I don't doubt it, Steven!
I actually found I didn't like all the dust and humidity that gets trapped under the car cover....I'll just keep her washed and waxed!

Me too, J! My Jewish guilt keeps the Type S clean.

Thank you Jake. Honestly, I have to pinch myself sometimes...I mean, I know I got killer deals and spent less than a brand new accord to own both...and I know the blood sweat and tears I've put in over the years. But I couldn't help but think about what a spoiled little bitch I must have looked like taking pictures of both my cars at the local church.

I agree too...and thank you, I really do love them both for different reasons. Taking these pictures also told me something else...I'm glad I went with a different wheel and sold the old Advan from the Silver S2000...I am happy that I have two different and distinct looks that I love a lot now.



Have a great weekend!

They're looking at the driver, not the car

J are you running amber/amber switchbacks with the cleared heads? I'm thinking of trying out an amber theme on mine as I think it really pops with the ABP

Gotcha - kind of wondering if amber/amber would look crappy under the amber diffuser (planning to undertake the headlights and tails maybe next week or the following )

Nothing wrong with amber.....................or the white.

If you're opening them up, I'd just remove the LED strip...too much maintenance. Simple is best!

I still like the look of the LED strips! It's just going to take a day to do it.....now trying to find that day is the hard part.
