04 NBP Project

Finally got around to wheels/suspension.


No better photos at the time, once I get my headlights sanded, I'll snap some new shots. Also moving down a perch on the Konis to clear up the wheel gap.

Do the window visors stop the buffeting sound when the rear windows are down? I am thinking about getting a set, and I would be sold if it stop that annoying sound when someone rolls down the rear window.

My first pic is a little outdated, I have since installed 3500K foglights and a HIC rear roof visor. Waiting until I move down a perch to shoot new photos.

Also started painting my grill. The hood trim won't come off so I need a replacement one before I can paint it


And a shot of my HIC rear roof visor

Lowered another perch on the struts. For anyone that is curious it is possible to do this with the suspension on the car. Also debadged but no need for pics there.

Longevity is usually what's in question.

Need to snap some new pics now that I put on a the a-spec lip kit. Huge shout out to curry acura for the hook up. Also apologies to all you asking about the head light restore. I just took em out, sanded with various grit (I'd have to look it up to see what I used) depending on pitting thought you could start pretty rough, ended with I want to say 3000 grit. Polished with polishing compound and a hand held buffer. After that I applied 50/50 spar urethane, and mineral spirits. Pro-tip make sure you buy clear urethane not semi gloss
