You never stop. I figured something was in the works as you've been rather quiet lately. The new diffuser looks great. What is Aaron replacing it with?
Lego's...loved those as a kid. I would build things per the instructions and keep them for about a week, then tear them up and build custom stuff. I used to build some of the coolest cars/vehicles.

Bro lego's... I was the kid in elementary school who used to pocket them... Then they'd end up in the school yard of course in my hands in full pursuit of a girl I'd hit with them

Buy a Lego set! You'll get hooked again.
I've got many ideas for Lego creation running through my head. Ideas include: F1 track and grand stands with pits, Spoon Sports shop in Japan, Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory, ...
Patience is virtue.
I'll have some up. Maybe tonight?!?

man i love the acura calipers. how much did you get them for?
Tow hook lending a helping hand. Jon came by to check out the action.
Painted the radiator support bars blue with Duplicolor metalcast.
3 WDPs, a 4th one was behind the camera...Jim's WDP-S.
CT Supercharger and Royce Han manifold removed.
Looks like a snakes den.
Leaning towards painting it flat black.
Bumper beam reinstalled.
Decided to remove the valve cover for paint.
This is the definition of a half ass paint job hehe.
Few coats of Duplicolor yellow engine enamel.
Valve cover bolts.
Royce Han polished manifold. Even when dirty it looks glorious!
Spoon radiator stay and custom bolts by me.
That's all for now folks!

I'm not exactly sure how this thread escaped me...
Eric, you're a pioneer. I love most of what you've done because you go outside the box and do what you want to. Your use of contrasting colors/textures is awesome.

As for your project, the conversion is not for the faint of heart or the light of wallet; your best bet would be to sell your 2007 Type-S and put the proceeds of the sale toward buying a 2007-2008 Type-S 6MT; doing so will be faster, cheaper, and will result in a more reliable/fully functioning car.
If you insist on trying this, then you're going to need to find a wrecked Type-S 6MT and buy it complete; then you're going to need to swap the transmission, the wiring harnesses, the clutch hydraulics and assemblies, the shifter linkages, and the console stuff. In addition, you're going to need to fab up the mount points for all of the above plus the third transmission mount point which doesn't exist in your car. Even with all of that, the odds of 100% success are pretty slim; things like the power seats and mirrors and dashboard displays will most likely be problematic.
If you search through this forum, you will more than likely discover numerous threads regarding this type of conversion; at last count there were only two successful (relatively speaking) conversions, and I believe only one which got everything working. Others have run up many thousands of dollars of expense and still no running car. The fact is, this is a complex car and Honda/Acura did a number of things which were expressly unique to the 6MT models beyond just imbuing them with a clutch pedal and "H" pattern shifter.
