Installed the Ingalls Stiffy and wanted to launch the car a few times, so I figured I'd video it. Both roads are non-residental with zero traffic. Enjoy.

You're 16 and already selling your first car? 
I sold a car at 16 but that was a hand-me-down Cavalier and its not even sold yet.

So the other morning my co-worker told me there was a red Honda parked next to my Accord when he pulled in. I was like what kind of Honda? He said it was the same model as mine. Hmmmmm. He's not a huge car guy so I figured it was probably a Civic or something.
So when we left for lunch I saw a red 7th gen V6 coupe parked next to mine. It was so weird because I didn't see my car behind it at first so I had forgot about what he had told me earlier lol. So after we got back from lunch I figured it'd be fun to shoot some quick photos. Unfortunately the other one is pulled up further to the curb than mine. I considered pulling up even but I don't think I would have been able to clear the curb since I'm slammed (kidding of course, Pro-Kits lol). Still pretty interesting comparing them next to each other.
I guess the story is it's a co-workers friend's car that she borrowed for the day. Anywho, enjoy.

Tanks! Yeah, I agree, that's why I changed them. They remind me more of my '03 CL-S taillights. I like the clear/smoked area better than all red.

The rear end of your car looks so much cleaner than the other. I like the de-badged, uncluttered look.

Your car really is clean indeed!
Have you thought of installing some fogs with maybe some yellow light bulbs?

I have thought about the fogs, but I'm still undecided on them. The OEM ones are way overpriced and I've heard the eBay ones are very poor quality, so I've hesitated making the move. I think they would look really good though.

SuperTrooper, what have you done to your headlights? I remember you had DEPO headlights, but I noticed you also have HID low-beams. 6000k? Did you need a relay harness? How much did it run you?

Yep, HIDs, but 5000k, not 6000k. You don't technically "need" a fused relay, but it's a very good idea to use one on a car not originally designed for HIDs due to the change in voltage. IIRC the Xentec HID kit was about $70 and the fused relay wiring harness was around $20 (both off of eBay), so under $100 total. The DEPOs were the most expensive part. The cheapest part, yet the most important IMO, was the screwdriver I bought from Home Depot to adjust the aim on the headlights so I'm not blinding oncoming traffic. Very very important if you put HIDs into reflector housings.

SuperTrooper, have you considered a lip spoiler?

Thank you, sir!
Yep, considered it, and put my foot down and said the Sportlines were the last mod I'm doing to this car. Time to enjoy it and not have to wonder what's next. I've never really been into lips or body kits anyway, so it was an easy decision.

Lol I think you're right. A lot of people have been asking me if I'm going to get a front lip, so that's why I assumed he was talking about that. I do actually kinda like the rear lip spoiler, but it's not something I have to have. Yeah, I know all too well about the modding thing. Even after I wrote that I was thinking, well, maybe fog lights some day, or an iPod connector. You're right, it doesn't ever stop lol. I remember when I first got the car I kept saying only an intake, that's it, no exhaust, no rims, etc. That lasted all of about a month.

Primary reason I'm not modding my car anytime soon. However, if I get into university on scholarship or something, and there's some extra cash laying around...
