Talking 2009 Spring Upgrades!!!! Enjoy!
After what felt like the longest Canadian winter, I finally got around to installing some of the parts I collected over the winter.

I wanted to be the first with a JDM/EDM Rear fog on my TL after I saw it installed on one of my friend's 6th Gen Accord, but another member beat me to it. Regardless, the install went smooth and I color matched the housing and bracket to better match my car.

Secondly, I had my OEM Tower bar color matched to the endlinks of my CUSCO Strut Bar.

Enjoy guys!

yea...rear fog idea is good but it seems like a CIVIC mod. I've seen this on a civic.
Other than that it looks clear

Love how you color matched the bracket.

Nice touch and very clean!
Thanks, the color is CUSCO Blue, I took my original Cusco Strut Tower Bar to the paintshop for them to match it for me.

Thanks for the comments about the car guys, I will post up more pics when it stops raining in Toronto.

In terms of the exhaust, yes, Apexi does have that problem with the left side hanging wierd. I am probably going to to have the left hanger rewelded to have them sit even.
