There are HUNDREDS!! maybe a thousand ++ people there when we arrived. The place's down south of Taiwan.

yup!! the TAIWAN 7-11...

Somehow, i find Taiwan's 7-11 more fun than USA's..

here's my guess:


pic 1- RSB
pic 2 - a bulb of some sort, possibly high beam or fog?
pic 3 - acura sticker, maybe dor the center caps or steering wheel?
pic 4 - headlight, possibly JDM?

Could those be installed in a TSX? Because, we all know what happens to threads that aren't TSX related.

And the shrimps ended up like that after being caught by me...

I wanted to let it go tho, but my friend didn't really like that idea.

a RSB is an easy install that you could do yourself, but i do recommend removing one of the rear wheels which makes it so much easier to install the after market RSB.

the headlights i've yet to do so i wouldn't know what to tell you, but it does look to be an easy install if you are just planning on swapping the housings as a whole unit.

Taking off the tire. Yea, i think i can do that. But other stuff, i think i will still need someone who really know to do it for me. @@ Thought i wld need to raise the car for it?!?!
i'LL see if i can find any thread talking about installations..

Headlights, i MIGHT try to do it myself since it won't cause accidents even if i didn't get it install properly..

thanks sean.

yeah you'll need to lift the car for the RSB installation, but if you find the instructions on here or the other site in the DIY section and follow them you will see it was a very easy install

umm ching you should just buy it yourself from kragen and cut them. thats exactly what these people on ebay do. they buy it as a whole thing and just cut it with scissors then mark up the price by like over 20 bucks. if you need help on this ching ask me. i can show you where to buy it and help you instal it for no more than $6


btw i have it on mine and it looks pretty good. ill take some pictures later when i fix it
