Agreed. Black goes with anything. You can change wheels and caliper colors and not have to worry about it.

Wow was it hard to make it work ? That was the only thing that kept me of this mod, not having radio control. Nice job.

Any up close shots of your projectors ?
Like to see inside the housing for fit and finish quality.
Did you ever do a DIY on them ?

I didn't do DIY. I didn't take enough pics in progress.
This is most close up pic for now and cut off pics. Here is multi color flickering
(I luv it) video. but quality sucks!! I had good quality one, but i lost it.it.
I'm gonna do another retrofit soon or later when i have time.
either s2k-r or ls430.

This is stock s2k shield cut off.



This is custom shield mod s2k.























and here is multi color flicker video. quality sucks.

Good luck fitting the LS430 in our headlights, unless you remove the reflector from them which cuts down width which is counterintuitive. The whole point of the LS430s is the width.

I love the S2ks though and your projectors look sick in person.

Im waiting for the S2k-Rs as well. Im hoping to retro my brothers Accord using them.

Thanks civic. and you are right man. Ls430 is too big for our headlight. I didn't think of that. I'll just wait for s2k-r.

love it man. the audio control mount looks really good and complete OEM mounted. coming along very nicely.
Thanks man. I luv it man~

I used Black Metallic paint. and clear coat. I don't remember brand. I think i used Dupli color. not sure though.. What's up your progress? What projectors are you using this time?

Cool, I might try that paint if I dont like how my original plan turns out. I have a set of projectors here, but I havent decided if I want to use them. Once I finalize my plans Ill start posting some details.

Or maybe Ill just it a bit more

Congrats on the shift knob! My only concern is that it may get hot in the summer and burn your hand. What's it made out of?

I seriously can't get enough of your car, I love it. Have you thought about getting the TL lip kit? That's the ONLY thing I would consider adding to the car if it were mine.

It made out of ss. It's not that bad in hot and cold weather. I used to have voodoo knob few years back. so i can deal with it.
and for the lip kit, I have sides and rear now. I'm still looking for front one. It's hard to find...

Thanks man.
do u have a short shifter? is it pspec?
Yes I have pspec ss. I used to have neuspeed ss and cut shifter rod about 1.5". now i have pspec ss. and you know what? I don't feel much differences in both height and throw. I was expecting really short throw. Anyway, I had to replace shifter. cause my shifter ball was broken. I like it. exceppt that i had to trim boot bezel. and this knob itself is height adjustable. They call it NTIS? It stands for nylon threaded insert system. pretty cool.

Damn! I was ready to go to Great falls meet today until i noticed my oil pump housing seal leaks on Thursday. It was pretty bad. Everytime i try to go to meet, something happen. Anyway, I fixed it! oil pan and inside of block was pretty clean. even oil screen too. I bought front seal set. It includes crank seal,oil screen o ring,vtec solenoid valve filter and oil pump o ring seal. so i replaced them all. I took some pics.
