Things to do......

I'm going to be off all of next week and want some DIY jobs that don't cost much.

I've already cleared the headlights, added shock sensor, fogs light mod. Changed all exterior lighting.

I was thinking of painting calipers, maybe adding another shock sensor in the rear anything else I missed.

Thanks TLS-Sun...

I don't know about debadging. I've thought about it but I bought the Type S so everyone can see that I have one. Now people who have no concept of car would have no idea...

Heres my list...

Painted Calipers
Painted Y-Pipe
Debadge (possibly)

Anything else.....

you can take everything off except the acura logo and the type s, i think that will look pretty good.

Its pretty easy. All it is is connecting 2 exsiting wires. Checks the faq page on this sight.
