So I got off my lazy a$$ and did some work on my car last week. I re-painted all the brake calipers bright red, put in a Cusco lower brace, did the laxan foglight mod and also blacked the fogs and the fog light trim (soft gloss black), got new falken 512's, removed the mid-muffler and changed the oil and added some lucas oil products also.
Thats all for now. will post some pics when I wash it

For you guys who run headers, do you even get hassled when you try to smog or do you swap for OEM ones when its smog time?
I am looking at DC, OBX, or XS Headers, I have heard some people on the forums have had their $100 ebay headers do fine after a few years when using better hardware than the stuff it comes with but I don't want to risk it.
What kind of headers do you guys recommend? I am not too worried about noise as I have Aftermarket resonator, mufflers, and mid muffler delete so its loud anyway

Good luck reaching mine first 
Also, those are 04-05 wheels you are selling, not 06-08. Just making sure that there is no confusion. 17x7 @ 23 lbs. 06 wheels are 17x7 @ 21.5 lbs. Different design.
No, nothing for more than a year. I have also rolled without the front license plate since day 1. Still too lazy to install it. 
Now tinted front door windows @ only 40%...... can anyone help me out with signing off a fix-it ticket? pliiiiiiiz

Putting new shocks/springs on my ride on thursday, I am getting help from a guy who used to work for me who went to Wyotech and has done suspension before, but not on a TL, mostly civics/integras.
I am giving us 5 hours to do this. Think we'll have enough time?
