When wifey was away, look what I did
Look what I did when wifey was away for 3 weeks on a business trip! Haha! I couldn't help myself so I thought a while back I should do as much as I can while she's away. Almost done, I still have a few things left I wanna do but since she is getting back in 2 days this will be the end product she sees. Do you think she'll like it?

Right b4 the night pics
Mods are: OEM body Kit, Progress rear sway bar, A-Spec suspension, RJ Inspyre 18X7.5 with Toyo Proxyes Tires, Comptech Ice Box, Hondata heat gasket, DC Sport Headers, Fujistobo exhaust, EBC Sport Groove Rotors and Pads (front), Momo shift knob and Dynamat extreme trunk and rear seat
On order: Dash trim kit/aluminum, Comptech Strut Bar, Stoneguard and hopefully have the floor/roof with cascade along with replacing stock speakers/amp - that should be done within 2 weeks. Building a heatshield, Might Re-Flash once the mods break-in
The black bimmer is my bro's. He has a few mods here and there, haha I gotta give him a lot of credit and thanks for all the help... And of course, to everyone here on forum -- I doubt without any of guidance and answering all my stupid questions I wouldn't have gotten close to this. THANKS everyone
Let me know what you all think.

Looks good! How much ya wanna bet wifey doesn't even recognize the body kit? I like those RJs. She will definately notice those. Is the suspension adjustable? It could come down a bit more, that would really set the body kit and RJs off. So what are you ganna do the next time she leaves town?

Also, the car isn't SSM, its the Meteor Silver. Once the Stoneguard is in place I'll have the Zaino.

Rule of thought is to order everything ahead of time and make sure you get it on time. There was some items on back order like crazy

Looking good there! Love the ronjon's.
Did you get a camber kit so that the alignment is adjustable in the rear?
I think with the drop, the camber will be off even more. Might be a good idea.
Of course, the wife wont notice the kit lol.

Looks good. Just go ahead and get the reflash done though. Mods don't need to "settle in" for a reflash to take full effect. You could easily do it all in the same day (which I've seen done for RSXs). As long as your engine has passed the break-in period, you're set.
You'll want to get that alignment done within a week of putting the A-spec suspension on. Camber is the least of your worries. Toe is the bit that will be the most out of whack. You're going ot destroy your tires because of out of spec toes before the camber offset from the A-spec will.

How do you like the Fujitsubo exhaust? Mine looks and sounds awesome. I love it.
The A-spec doesnt settle down any. I have a few thousand miles on my A-spec and it looks the same as when I installed. Also I did not get an alignment yet and I dont see any abnormal tire wear, and the car tracks fine.
My car is out of service at the moment. I sent my ecu to hondata to get reflashed. It should be back Fri or Sat.

Man, each time I read a review on the Fujitsubo Legalis-R Catback, the more I think that would be the perfect catback for me since I'm looking for something with a larger tip, nice sound, but the cabin noise is not unbareable. I think I need to sit in a car that has the Fujitsubo and a car that has the Evo2.
