Mainly replacing all the "A" stuff for "H" stuff and adding back on all the parts the rest of the world got that we did not. Plus the LEDs, sills, visors, wheels...
It just seems like you have more time and capital to rip through the changes and I've gotten a bit wishy-washy on some things I was thinking about (visors, wheels).
Car looks really good. I'll be watching intently.
Oh, and great job on the bi-xenon harness! That is awesome.
lol I try to find deals here and there in order to get my parts. If I had funds I would have had coilovers by now lol. I'm 4x4-ing it. Thanks! I try to make everything as simple as possible whether it's harnesses or installs. I have a few projects coming up so "stay tune"

Hi! Thank you! Yes they are the power folding mirrors. I can get them if interested. The price is shocking though. I can get the motors, which would save a lot more money. I haven't replaced the switch yet, I am working on a custom modification on the mirrors before installing them. Will be unveiled in a couple of weeks

Like what Kosta said lol. There really isn't a plus or minus from going Honda parts. essentially theyre all the same parts. and with what xtcnrice said, the acura grille is hideous. It seems like usdm gets the bottom of the barrel on everything.
Nice! How much do you sell these for? And also how much did the plastic underbody covers cost you? Mine are all chewed up from driving slammed
The underbody cover costed me about $130 shipped. I went on delray acura website to purchase it. My local dealership quoted me $320... and that is WITH my business account discount... I told them I'll get back to them.. lmao.
do all the OEM bulbs fit in the new headlight? And do you plan on doing a DIY on the headlight assembly, I know you said its plug and play but for those who are not so inclined in the modding world would probably struggle lol.
Sweet build so far! And local too! Did I hear someone mention local TSX meet?
Thanks! There was a cu2 squad meet a few weeks ago. I couldn't make it at the time. There's going to be a big one in march. I think 19th? all tsx welcome.

the new headlight comes with bulbs except HID. you swap over your existing hid ballast, wires, and bulbs to the new headlight. the headlight itself isn't plug and play. you need a harness which I have that is plug and play. my harness is color coded so you can't go wrong with the install I also have an instruction manual that comes with every harness

Will find out info and see what I'm up to that day
Good morning Azine! Sorry I have been completely out of here for awhile. Work has been too hectic and I've been on a heavy grind. To catch up, I've went mugen, installed spirior tails, picked up a wagon for the wife, added bixenons to that along with a splitter. Got rear ended!!! going jdm rear now...started doing live stream (fb) on install tutorials, went to Eibach, which was a huge success... We are thinking about going to SEMA again. Hopefully some of the projects will be ready in time for show. Check out some of the pics (Photo Credits: SIN Photography for a lot of great shots from Eibach... #SINPHOTO)
lol thanks )). Wife isnt much of an exhaust person. she would be too annoyed driving around with a loud car though. she may drive like a speed racer but she doesnt want to sound like one.. :/
gonna get the mugen for the wifey too? dibs on one of your iceboxes if you part out!
no... hahaha... she going to go with the modulo route. I convinced her to. we can swap fronts whenever she wants since botch cars are CBP. icebox for sale... $4,500.

Thank you! I'll have more time to socialize soon... we are expanding and getting more help so I can focus more on the custom size vs custom and parts and services.

I look forward to picking up the headlights/taillights from you in the future.
We're mainly an online store. The address is my PO Box that receives parts from clients for me to work on their stuff. Safer to have client's packages go there since I'm not always home to receive and I'm not looking to have anyone's packages stolen. Hit me up whenever you have questions, I will be glad to answer them. emails usually get the quickest response, but I will try to be on azine more often than before
I live in Louisiana. I was referencing your online store. Anyways, thanks for the info
Ohhhh lol. I have more items I just haven't had a chance to list them yet so if there's any items you are looking for let me know and I'll try to find it.
Special power folding mirrors will be installed soon. Haven't had a chance to do that yet due to all the orders to be filled and prepping cars for Eibach. What's the big deal you can? They're just pfm... well mines are modified to do more. stay tuned!

so awesome... I was in Montreal this past weekend and I had to manually fold my mirrors in after parallel parking cuz the streets were so narrow. Wish I had the money for all your goodies man.. keep up the good work. If one day I run into a lump sum of money, I know where a lot of it will go

lol... just start throwing what change you have each day my way )))) Hoping to get a few projects completed in time for sema.... 6 months away but still a ton of work
Scale of 1-10 with 10 being extremely difficult, I'd say a 5. Only reason it's a 5 in my book is because not everyone will have a rivet tool. You need to drill out existing rivets, take off old cover, put new one on, then new rivets.
Forgive my ignorance... Would anyone be able to explain how the bi-xenons work? Is it two bulbs? What is the purpose of 'cornering lights'? Does Kman's custom harness make the DRL work?
Bixenons work by integrating high beam and low beam into one lens housing. There is a "shield" that controls the light output. when highbeam is engaged, the shield moves and allows more light to project.
Cornering lights work by lighting up the corners/lanes that we are signaling to turn to.
With bixenon headlights, the drl is eliminated.

Thanks!!! There's another Eibach meet coming soon... anyone going?
some updates... been working on the wagon a bit. JDM rear bumper, also got a cf lower trim I need to install on there. did a power folding mirror install with integrated cameras live on fb a few weeks ago. Wife's tire had a nail issue. Still has a slow leak so I swap wheels with her. Was going to put new tires onto my mugen wheels but now she wants a new set of wheels... lol sigh, can't ever win. not even once.
On the wagon... That CF lower piece: will it fit on the USDM wagon bumper or only the JDM?
I think I know that piece (have it bookmarked somewhere) but hesitated on tracking one down because I wasn't 100% on USDM fitment (and I actually like the US bumper so don't want to change).
