06cmv6 (Matt) '08 ASM Type S progress thread
I figured I would start a thread of my own and add my pics as my mods will surely continue....i love this car i just wish i would have searched for a 6mt instead but then again more than likely it would have had more miles

A few days after i bought the car




a month and a half later i got the a-spec installed





I'm definitely dropping it next...probably on megan coilovers

Matt.

Damn you bought it with only 9600 miles? Crazy.

A-Spec kit looks dope and I look forward to seeing it dropped

^Many members get irritated when window tint installers don't tint behind that piece of weather stripping in the rear quarter panel. You installer didn't; neither did mine or many other members'. I barely even notice the difference.

Damn that is some LOW miles!
I am still always amazed by how awsome a car looks when you have the before and after of the A-Spec Kit. Really makes the car look sooo much better!

Got my tein ss installed last night...front went in no problem but the back was more time consuming...first off the back seats dont fold down....gay...had to call brad (member on here) who I bought them from ab how he went about getting the seats down....under the headrest there is a section where the leather is in two sections...behind that and through all the cushion at the top part of the seat was a bolt where the seats are held into place....why couldn't they just install a key hole like the accord where they release the back seat down? Dumb engineering....anyways the ingalls rear camber kit was installed also and I will be getting a kit for the front and some wheel spacers for now...thanks again Brian (nexson) for all your help bud
