Bacon's build (LX coupe)

[canadianbacon88]

So I guess this my build thread for my car. It's a 2013 LX, I got it in March since my previous car was wrote off in an accident (not my fault).

Anyways, I've done a few things to it so far, intake resonator delete, 8th gen axleback exhaust, 2014 or 2015 Si wheels, Skunk2 lowering springs with Godspeed Project rear upper control arms. I plan on tinting my tail lights this coming week.

Future plans include getting foglights, the windows tinted, lip kit (front, rear and skirts), full catback exhaust, header and downpipe.

Nice. I always like coupe. Any chance on transforming her to HFP coupe?

Thanks, I'm not a big sedan guy lol. What differentiates an HFP from a normal one, cosmetic wise? Is it just the small lips on it, and skirts?

Nice progress so far

Thanks man, it's a lot more fun to drive now. I've also had some people turning to look at it going by too, not a lot of lowered 9th gens here, especially on these wheels.

Thanks man, I fell in love with the wheels the first time I saw them.

Everybody, calm down for this ground breaking update:

Skunk2 shift knob was installed today!....It's cool that it's smaller, but honestly the stock one feels heavier.

Not that much to post on this as I haven't done a whole lot, but I did find the thread on the Godspeed control arms (http://9thcivic.com/forum/threads/godspeed-camber-arm-owners-beware.9011/) since mine did have about the 1-1.5mm gap, I fixed that with a washer per side, then greased the hell out of them.

Also, I have a Tsudo catback coming for this, supposed to be showing up Friday, hopefully I can get it installed next week.
