Hi everyone. I didn't really care to do this, but I figure it's a community and everyone adds something unique. So here is my TL.
Bought her in 2012. Here she is stock with just a plasti dipped grill..
Me and ma Honda friends.
Swoosh. Because swoosh
First problems.
I am obsessed with plasti-dip. I dip everything not just my car.
I did not like the Rudolph the Red nosed reindeer look.
More dip flair
Holy shit moar dip!
Painted engine bay
Attachment 106907
Went more conserviative. some lady hit my car and her insurance paid out. bought the aspec kit to cover up the scratches instead of painting them.
Attachment 106908
Attachment 106909
Attachment 106910
Some Adobe PS
Attachment 106911
Repainted the rims this time with clear coat gloss.
Attachment 106912
New tag!
Today.
That's it
Switchbacks and LED fogs. These are not the Tritons. These are the towers switchbacks. I'll post a comparison shot tonight.
The LED fogs have a yellow film covering the bulb creating the yellowish white color.

I don't really have any cool pictures but these are the goodies that came in.

Well this is retarded... I thought there would be some noticeable difference.
Well let me tell you, in the daytime you cant see the tower LEDS. It sucks so much that other drivers cant tell if you're turning and accidents are bound to happen.
But these Tritons a super bright even in direct sunlight. Much better than the OEM bulbs. Maybe that's what I should have put a picture of instead.

I want to say OEM, they came with the car. But my parents have an 04 base they bought new, and have always serviced it at the dealer. Theirs is a brighter white side by side, so either mine are aftermarket or 07-08s have different bulbs.

Might want to try one of these, if you can actually see it on the glass on the inside this should be able to take care of it.
If not, it's on your sensor and you'll have to clean it, whether you have it done professionally or by yourself is up to you. I wouldn't trust myself cleaning the sensor lol.

It's 2017, small update to my album.
The night before pulling the motor
Had some help from some mechanic friends getting the motor pulled out. The last owner abused the shit out of this car. So far I've replaced every single gasket, seal, fitting, bearing, mount, wire, sensor, and bolted on part with the exception of the internals. Same for the transmission, including a new clutch and flywheel casing, bearings, etc. To be continued...

nice progress, hopefully with all of your mod you will be near 13s flat, the main issue with our car is traction.
