I never did a DIY, i prob should cause im sure there are some people wanting this look. Ill put it in a nutshell what i did: Used bulb socket from 01 roadlamp and fit it into a modified 9005 socket and put it where the highbeams go. So basically wired the roadlamps into my highbeam's with a piaa yellow bulb. I was shocked when i put the bulb in it gave it a "halo" look. Did nothing to the headlight to get the halo, its just how the reflection is.

Dot matrix on the road lamps on my '03





Makes them not contrast with the blacked out '03 road lamps.

whats your kill list? sorry, i don't go over to the 1G too much.

With the nitrous, I've given modded Evo's a car headstart (3rd gear roll). Without the nitrous, I've won by a bumper (against the same Evo, putting down 298whp at the time). Modded WRX's I've beat without the nitrous (won by 2 cars, 3rd gear roll). Stock Evo's I've killed without the nitrous (4-5 cars, 3rd gear roll). I wouldn't be surprised if I could hit high 12's to low 13's NA with perfect scenarios, and low 12's on the bottle. I'm hoping I weigh under 3,000 lbs now with everything I have stripped.

I have yet to have a good run while on the bottle. But I have had my good runs without it (mainly the race against my friends Evo 8 that was pushing 298whp). He is now pushing 347whp, but we did not get the chance to run when I was in Cali due to his car being in the shop for body repairs.

I know my car is running strange ( I know get the feeling I'm having the same issue as Siggy, could be the vtec pressure solenoid, as my car is not pulling like it use to around 4k-5.4k). So when I get her back, I will be replacing a few things and checking her out. She's in the shop right now for the fender flares so I can fit my Work Emotions on her with some 245's or 235's R Compounds.

Just waiting on the fender flares to be done at the shop so that I can throw these on. Brand new from Japan.

I also get 29mpg. I was bored on my way to Cali, so I tested the mpg on her. I believe the 6 speed tranny, weight loss, extra pullies taken off (A/C and PS), and the throttle control played the biggest factors. Most thought I would get shittier gas mileage with the swap, but I always thought otherwise. And was finally able to prove them wrong.

I'm not sure at all, but I was the first one I've seen on AZ with the Type-S badge on a custom grill.

Actually RonJon put his symbol on at the same place before I had a chance to make my grill.
Also, REDLINEN did the same thing I did a few months after I made mine.



I also bought one of the last of the Neuspeed exhausts.
Oh, and an Acura-CL.com license plate frame.

in my 94 integra I installed a clarion tape deck from 1994, matching clarion 6 disk changer in the back 94, JBL Power 8" sub woofer from 1994, and a 200 watt sony amp from 1994. I am a sucker for that kind of shit. I also have the matching wood grain around the speedo on my 2002 TL-S. i have yet to see one in the black marble wood on another TL-S/CL-S.

4x114.3, 17x8, +25 offset. Will be running R compunds on them, either 235's or 245's all around. That's what the falres were for, to fit wider tires. The offset should also give it that agressive stance I want.

I got them off of eBay last year. The seller I bought them from no longer exists and the ones that are on eBay now look kind of cheap.
