sure how it would turn out but it looks good. cant really tell its a sticker. simply lay it over your stock emblem and use an exacto knife to cut it up. make sure you have a steady hand. if your not comforable doing that you can just remove your emblem, trace it and stick it. either way its not that hard. ill be doing this to my steering wheel "H" too. and just had another idea from doing this too.

more to come!

Yep, that focused beam of light focuses a lot of heat. I guess it was worth a shot!

Any one come up with a wire mesh fog light grill to fit flush with the lens opening in the housing? Can't understand people thinking a piece of tape will do anything.

Sucks about the other fog lamp cracking. I'm waiting for my driver's side to crack so it'll give me an excuse to order a new pair.
