My 2009 ORM GE8 progress

So I've had the car for almost 2 years now and I finally caved in to buying parts for the car

Love the look of the car, the white wheels set it off. Especially like the rear mudflaps and the window visors. Only thing I'd suggest is maybe a JDP front lip and maybe smoked LED tails.

Thought about it but also I'm hoping more companies will make stuff for USDM GE8. I want the JDM LED tails that would be awesome but it's hard to find

Sweet--I'm looking at a similar setup and hoping that I don't rub.

I'm thinking some carbon fiber would set it off--JDP lip and spoiler maybe?
Or paint the rear diffuser? It was pretty easy--I did mine--It'd look great with your mudflaps.
It looks really great though--I like the ORM.

The white/orange combo looks very edible. Looking really good. Might look at center caps for the wheels, but maybe just me as I like the wheel to look completed. Paint the center section of the rear bumper like stated by Amanda. Not sure why Honda sent the NA models out that way as the JDM model has a removable piece that is black and not body colored. It will definitely look much better than it does now.

I'm gonna agree--I think centercaps would look minty.

I don't really like the Work center caps plus they're $30 a piece I'm looking at Rota's white H center caps just didn't get a chance to measure the diameter of the center on the work 11R if the Rota's fit then ya it'll look complete but at $30 a peice I rather buy some bars for the Fit for stability

but thanks for the comments and ya definately looking into painting the rear diffusers and if I mess up I always have JDP's rear diffusers as a back up plan lol

Mudflaps look out of place to me since there are no front ones. I'm aware none are available though for the front. I'd have a full set if they were available. Good looking car though, I don't care for that color and it looks pretty nice to me still.

Very nice wheel on the ORM. But imho, the rear mud guard doesn't feel right to be in there. Any good reason adding them in the first place?

The rest has been awesome. Good job

I can understand the reason for mud flaps, but I've gotta agree with you - they just don't look right....

I've been contemplating putting them on my 2010 SSM and this is really the first time I've seen them on a Sport and I just can't see there effectiveness and they seem out of place. Do they function - keep the rear hatch clean???

Now, as far as all else that's one sweet ride. The color says you have to keep it shiny and you certainly have, nice work. The wheels really go well - good contrast.

I would say a JDM rear wiper mod would be in order and definitely center caps on those trick wheels, I'm thinking solid black. Also red H badges front and rear.
