I think there the ebay style. Indicates amber when parking light r off, but when parking lights r on the blink amber and stay white same time. When parking lights and full headlight r one they stay white. 4 ways on amber only. And ill let u kno about the intake in a few minutes, going for a test drive now. Vtec gonna b screaming hopefully

I added these pics to my progress thread, but figured I'd contribute to this thread as well

Finished my grille today, and did the intake resonator delete:











And just a tip for anyone doing the intake resonator delete, instead of trying to twist and turn and get your arm under the bolt through the engine bay, you can go through the wheel well. It's much easier.

What plans are you looking for on exhaust? J pipe, Catback or stage 1,2,3,4? Shoxy131 just did his stage 3 yesterday from the shop that ordered & installed mine earlier this year

To be honest I'm completely clueless about the exhaust system and haven't really read anything about any of the stages or how the jpipe and catback work. So ill have a better answer in a bit haha I'm just basically looking for a deeper growl, since I'm not too focused on additional horsepower. Although it would be nice, my main goal is achieving that aggressive sound

^ Not even $100 if you're not planning on putting an aftermarket resonator.

Around $160 I think.

Btw what's everyone's names? Whenever I get out to the next meet I'd rather know your guys names instead of going by username haha and even referring to you in a thread.
