no the wheels aren't chrome. silver with a polished lip they just look shiny as hell in the pics i guess hahah. the grills all black just looks funny from the lighting in the pic. ya i got some underhood shots i'll post em. as for the A i regret ever doing that. i just haven't gotten around to ordering a new one yet.
i like them a lot!

lol no they're definitely not motegis. they're actually an 800 dollar wheel and tire package from wheelfire.com (ooh i hope they pay me for the pitch) they're called speedy lite5's. corny name but they're awesome rims i love em. aside from the intake its got a stainless steel cat-back exhaust on it. also generirc lol i'm cheap. i was also running a test pipe but took it off in favor of the stock cat recently becuase i was sick of the CEL and wasn't sure what exactly not having a secondary 02 was doing for my fuel trim. but besides those and the drop its bone stock. thanks everyone for the compliments. much appreciated. any other advice for future stuff would be awesome too.

Nice. I like how the blackhousing and grill compliment the ambers, and the wheels set everything off. What are you dropped on?

thank you. it was pretty nice. you notice it a lot tho going from the test pipe back to a cat. its a lot louder with the test pipe but then again my exaust is basically straight thru pipe with some glass packing anyways so it's loud as fuuuuuck without the silencer. but it also sounded mean. it had a real deep idle and stays nice and deep til about 3-4K and after that it turns into a throaty scream. it still sounds great with the cat on tho. you also feel a little bit going to a test pipe. another thing you'll notice is your un-catalyzed exaust will smell different. not a big deal. i'd say go for it. the one i used was for the accord from megan racing at andysautosport.com.

thanks. one of my friends said i should maybe smoke em a little bit? it could look good. its dropped on a set of neuspeed springs, the lowest they offer. its a 2.2inch drop in the front and a 2inch drop in the rear. unless you get a camber kit you're going to have to live with some front camber. the back can be dialed out but the fronts can only be adjusted so far. like mine i think has 2 degrees in the front which is exactly what i wanted so it worked out pretty good but it all depends what you want. i rode in my freinds tiburon thats dropped on some eibach springs and its way too stiff. you feel every little bump. the neuspeeds drop it lower and ride ten times better and it can still slice a damn good corner with very little body roll.

You say that like motegi makes a bad product?
i didnt realize how much you spend on wheels played such a big role in the process//made such a big impact on the wheels themselves.

You dropped 2.2 inches without upgrading your struts?

Return the header and save for an H22. That looks like a nice clean 4cylinder platform to start from!
