I was thinking a valve cover as well. I havent decided what color to paint mine yet. Maybe gold or something crazy like green (inkedup's engine bay looks sweet)

Haha, i know, it sucked your car left the same way it came. Dont worry Marcus is legit and always figures everything out. Just like my underbrace, I am sure he can find a way for it to fit with my exhaust.

Hit me up whenever man. I dig your car, its black. I wish I had gotten either black or white, so your car is nice already in my eyes. Dont worry about looking like a chump, I did for a long time when I went to a meet. Dont worry man, your car is going to look so nice when Marcus gets your parts

Seriously, I wish I could go back in time and get a PWP in manual.

But I figured since I am stuck with a AT silver TSX, I might as well try and rep the Silver TSX's as hard as I can

Dont worry guys, I am uploading some more pictures very shortly. I actually washed my car up today, but the fires in my area made it a little dusty. And I used a Canon Mark II DS 1, So the pictures were better than the ones I already posted.

Well uploading these pictures is taking forever, so I will post some up right now, and some more tomorrow.

I used a 35mm lens and a 40-180 mm lens (somewhere around there, I put it away and forgot the numbers) with Canon Mark II DS1. This was my first time using this camera, so all comments and suggestions are welcome.

Hope you guys enjoy some of the new shots...



















Some Detail shots...





Sorry if it takes forever to upload, I took a lot. All comments are welcome.

as for the Euro-R grille and the A...
where there is a will, there is a way.

around the A is not a circle, it's a squarish
circle, so it could be pulled off I'm sure.

maybe I should give it a try.
I'm sure it's possible with the right tools, a steady
hand, and a good skill set to back it up.



did you have to change out your radiator cover with that grille?

Thanks for the comment MMs, your car is looking good as well.

Maybe you should give the A thing a try. I mean it cant be easy, but at the same time, it isnt rocket science.

Nope, same USDM radiator cover

Haha, I did JUST get an exhaust.

I ordered these parts about 3 months back, when I went on a huge spending spree. I havent really bought to much in these months, but I feel a spending spree coming on I worked for my dad as a Mechanical Engineer for 2 years, and saved all that money. SO thats how I am affording this, all from saving my money, no drug dealing here, haha.

Which rim got the damage?

BTW, your ride has gotten better every time I see it. Are you thinking about getting sponsors?

I definitely agree with you on that one.

Before, people would see my car and just glance at it. In the past two days, I have gotten numerous people whom stare and give my ride a second look.

The back right rim got damaged, pretty nasty. I am going to fix it, and I have some secret plans from there

Thanks for the compliment PACman, much appreciated.

And yes, I am thinking of sponsors, just dont know who to go for. I want to try and go for Meguriars, but from there, I dont know.

Anyone have any suggestions on where/who to look for in sponsors?

Maybe because it actually covers the rockers. The valves are buried in the head!

Actually Honda technically refers to is as a "Cover, Cylinder Head"

Haha, I rubbed my back right wheel a little bit as well, twice. Luckily, neither curb was bad at all. I don't know what it is about that wheel, but it always seems to take the brunt of the abuse (my other 3 are flawless).

Your car is looking sick. I'm really liking the way the A-Spec lip kit is flowing with your car. Keep repping the ASMs .

I wish i got a little curb rash, its more like a curb gash. But I am going to get it fixed.

Thanks for the comment Dayta. I actually got the headlights because I saw them on your car and I loved the way the blue sidemarker matched our color nicely.

I am really surprised on how many people like the A-spec on my car, considering not that many 06+ have the a-spec because they say it looks bad. I am probably going to change it out in the coming months for something else.

ASM FTW, haha. Hopefully my car wont be all show, and actually have some go like yours DAYTA. Hopefully one day I will be boosted...

Order that A-Spec kit damnit. You must be getting sick of Josh talking junk because you have no kit by now... haha.

As for curbage: all four of my Kreutzers have some form of curbage on them. I'm not happy about it but it's a daily driven car, life happens. When I have the liquidity to do so I'm going to get them custom powder-coated... DAYTA already knows the look I'm planning on!

You gotta love that. That happens to me pretty often as well. The other night I ran out to Dunkins for a coffee and pulled up along side this older European looking dude in a minivan, his eyes were glued to my rims+BBK as we started rolling when the light turned green. I just grinned and punched it.

I figured since its my DD as well, I will get some curbage every once in a while, but this was some pretty nasty curbage.

I was going to powdercoat all of mine bronze, but not anymore because I have some other plans

It is so funny when people just stare at your car, because you never know what to do.

I would have been glued to your rims and BBK as well. I plan on getting a BBK soon too, just not sure which one. But thats funny some old European guy was staring at your ride, and then you punched it. I would have probably done the same thing.
