Your car looks great! I love your headlights. I want some just like them (except mine are American with fog lights). They flow so nicely on a light colored car.

Possibly get rid of other dents while I'm at it too
Thanks dude!

All the sun we got melted it away though =(

Got together yesterday afternoon with a good friend who has an RSX.
Installed foglights (easier than I thought) and blacked out his headlights.
Both tasks came out perfect.

Almost got swiped today while I was parked and waiting.
Girl from school parked beside me was reversing out and must have just got her license or doesn't know how to drive but she turned her wheel way too early...
I swore her front driver side swiped my passenger side doors, but I didn't hear anything so I guess I got lucky
I was looking in my side view mirror though and I SWEAR I saw her car touch mine...
I swear her car went an inch into my car (looking through ym side view mirror)
Maybe that mirror is playing tricks?
Anywho, went home and washed, clayed, and waxed my car
Will have pictures...

I never saw the new pictures with the RSX! Those turned out great!
As for the parking situation, I've had a few close calls like that before. My girlfriend was sitting in a parking lot and a girl driving a Odyssey that just got her permit tried to park next to her. She turned way too early and went into the spot at like a 45 degree angle, almost getting stuck between my girlfriend's car and the car two spots down. I wanted to punch the girl in the face, pull her out of the car, get behind the wheel, and move her shit ass van out of the way so I could get back in my girlfriend's car

Will do
Yeah, I think I'm gonna go out ONE more time to see if I can find any scratches along my passenger doors LOL
I would be able to hear the cars scrape right?
I've never had anyone scrape my car before, nor have I scraped anything so I don't know if I'm supposed to hear or feel something when it happens...

DAMN just hearing of 45 degree angle is scary!!
I don't know the girl who was parked beside me, but I know one of her passengers...
I'll tell her tommorow to tell her friend to learn how to back up first, then turn the wheel instead of turning the wheel immediately
LUCKILY the space inbetween our cars when they were parked was big.
If our cars were parked any closer, she would have hit my door no questions.

You'd be surprised how far the car is even when you THINK they are going to hit you. I know this because when my fiancee drives I have so many moments where I'm like AHHHHHHH you're going to hit the curb or a parked car and she doesn't. I'm not saying she doesn't push the limit, but when we freak out, you still got another foot probably. 
You'd know it if she hit you. Don't worry.
Cool pics, man...was never a huge fan of the 02 thru 04...the 05's I was in love with and bought one.
Looking forward to your clean car pics too!

I ended up talking to one of the passengers today and she said that the driver was really new as in "just got her license for a couple days" new...
Supposedly when I brought it up she was like yeah "she cut off a van so bad" I was like "Nah wtf! I'm talking about when she was reversing from her parking spot!"
How do these people even get their license in the first place?
I'm gonna see if I can park in the sparse area behind the school where only staff are allowed to park
My car can't sit pretty in the parking lot where everyone else parks, for people to see, but at least I know it won't be hit.

The grill is actually carbon fiber vinyl.
3M 1080 Carbon Fiber Vinyl I bought from metrorestyling.
I have to redo it, though, and take off my bumper this time lol
I just stood tall and held the camera up high lol
Havn't driven the car yet LOL
It's been snowy and rainy again.
Tommorow is looking warm AND sunny.
I spend too much money at the wash
It SHOULD be safe behind the school, but it's a little sketchy too.
I know no one will hit my car with their car, but the punks who walk back there make me worried about parking back there.

Thanks folks!
Just ordered my 12SMT 5050 LED boards for the rear domes and 15SMT 5050 LED boards for the front domes =)
No doubt that they will be brighter than my VLEDs setup I have right now.
I'll try to take pictures tommorow of the car!
Today has been so cloudy and so windy.
Tommorow is looking REALLY warm and I might even swap to my A-Spec summer rims.

So Shtewps and I met up half way (an hour drive for both of us) to a ski/snowboard resort.
It was 15 degrees C which is like 59 degrees F so yeah, it was warm out and the snow sucked.
We had to go boarding once this year though for the hell of it.

Haha, thanks fellas.
So my cold cathode inverters came in (bought 5 of them lol) and I finally finished the trunk cold cathodes.
All I can say is bright as fakk.
Videos/pictures soon!
The problem my first inverter blew was because I wired the negative wire to the positive and positive to negative. STUPID mistake.
I was cocky and confident all the this time after it blew that it was a defective inverter and my wiring was right.
Who knew the smaller wire was positive?
