Been lurking for a while, and my car is camera shy, but not tonight
















still got a long way to go.
picking up my hks in a few days, and discussing with a friend of mines to figure out a way to custom fit the SKP front lip on my car. Also need my car dropped lower.

Nice Honda Inspire!

How did you get the exact position for mounting the 32V badge?

Nice Works....

Me like. But why didn't you take out the amber when you blacked out your headlights? IMO, that would have made it look even better.

^Actually, it is. It's just a JDM emblem. 6 cylinders, 4 valves per cylinder = 32 valves

32V stands for the engine displacement and V6 engine layout. If anyone had the JDM 2.5L V6 you'd have the 25V.

Oh, and nice pics.

I didn't want to make it look too aggressive, wanted the headlight to look as OEM as possible, like if the headlights were made straight from the factory.

I wish the mods would sticky it, my thread has alot of JDM info.

Type-S owners who debadge and goto 32V emblems are actually downgrading, as the 32V is actually the TL-P. The Type-S is the top-of-the-line trim in Japan.
