Yes they were custom. I ran the part numbers off the RL and MDX and the A's were different but the SHawd emblem was the same. I ended up buying all new emblems and got them done. Compliments the car perfectly.

Been awhile for me too, good to see you are still here.
Any new project in the works ?
I am at 20K miles on mine, just so easy to jump in the Winter beater all year round

Great grand kids !! I was thinking of Turbo charging her and cruising in my Senior years

Actually, I work 8 Kms from home and have a few cars to choose from.
There is still the Original windshield washer fluid in the reservoir that the car came with from the Dealership.

I have some projects in mind but I’ve been swamped with school. Finishing up my bachelors degree this quarter. Also been going on a lot of vacations which has been eating up spare funds. I’ll get back to it but like you mentioned I have a few cars to choose from too so I’m hoping to drive it a little more once we get some sunshine. Whenever that is haha.

haha I thought about that the other day. At my rate, if I have kids they will be able to take it off my hands and still be under 100k miles.

Did you paint your front grill or wrap it? I read on a thread that someone here paints them and sells them and you send your grill back to them. By any chance would you know who does it?

Hi,

My grill was painted by a buddy of mine and then wrapped with a clear bra to protect it from rock chips. I don’t remember exactly who does the swap for painted grills but it could be endlessrpm.com. Any auto body shop can paint the shield.

Recent Update

Hi Acurazine,

I havent been active on here but felt it was a good time for an update. I still own Shawdy and have yet to hit 40k miles. I am almost done with the GerzyBear fuel system upgrade to support E85 paired with the supercharger. I will have to check back once I’m done with my e-tune. Derek at IMW has offered to finalize my tuning via remote dyno and will update my thread once I get numbers.

Another owner (5AT) just put down 490whp and 397wtq at 10psi. I’m hoping to break 500awhp but we shall see.

Done Tuning

Welp, car is finally done being tuned. It squats. Next mod is electrical AC compressor since the oem was deleted via the supercharger. I have the compressor already, just need to source the remaining components.




In the mean time, giving the wife’s RDX some attention. Going to rebuild these 20” Work VSXX with fresh lips, barrels and proper tire size.

Testing the Waters

After almost 10 1/2 years of ownership. Brand new off the lot until now. I’m going to try and test the waters and see if anyone is interested in Shawdy as is. Love the car, crazy money invested and super low miles. See if anyone wants to pick it up. Won’t be cheap but quality build non the less. Full of regret but accepting it if someone cashes me out.

Then I can focus on my M3 manual V8 build. It’s already coming along but, would be nice to only have one modded vehicle.
