Tru3nV's 2012 CBP coupe build

[Tru3nV]

Hey y'all, I'm pretty new here, but I've had my si since 2012 and haven't done a thing to her until today. I just got back from deployment and saved up enough to get the ball rolling on mods.

As she sat earlier today:

Removed the dealer decal thing

And added type R badges and grfxpressions so sick decal

Welcome back, thanks for your service.

Nice. Welcome to the forums. I see a black stain on the pics. It looks like a layer from a photoshop program.

Dar dar, I actually broke my camera lens on deployment. Haha. All pics taken from my cell.

I ordered buddy club N+ Coilovers, HFP front lip kit, Invidia Q300, and a rear window visor. Hopefully I get those sometime this week. Let's see if time permits me to add them onto the car.

Looking good so far!

 

[Dar-Dar]

How low are you planning to go?

 

[xXCiviXx]

Quite the shopping list you have there hahaha. Can't wait to see it come together

 

[Tru3nV]

So pretty much everything came in today...

And I only got the front lip on... and some fog light film

I couldn't break the bolts off of the stock exhaust. Gonna try to put it on Thursday with the car on a lift. Anyone got any suggestions for how to break those bolts? I tried using this penetrating oil, but no luck.

Add a piece of pipe (or whatever) over the end of your wrench/ratchet. It will greatly reduce the amount of force needed to break it free. I've also seen others put the handle of a ratchet on a floor jack. They've raised the jack on the rachet until the force broke the bolts loose.

I did exactly what's in the picture above, put the top part of the pole from your jack on the end of the ratchet. It's like butter after that

 

[Tru3nV]

So I got her on a lift and got the stock exhaust off and put on the q300. Also got the rear window visor on.

What is with your camera? You got something stuck on the lens?

I broke it on deployment! Haha. I'm waiting on t-mobile to send me a new one, but it's on back order...

It is like a rip in the space-time continuum in every picture!
