Some exterior upgrades since last exterior photoshoot include: OEM 01-02 Sedan fog lights (what a ***** to install, especially to dealership specs), DDM Tuning 5K HIDs, Nokya yellow fog light bulbs, and custom blackhousing headlights.

Some things to come will be a TL-S 6spd RSB with Moog Endlinks. I have the RSB, just waiting to order the endlinks.

Ohh yeah that's true, have you tried sitting in one? I'm 6'0 and keep my seat all the way back and juuust at the top of looking out the windshield. The S2000 felt a lot smaller inside though when I drove one.

that's what's up on the Belmar shore house man! Car is looking good. I was wanting to get yellow fogs too eventually. Wanna help? ;] I still haven't put in those side markers either lol u know anyone in the area that can do a nice job?
#173
I really dont know anyone that would just do that. I'm so far out of the game its unbelivable.
#174
So im in the middle of this Prelude shifter swap and it turned into some trial and error because no one in the 6GA community uses any other alternative besides JTC customs and the now defunct PSpec.
So i kind of pioneered this one and found out i need to use the whole assembled Prelude shifter assembly because there are certain pieces you have to break off to get the Accord shifter out so you can reuse the Accord assembly even though they're identical to the BB6's.
I have a JDM Type-R knob and boot I'm going to use for this little project. My goal is to keep everything on this car to just OEM upgrades, hence using the Prelude shifter as opposed to a PSpec or JTC.

Nice updates, man...I was never a huge fan of the 4 doors of that gen, but you are doing it well. Love the fact that you took enough pride to clean up the dead pedal and replace the hardware. It's all in the details.
Was thinking the 04 EP3 exhaust would have looked good on this car...you know, the dual tips?
Also, have you considered the chrome dipped amber bulbs? To get rid of the orange in the corner front and rears when off?

Right!
Gotcha...well, the RSX-S tips look great. I've actually had BOTH those cars...
OR you can do LED's...but here is what I'm talking about (an example...this is a 7443 bulb) but will make the rear look all clear and red when not indicating.

Hmmm...well, I don't know if it's an option, but for my 97, I ended up using needlenose pliers to break the amber difuser apart and then pulled it out. BUT, I did end up scratching up the reflective chrome. I think a better idea is to use a soldering iron to melt it into pieces then pull it out.
Or just leave it alone...

only pic I have of it...

Tanabe Pro S-OC coilovers. 8K up front and 4K in the rear. I got them brand new for $775 shipped (almost $100 cheaper then anywhere else online). They also make these for the 94-97 Accord chassis. When i install them and break them in, I'll be sure to write up a review.
I also have a TL-S RSB with moog endlinks that im gonna throw on when doing the coilovers too.

SSR Professor SP1's 17x7 +38. Discontinued in those specs and PCD. Picked them up in Silver Springs MD a few days ago, and saw this morning on HT that in the same exact town a set of Kosei K1 (discontinued too and the wheels I was tirelessly searching for this car and the CL) in the same exact specs as the SSR's were for sale. I'm beside myself on that one. lol
well here are the wheels:

I'm gonna polish the lips and the bolts, powdercoat the fronts and apply new SSR stickers.

I love the SP1's in the gloss black. I think one of the Hawaii CL's back in the good days had them like that. I just don't know how it will look in beige. I know I sound selfish but I really wish I came across the Kosei K1's first. 1 piece wheels would keep the simplicity i'm trying to establish with this car. I never wanted to stand out too much while owning this car.
Chris thanks for letting this thread stay in here. I know its not a 1st gen but it still has some relevancy to that chassis.

Wow just realized, I haven't even posted a picture of my car in here lowered on the coilovers. Even after that I haven't done too much to the car. I have a set of SSR Professor SP1's that are lying around. Also found a set of Enkei NT-03 for a sick price that I couldn't pass up. Decided to powdercoat them and wrap them in Dunlop Direzza tires.
Here ya go
Wheels Specs: Enkei NT-03 (17x7 +45)
Suspension:
Tanabe Pro S-OC Coilovers 8k/4k
04-08 TL 6spd RSB
01-03 TLS/CLS front strut bar
Front Brakes are ITR calipers and Prelude VTEC rotors
