wtf?? where my road lamp go?

picture on 10/01




picture this morning









WTF?? where the fuck did my road lamp go???

I just grabbed lunch and took a look at my car and noticed it was missing.

ERRR.. i'm gonna get the 03 road lamp inserts and put them in both sides now...

Last time I even touched the road lamps was 5 months ago...

Whoah that's whack. You didn't do that on purpose for your intake, right?

Btw your car looks mad low for a Comptech drop... is your trunk full of stuff as usual?

well i have a shock sensor hooked up to the alarm but obviously they didn't make enough 'shock' for it to go off. err time to bump up the sensitivity.

if you put the 03 inserts in there, make sure you paint the grill like an 03; otherwise your car looks like this:

wow...that's shitty...

hope it wasn't a thief. I've had two sets of aftermarket fog lights stolen off my Integra. One was in front of a bowling alley, the second time at a ski resort they only took one bulb. bastards...those CATZ XLO's cost me $160/pair

What do 03 inserts look like? Personally I'd just mesh them up and leave it like that for the intake.

that sucks, but it's kinda funny at the same time..i guess some people will steal anything.

on the bright side, you're going to the track..it won't kill .1 sec off your 1/4 mile, but hey, every little bit counts.

i took off my roadlamp housing once..to me it sounds better, but that might be psychological.

Well look on the bright side, your car is original, how many members have only 1 roadlamp. Sorry about the theft though.

If that is really the case, I'm sorry, dude.

Just remove the other side and put mesh there. It will look much better.

STS effectively blocked most of the airflow to the engine.

I see this happening a lot on CLs... do you guys think maybe it oculd just have fallen off? I mnea one screw and that's it.. I think after a lot of vibration the screw could have loosened and one pothole might make it pop right off... NO one would REALLY steal thess I don't think atl east not without stealing them both... I'd see more sense if it was an emblem that got stolen off of his car... it's still too bad though... sorry to hear it...

It's a screen and thus not solid.

True. Loosely spaced mesh doesn't block much air flow. You get much more air than the 03 plastic inserts.

Yes, but it's a tight mesh with much much more obstruction than the original openings had. It will impede not only airflow to the engine, it will also create a little more resistance at high speed.

I'd didn't day it was stopping all air from going in - clearly it's a mesh. It's still blocking a lot of the airflow that was there and causing turbulence further forward where there were once just a large openings.
