Got a few things from JDP today in a very big box. Current skunk 2 GD suspension blew out on me yesterday. Looks like the Tanabes are going on tomorrow.

Nice. I like the wiper delete garnish. Haven't seen too many of those.

Off to a good start already Joel, I feel like it's going to be even better the second time around. And it couldn't have been a more convenient time for your suspension to blow . Looks like we'll be installing suspension at the same time, I'm helping my friend put coilovers on his RSX today.

Got a lot of things finished. Waiting on a detail and then need to find someone with a decent camera.

Love the rims. Yeah I can see where spacers will finish it up nicely.

Off to an awesome start.

Thanks all. I'm pretty happy with the progress.

I can only go lower in the back with the Tanabes (and I did). It looks good... it's not slammed, but I had enough of slammed with the skunk 2's I had on it. It gets old after a while.

The cf hood is at home in Texas... I am contemplating having it shipped, or I might just pick it up if I ever drive back.

Project Mu lugs and 12mm spacers are in the mail. Next up hopefully tanabe touring medallion.

The whip is looking real good. Post up some more pics!

If you're a beginner looking into starting photography, I would suggest the Canon Rebel series, preferably the XSi/T1i/T2i/T3i models. But, I'd also suggest for you to go to an electronics store and see how the cameras feel in your hand and play around with them. The Canon Rebel cameras felt more comfortable in my hand compared to the Nikon DSLR's so that was what won me over.
