now i'm debating where to get the CT-E icebox =/ I'm also wanting to get P2R TB spacer and maybe a downpipe with it. So if anyone knows who or where to buy from and get a good deal let me knowwww. i've already checked out throwdown, heeltoe, and acuraoflynn. Just seeing where I can get a better package deal.

For the fogs, taking off the bumper will be the easiest way of doing it, but the most time consuming and most hurtful to your car.

You can try simply going from underneath the front bumper, through the plastic lining/cover, but that can be extremely frustrating and tedious as you virtually no room to move your hand around in. It is easier if you have access to a hoist and your car is elevated at like eye level.

What I do when I replace the fog bulbs is detach one side of the bumper at a time..just enough to get my hand in and get to the housing.

Wait till the Ice Box arrive. You need to remove the resonator before you can install the icebox, that requires the removal of the front bumper. Just do it all in one shot.

Yeah i've seen videos where they just went underneath the front bumper and detached one side at a time but i actually want to take the whole bumper out just so i can experience it myself. its going to be tough. it sucks that i dont have a garage too. its been raining lately out here and its too damn cold.

yeah i might as well do that. when removing the resonator do I need to install the L-shaped tube or something to cover the detached parts or is it not necessary?

anyways, got my reverse LEDs today

I like the change. but i think i can go for something brighter!!!!!

Just take your time grasshoppa! Getting that greasy foam filter on to the intake tube will be your biggest challenge.

My P2R TB spacer and P2R downpipe should come in later today. Fedex is being lame and decided to deliver around my area last i guess. Would've had installed them along with the rest. oh well. it should be all installed tomorrow!

Stage 2 is higher watts. I believe Stage 1 is optimal for our cars.

all thanks to you sir. PIAAs did not disappoint. im actually putting on yellow laminx on my fogs tomorrow. i wonder how that'll look! and the photos are point and shoot. never been a good photographer. haha but trying to start since everyone here seems to do photography as a side job. hehe got me the sony nex5 yesterday. imma start out with this.

yep definitely. =) i think i'll do the coils last. im looking at the megan EZ. i just need to research more about them. Im not quite sure what other stuff is necessary with it. like cambers and stuff. anyways, im getting a jdp trunk spoiler next and a roof spoiler and maybe explore some muffler options. we shall see! =)

anyways, here are some night pics of the new lights. liking the yellow so much! thanks again MrOto!

I would put those lamin x on my fog lights just for show lol. I never use my fogs unless necessary, so getting yellow bulbs would be a waste of money, but those yellow lamin x would be nice for aesthetics

the laminx actually dont even diminished the light output. so its a go for me. looks and utility and for the yellow bulbs, i dont think they're a waste the output is way better than stock IMHO

Yeah, but since I rarely use fog lights, it would be a waste to me to spend money on it now, when I rather save that money for stuff like the rising cost of petrol.
