I went from an a/t to a m/t - woot woot this car is really night and day when it comes to off the line speed

Yup maybe smaller and a gray instead of white would look nicer in that spot. Yes AT to MT is great, and you feel like its such a large improvement on off the line speed??

the decals are almost the same exact silver of the paint, metallic Flake in it and all - it just looks white in the pics, but it is silver

i have never driven a gd m/t, but this ge is alot quicker and the motor almost growles or grunts (might be because its brand new, but i dont remember my gd feeling like this when new - it was an auto though)

Setup looks great in silver. The grille looks even better when contrasting with a different color. My car is black so its not totally noticeable. Not feeling the stickers though, best bet is just to debadge it and let and parts do the talking for you.

How difficult was the windshield banner install?it looks neatly tucked under the weather stripping. Plain black would look sweet on my car I think lol

not tucked, just very carefully trimmed to windshield molding, its not hard if i'm not cutting anything out of it, if you can believe it this one is almost 10" long and curved on the bottom if you can see it, i've installed them on all my cars for over 10 years - once you have one you can't stand to not!

i can make you one for a few bones - lol

i will put a tape on it tomorrow and post a couple pics to show, its pretty easy, no soap, just a mist of water on the decal amd windshield that way once the water is squeeged (lol sp) out the decal wont move and trimming is pretty easy - a real squeege helps alot too (aint no driverslicence/creditcard crap around here!!!)

We noticed that too. With stock intakes the GE growls more.

BTW how do you like that Mugen shift knob? I'm so close to buying one or the cheaper Circuit Hero knob because I can't stand the stock rubber knob. It's way too light.

Aight vtec (what's your real name, btw?--I'm Amanda)

Anyways...I have the Blox 490 Spherical (neo brushed) and I LOVE IT! I cannot say enough how much I adore this knob--got it for Christmas and it has exceeded all of my expectations.

For only $43.00 you can't go wrong! So heavy and soooo nice!

If you're ever in the Dallas area, you better bring your damn squeegee and come put a windshield banner on Adele, LOL.

update: its been awhile since i posted here and noticed i didnt answer a few questions
hey Amanda, my real name is steve wilson, but most people know me as "wilson" oh and i ended up with a carbonfiber (round) knob and i love it, its twice or three tines heavier than the stock plastic one but not as heavy as a skunk knob, but it doesnt get hot like a skunk one either in the sunlight.
fitproject, i think i am going to take the little mugen decals off and let the kit speak!!!! as i'm moving to socal in 6 weeks or so and dont want to advertise it!

here are a few pics from the last three months
malibu in april (road trip after being laid off)


on top of the mgm grand parking garage (same road trip)


some people dont like the mugen kit but i cant imagine my car without it, since it was installed three days after getting the car.

pch south of malibu



the view ourside my bedroom window LOL


socal fit meet in torrance 04/2010


my sig pic was taken three days ago 06112010 as i introduced my crx (1990 si turbo e85 i've had in the shop for 18mo) to the newest member of the fam (2010 fit sport mt/nav)


find me on facebook if you want, i post pics all the time, its way easier
Welcome to Facebook

untill next time
