my mod bug has finally hit!

OH GEEZE I can't believe my wallet is starting to burn holes inside of them and my plastics are getting hot! Anyway, I finally was now able to get some parts and one out of the two is installed. I bought OEM Visors, and Comptech Lowering Springs. They were at a great price coming from Acura of Lynnwood.

My plans this mid summer is to get my lip kit, comptech icebox cold air intake and foglights with 3000k hids installed.

Looks good

If you need help with your fog light install, just let me know. I'm in the area and installed mine about a week ago on my 04. Most of it is pretty easy, but it's a HUGE bitch to the relay set up. At least it was for me. Just let me know if you need any help with it!

AH I love the sound coming from this exhaust. Especially when I speed up on the freeway. But anyway, here's another change. I wonder if you guys can spot it.
