i love my konigs ...it depresses me that you guys don't like them ... i paid a lot of money for them.....oh well i guess you cant please everyone...important thing is that i like em....i get a lot of compliments with them...i think they look much better than stock....
I will take some picks of the footwells when i get a chance..
they were very easy to install....they are wired into the park lights..the important thing is to ground them out..and just use some tie raps to put them up...only took me 20-30 min very easy....

Same gains / exact design as the Comptech's / quality hasn't been an issue with mine (but if there ever is there is a lifetime warranty)/ I personally don't have any resonance / WAY CHEAPER

you can take that money that you save and drop it into your lowering springs, etc. But its up to you. Just my opinion.

i got it from this site...was 185 US around 280 with shipping and exchange...still was the cheapest ....and i got it fairly quick.....what part of Canada are you from and when did you get your A-spec??


if you are planning to install it yourself there are some DIY instructions on this site or just PM me and i will help....the site says to take of the front nose but you can do it easily without doing that ...simply by removing a small splashguard underneath the driver side of the car ....let me know how you make out....

Thumbs up AEM cold air

I luv the way my ceramic AEM cold air intake looks in the engine bay of my car. This is my one and only mod and I am very happy with it.

not 100% true ...

Hey,

Just like in the States ... tinting laws vary from province to province. Maybe out east it's a no-no to tint the front passenger windows.

In the middle (eg Ontario) -- it's OK to tint the windows in the front ... I think 35% is "legal" but I've got 20% all around. Tinting is not a big deal down here in Windsor, ON (across the river from Detroit, MI) but up in Toronto ... police will stop you for having blue turn lights, tints, anything they think is remotely illegal. Good thing they don't bother non-Civics, etc ... never had a problem taking my car up to Toronto.

My $0.02 ...

Sorry to say, but the STOCK rims are alot better looking than the ones you replaced them with. I guess what matters is if you're happy with them, then keep them on, but I'm sure you could have a better choice/selection (heck, you could sell those koings and use the money for something "cooler" looking).

Still, the car looks sharp, no matter what...

Those wheels make me want to vomit! I would definitely leave the stock wheels on for those duds.

I have Imagines on my TL and they look really good...my suggestion as far as rims go--the Theorys would look good if they were bigger...for a car as big as ours, 18" minumum

I don't know if this attachment will work but hopefully it does. If not, for an older pic of my car check out streetcreations.net (under members, then "Frank")

Let me know which one works and what you think...
