Click to expand...

It drones... nowhere near as bad as a straight-piped Integra, but its noticeable, but the note sure is nice.

On 8/16/14 I installed:

- PIAA yellow fogs
- Injen axle back
- DC Sports SRI

* Continental DWS are waiting in the garage, one of my OEM wheels is cracked, so i was "forced" into buying rims... XXR 531, 17x9 +35 are on the way.

Pics so far and video of exhaust:

Tires have about 50% left, no TPMS will be included... A friend offered me $250 for all four... Good deal?

Also, what's a good selling price for OEM axleback and the OEM intake?
 
Yessir, I'm not a fan of dark tints ... At all, and cops are very anal about here in IL, so I'm going to go with 40% all around. And get 80% 3m on the windshield, they got a film that dramatically decreases glare and blocks heat and UV rays, I had it in my older car.
 
Hey how do the HR springs ride? Are they progressive or linear rate? Thx.
 
Thanks for replying that one for me webby, hah, but in my own words, the ride is stiffer, and I definitely feel more grip on corners, but when the road gets bumpy you definitely feel it in the car, specially when you go from a high road to a lower surface level, in the rebound I have hit my head in the rooftop lmao

So the PIAAs hyper yellow only lasted like 9 months, i got HID headlights and fogs from DDM tuning.
