in all honesty.. molded lips are a pain in the ass. well..atleast the front one is. because if it gets fucked up, you cant just take it off or whatever and theres more shit that can screw up the paint then when its not molded to the bumper. it does allow it to look more stock though..which to some is good i guess?

We have a project thread, should I make a future project thread too?

I wouldn't...

Molded lips are more for look than function, when you make the lip part of the bumper you are def complicating the process for any repair, like you said, can't just take the lip off and paint it, but it does look smooth

well since the length of the bolts barely cleared the holes that it goes into. well just say that it didn't hold on.

Yeah the fiberglass in that area is really thick, I used zip ties to hold it in there good, you should try that next time, zip tie to the center brace, although that was with a 97 grill, dunno about custom grills

asianspec

zipties were a fail for me. maybe the next grill that i find i have to use small washers or so.

That's also my fear when I get around to doing my next custom grill, is I'll have no way to attach it minus the 2 screws that don't really catch that well, guess I'll have to give it some more thought, I really don't want to grind down the hood at all

Just noticed this in your mods list "A rear bumper that wont stay on" nice

Think is the key word my friend...


Anyways, my shift knob came in today.. but when i fully screwed it on, it was upside down... so, being the thrifty bastard I am, I stuffed it with receipts in my car and now its perfect! haha

But... the boot doesn't connect to it. do you guys have any ideas of how i can mod the stock boot to sit snugly to the aftermarket knob?

my heat shield on my cat finally fell off..it was hanging by a rusty bolt. went over a couple speed bumps and that took care of it.

i couldn't see anyway to get light to go through the red, I looked, didn't see anyway to get it tolight up that wouldn't be a nightmare, I'll have to take another look though....

any body know if an h22 lsd tranny could be bolted up to an f22?

AznX TL

it should, you can bolt up a f22 tranny on a h22, so i dont see why the opposite wouldnt work.

Gnate

iTrader: (10)

Do you think it would be worth it for someone with a turbod f22?

AznX TL

no, the h22 has shorter gears. and turbos like taller gears.

Gnate

iTrader: (10)

Alas, I should have asked that to begin with.

whose is it?

mitch14

^ i have no idea
i like the writeup tho, and the comment on the exhaust "...it rumbles with a sweet sound..." lol

i dunno bout that exhaust either, looks fugly
and in a couple of the pics the tailights look badly tinted or smoked, and in the other pics they're normal

GhettoNinja06

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, I noticed the taillights looked funny on the side view pics. Might just be the lighting or something. The exhaust is overkill..

mitch14

but the better question is who cl is this?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Acura...1%7C240%3A1318
s2000 seats, full red and black interior, dropped, flip-out dvd player etc...

GhettoNinja06

Looks like he spent so much time on the interior the exterior looks stock except for the ghey grill, wheels, and slight drop..

mitch14

corrected, oh and in addition to your comment
clearly he also has tint, smoked corners, two eibach decals, shaved "3.0", plus various unique dents, a trunk that won't close, and a front bumper that's caved in by the driver's side wheel
^that stuff takes time, all those unique touches just don't happen overnight, and no one will ever have the same exterior as him
