Can't sleep tonight so I figured I'd go out and take some photos and bump my old thread... unfortunately I take such crap photos that only 1 is decent enough to post:
Good enough to be my new avatar.

Very nice MrOtocinclus 
Wait till you have kids, then you will have no problem falling asleep as you'll be completely drained by the end of the day Just kidding.

PM sent.
I believe that, that's why I'm not planning on having kids any time soon.

I think after all is said and done the rims with the tires weigh about the same. By themselves they're supposed to be 23 lbs but I never weighed the stock wheels, so I don't know.

I would also like to get some rolling shots some time before my lease is up... just have to get around to it, and figure out who I trust the most to drive my car!

New pics
I moved the night shot on my server so posting it again, along with some new pics:
Saw a random new Civic and I'm a fan of white cars, plus the cars are sort of from the same family, so... can you see the resemblance?
Viewed from above:
A nice sunny day after a spray wax:
Love the sunlight hitting the wheels:
And lastly, the hood (those black marks are from a dirty sensor on my camera):
Enjoy!

Very noticeable improvement. There is a 360 degree freeway onramp near my mom's house and on the OEM springs I'd always feel like my car was going to flip over. With the Eibachs I feel much more confident at much higher speeds on that onramp.

Yes, I really like how they look when they're clean and in sunlight. Since I usually park indoors at home and at work, I didn't even realize what they looked like clean and in direct sun until recently. "Pop" is definitely the word I would use to describe them in that state.

Yes, I did, but it didn't look quite right with my color, so I took them off:
I still have the lugs, figure I might use them someday. Maybe if I had PWP...

If you parked next to an Accord coupe, I think you would see more of the resemblance. What offset are you running on the wheels, they're so flush.

Nice... Any of you guys interested in modifying your stock rims from the manufacture? All you need is a Carbon fiber film/sticker and just use your imagination, if you know what i mean. Cost is about $30 ;-)

MrOtocinclus,
I guess you've done changing the fog lights, if you don't mind, may I have those info about it? such partnumber? where do you get it from? how easy replacing it? just replacing or have re-wire requirement? Thanks.
Different from most of members here who do love changing the fog lights to bright white color to match with the HID, I personally love having it the glowing yellow similar to what you have up there, in fact, I love foglights with that color, it looks so warm on the blanket of snow. I had it on my Prelude long time back.

The exact bulbs I used were PIAA 13511 bulbs, bought from Amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ef=oss_product
This is a straight replacement of the bulb, which is done by unclipping the bottom of the front bumper, pulling down the liner, and then replacing the bulb. The car manual actually has instructions on how to change the bulbs. If you need it, I can post it here.
In terms of difficulty, I would say it's not too difficult. I had a little trouble working in such a confined area, but once I figured out that I could see my hands looking into the fog light itself, it was much easier. I also had to be careful not to touch the bulb; of course, wearing gloves would solve this problem.
Hope I helped!

Saw this pic in my Windows 7 slideshow and decided to take a break, here's the result:
This is one of my favorite pics of the car. When I was out of town for an extended period this picture kept me going.
I was one of those Sega kids growing up.

Thanks as usual, guys. I'm planning a "mod" between now and September to restore the stock chrome beak... going to start restoring the car back to stock in preparation for my lease's expiration, so there will be more pics!

Well, I don't have to make a decision until I get the notice for an inspection, so I still have time. That said, I am leaning towards turning it in, hence the "plan" to replace the grill.
I could always put the CF grill back on, or go for Mr. Heeltoe's option if I decide to keep the car!
