New pics of my S/C'd CL9
Sorry for the bad quality of the pics, i snapped them today after work so I was real tired and they were with my camera phone. I'll take better pics when i get my new digi cam. New mods are the Cusco front strut bar, Custom Powdercoated diamond black Rays 57F in 18x8.5 ET45 with black Rays Lug nuts, JDM tail lights, Carbon Fiber B pillar's, blackout window trim and door handles. Oh, also the Comptech Supercharger!

Thanx. I had gunmetal Volk racing GT7 previously and they flowed well with the chrome grill and door handles/window trim but I grew tired of the look so went with the blk/blk theme. I love the new power, still trying to get used to it. Car should have come like this from the factory. I picked up the S/C from a seller here on the forums.

Ahh, so you must be the one who bought NJTSXMan's S/C. You got a good deal .
I was going to pick it up, but Hondata wouldn't reflash my 06 ECU even if I paid them the standard $595 for the regular reflash

How does the exhaust note sound since you added the S/C? Any extra cabin noise/vibrations with the S/C compared without?

Sick ride. I too would have went with a different rim, but that doesn't mean what you have doesn't look good. It looks great.

I have the SPC up front and can't have it that low becuase of clearance issues with the camber kit and the strut tower.

Hehe..that's right. I'm really liking the DC5R wheels on your ride, flows very well IMO. The S/C would just top it off.
