just hit 1k miles on my way to work today, and figured this is the day for everything to start...



H&R's


some plans for tomorrow, here is a tiny taste


will post more pics once i get a chance to take some nice ones..


some plans for the future: intake, exhaust, DRL's, fog's.. (suggestions and opinions are always welcome)

 

Ahh, Fathom Blue, I love it! Can't wait to see the pics w/ the wheels installed. Keep the updates coming.

 

all done

 

Looking great!!

 

Oh snap, I didn't realize they were HFP rims from the close-up.

VERY nice!

 

Wow! I'm pretty indifferent to aftermarket rims, but those look SHARP.

 

Thanks!
You work at Oak Tree, right?



Because they aren't really "aftermarket"

 

I do
Do you come around often. I like to hide away from customers in the back where it is easier to delegate responsibilities. haha
Let me know if you come by, Id love to check out your ILX if you do.

 

I've been there only a few times because I was told you guys only have a gun and shotgun ranges, no rifle, and since I live in NoHo the Burbank range is a lot closer. So I just got a membership at Angeles because of the rifle range..

 

Awww no way. Maybe you got some old info.

We've got everything.
Our main facility is Shotgun which has sporting clays, trap, and skeet.
To the right we have our steel and paper pistol range, proshop, and reloading center.
To the left we have our rifle range where you can shoot rifles and tactical shotguns with barrels too short for skeet. And a brand new archery range and archery proshop.

I have weeks off but let me know if you're ever here during the week.

 

My days off are monday & tuesday..so thats pretty much the only days that I get to go. What are the hours there?

 

Monday and Tuesday is only 10-5 and only pistol range is open.

Everything else is open Wed-Sun

 

I was wondering how those wheels would look, a guy was selling his set for cheap on craigslist. That would look whack on my car's color scheme tho…

 

Looks good.

 

Sure enough, I just learned what "HFP" stands for, LOL.

 

what do you guys think I should do regarding the center cap..leave it as is, or paint it to match the wheel?

 

You can try painting it to match the wheel.... does HFP make center caps? If so Id buy those.

 

They do, and I have them. But they are Honda not Acura.

 

Wheels look great. Didn't like them in the first pic, think it was just the angle. I would leave the Acura logo on the wheels. Matches other accents on the car. Looking good too with the H&R's. Wheel size/spec? Are those the 18's and are they 7.5 or wider? Trying to estimate wheelgap and flushness /fitment stuff for selfish reasons LOL.

 

Very nice.

 

Wheels are 18x7
Tires are BFGoodridge G-Force Sport Comp-2
225/40ZR18

 

Nice - will probably be sitting lower in a couple weeks when the springs "settle". Those 18 inch wheels fill up the fender gaps pretty well.

 

looking good. jealous of your color though haha

 

Me too. Have wished I got Fathom since day 1.

 

small update:

Before


After

 

What do you guys think for the next project:

a) cross drilled/slotted brake rotors
or
b) cat-back
(If cat-back, I was thinking either DCSports because they make one for the ILX 2.4 and it keeps the stock look of a hidden exhaust or a Borla for the Civic SI sedan - I would just have to bend at the tip for it to fit properly. The price difference is about $100)

Your thoughts..

 

Clean!!!!!!!

 

thanks!!

 

Fathom Blue & HFP all day.

 

Damn, looking good guys! Jealous you got to meet up.

That Fathom does look amazing w/ HFP 18's.

 

awesome pic!

 

installed OBX-R muffler with a resonator delete.. let me know what you guys think........

 

 

braaaaa braaaaaaaaaaa
