Cool Nice Weather + Type S = Photoshoot

I gave my girls car a good washing today after changing the oil. The weather was perfect so I decided to go out and take some good pictures of her car. Wheels and coil overs are next on the list. Works should be here some time this month hopefully which would make about 3 months of patiently waiting .

I agree-I've wanted to do to my Type S what you've done with yours. But I am not changing my wheels.

The RonJon nose, the Type S badge, the Carbon Fiber steering wheel, the fogs....I love it!



Nice weather...what is that???? We haven't seen that here in Kansas City since I don't know when.

Dope, tell me more about the foglight installation. I've always wanted a RonJon nose-I really love them, but I enjoy my fogs too and didn't want to lose them in the process. I know a couple of other guys have done the foglights with the RonJon nose.

On the back of the RJ bumper inlets where the mesh sits they have two or three threaded bosses built into the bumper. I just slotted the factory fog light bracket where needed to the point I was able to stick two screws through the bracket and thread them into the back of the bosses on the bumper.

Those threaded bosses are actually used to hold the mesh in place. The other way I have see one do which looked really trick is using what I think were Accord fogs and cutting out a oval opening in the mesh and letting the foglight sit on the mesh instead of behind it. That way should not be hard to do at all but my girl likes the look of her fogs behind the mesh.

Once her wheels come in I'm going to change out the mesh to a hexagon pattern to match the plastic insert at the bottom center of the rear bumper and we are going to get it color matched to the centers of her new wheels.
