It never occurred to me to black out the stupid chrome tips on the Mugen rear. Looks so much better. I like the recent changes, except maybe the front badge because it draws all the attention away from that jealousy-inducing grill lol.

I'm working out details, I'm just being careful on the next step to be sure it doesn't get tacky.

If you ever go Mugen rear you should leave them, they'd look good with the Vienna's.

Update:
-Front Honda emblem removed
-New wheel specs: F / 17x7 +18 R / 17x7 +23
-Lower all around
-Rear fenders rolled (however, not enough. still rubbing in the rears)
-Bent wheel fixed
-Alignment done (-3 camber up front, stock -0.5 in the rear)
-Air filter cleaned
-TPMS malfunction light magically came on, after I fix all the other issues of course.

Lame iPhone pictures:








Debating on what's next, I'm chill with it for now. I just need to sort out the TPMS issue, rear rubbing, and front rubbing over big bumps.

What was the size for the plug on your rear wiper delete?

It's shaved off completely, the shop plastic welded / fiberglassed over it.

Thank you!
What did that run you!? It looks amazing, but sounds like potentially a lot of money.

I did it awhile ago, but IIRC it was about $200/$250 or so to have it filled and color matched.

The took the rear garnish to a body shop and had them fill the hole and paint match it, no one makes a replacement garnish without the wiper hole.

Yeah, I mean you've done so many awesome things with your car. So many original things at that!


Not that you're looking for my advice...but


I think it's almost like the front and rear are different styles. The RPF1's are a cool middle ground, but I would reconcile the VIPish rear with the mixed-up style front if I were you...but then again, you're the one pushing the envelope (in a good way).

Couple updates since last time:
-Removed the muffler, current setup is no resonator and no muffler.
-OEM rear mudguards
-Axis tail lights
-Rear x-bar
-Spoon oil cap
-Spoon radiator cap
-Hella Supertone horns
-JDM hazard switch
-Clazzios removed
-Rear seats taken out
-Spare tire taken out

I don't have pictures of everything, I've been wanting to shoot the car but my camera battery is dead and I seem to have misplaced the charger… so for now, theres these. First three pictures are thanks to burzpaw!

I like your car a lot. It's very clean and everything flows nicely, rims look good, nice drop. Keeping your windows clear? I like the clear look and I feel like I don't see it as much.

With your weight savings, how does it drive vs stock?

Thank you! I'm planning on leaving it tint less, but the summer heat is making it a little hard to keep with that decision haha.

I haven't had the car stock for awhile now, but from what I could tell it did seem a little quicker off the line with the extra weight shaved off. Other than that I haven't noticed much of a difference

I hear ya. My NBP gets really hot in the summer. All that glass really lets so much light and heat in.
