Wish someone would have cought it...
Seriously though, it's a good thing that this happend so I am forced to open the lights again. Besides the dirty car and crooked bumper, they looked GREAT. I wasn't 100% happy with them. Just little slight differences and things I noticed was:
The headlight amber corners didn't match the bumper amber corners, The paint for the shroud came out a little too dark, and if you look hard enough, the shroud looks a little overcut on the inside. I'll get it right this time. 100% cause I'm not settleing for anything less. And this time I won't be rushed..
BTW Carson, you could post the meet pics if you want. I won't have enough time to realign the bumper or wash for a "finished retrofit" thread before I go to NY Monday. Their not finished anyway.

Haha, BTW... Today it was about 8pm and just got dark so ppl were flashing their lights at me because I didn't have my lights on so I could turn them on. 5 minutes later, I have people flashing their lights at me because I had my lights on and was blinding everyone!
Just disconnected the HIDs and am running the highbeam --> lowbeam mod now.

i think the accord looked better stock but hey that's just me. As for me im redoing my sub box. Rounding the edges counter sinking the screws and filling them in. I have a few days to get stuff done as the cl is broken down waiting on the new alternator. I'm either gonna paint the box white to match the ext or gray to match the int.

Had to buy new airbag screws and the 3 outer trim covers for the steering wheel, so I installed those so I can officially check the steering wheel conversion off my list.
Also my buddy put my alternator and battery wires backwards, so I fixed that, didn't test if yet thank god
Since my big 3 pos wire upgrade is done, I installed my v 6 p grounding kit, pretty straight forward, I got a little confused where you have to make your own grounding point, but I figured it out, I also ran the long ground wire in the front instead of the back because it was easier.
Use of stock grounding point for battery
Instead of removing hoses for grounding point, I used the stock alternator ground point
New grounding point you have to create
Cleaned up my amp wires while I was at it

Yeah, it all looks factory minus the amp wires, those will be dealt with soon enough, it'll all be black like

Cleaned up my wiring on the passenger side of the bay last night, mounted my ballast on that side also finally. I have to rewire the driver side ballast wiring due to a cold solder
Ground wires are done, but can't put battery back in yet because I need to get a bracket fabricated for my rad overflow bottle first, it never ends
Remember, if it ain't custom, it aint the black ack

Well am in the process of deadening my trunk. So far the lid is done. Has 2.5 sheets of cascade v-max and 3 cans of expanding foam. Helps I could tell a noticeable diff in sound output. And not as bad rattling. Had to take the lid off the car to do it. Not 100% finished with the lid yet

My project is getting the 2.2cl road worthy..
- Oil change
- Trans. fluid change
- Cooling system flush
- Distributor
- Plug wires
- Plugs
- Fuel filter
- Air filter, but thinking of V2 as first mod?
- Alignment, possibly with rims (might want to sell)
Any advice would be nice, DIY for the fuel filter would be too.

I got my car on a meter today, and did a 137.8db at 43Hz. I took 2nd in my class and got beat by a dude who had 3kw (I only have ~1200). Unfortunately, I was the quietest guy at the show, but I was also in the lowest class (Street A for those that are interested), so whatever... I'll post a build log in the newly formed Audio section here on the 1st gen CL subforum... Stay posted if you're interested, and I'm working on a new box design/build to try and get up near 140db with only 1200w... Should be a fun challenge, especially with (currently) no deadener and the back seats have to be up since they don't fold down by design...
