Dan's Whiteout FR-S Slow Build

[xXDeathMaliCeXx]

Went to Import Alliance yesterday, ended up picking up a White Grip Royal wheel and horn button. Getting a Works Bell hub and NRG V2.5 quick release after my next paycheck hits. Also got my AUS VSC/TC buttons in the mail and shifter trim ring. Waiting on YoSpeed's door sills and center console plaque.

What do you guys think about the diffuser, spats, and mudflaps..I'm conflicted, but I like it.

Edited all pictures to be 640x480 MAX size. Some pictures are links, if you click them it will open a new tab with the super high resolution version.

Nice looking car! A local from Dayton, do you make it out to the SIP meets ever? I haven't made it out to a meet in quite a while. I need to get a car done up and start hitting the meet scene up again.

I wanna say they are HTAuto rear spats. About $90, I think? They don't really fit with my rear mudflaps since there is too much relying on one plug hole, but I made it work. I will take a few more pictures when I get home from work today.

Thanks! Always nice to meet some more locals on here! Yeah I occasionally go out to that meet, haven't been out in a couple weeks though. The SIP meets are really nice, last time I went a civic EG hatch got pulled over in the parking lot for taking off out of the meet

I've really been wanting to set up some kind of Cars & Coffee event for Sunday mornings in the Dayton area for a while. It'd be nice to get to meet a lot of the people in the area.

Did a couple test runs of samples for the video montage me and my friend are putting together soon. Finally got a decent picture to use for my avatar. Hopefully a shoot is coming up soon, and might include my old civic that I'm getting back

Hey bro can you do us a favor? Take HD pictures of the htautos rear spat and rally armor. I wanna see how it looks side views and different angles..especially show me what hole plug the spat and rally rely on so I can do what you did

Will do! I didn't have time yesterday, so I will try and do it today. The plugs that I used are actually inserts for drywall screws, in addition to those plugs I used some 3M double sided tape right near that hole to make sure it wouldn't come loose.

ahhh okay gotcha

I tried to get the best pictures I could. Click on the images and it will take you to a higher quality picture.











You can see in the pictures how the metal bracket that the Rally Armor mudflap uses and all the rest of the plastic that the clip has to go through with the bumper, spat, and fender well that the OEM clip just won't cut it. I went to the autoparts store to see if I could find just a longer body panel clip, but no luck. So I ended up using a drywall sleeve and 3M double sided tape to secure it there. It's been on there for a while now and is still really tight. Excuse the car, it needs washed.

Picked up a set of super cheap wheels and tires from my friend, $40 for two Drag DR-09's with tires. I got lazy with the plasti-dip and it looks really bad, but they will only be used for autox days anyway so who cares. I've been starting to really consider a set of XXR 527's in 18x8.75 +35 for my daily wheel set up. I'd be getting them powder coated pearl white though

Picked up a set of Zeta visors a couple weeks back and I was debating on paint matching them before putting them on. But after I got to thinking about how flimsy they are I was a little concerned with spending money on painting them and then the paint cracking when I was installing them. So after giving my car a much needed wash yesterday evening I decided to throw them on. They seem a little useless, but I like the way they look.

Just finished making some orders. I got the Diode Dynamics FRS Foglight kit with 3000k HID's and the Nameless 2.5" track pipe. They should both be here before I leave for my trip to the Rod Run in Tennessee, so hopefully they'll be installed once I get down and settle in for the weekend. I'll make sure to post some pictures up when I get them installed. Here's some stock photo previews:





I also forgot to mention that I got my Anarchy Motive shift knob yesterday and WOW! What a change in shifting feel even before my Motul Gear 300 and Perrin/Whiteline shifter bushings.

DAYTONNN!
Hahaha. Ever been down around Smithville/Woodman? I work around there and live in Centerville!

Your car looks fantastic! It really stands out. You've got tons of mods already! I wish I could do that lol. All I've got so far is a cold air intake and a 5-Axis Body kit.

Also, loving the JDM conversion.

Thanks man! Yeah I'm down around Woodman all the time! Do you go to any of the meets around here? Tuesday on Miller Lane and the Wednesday meets by the Dayton Mall?

Well you've got a cold air intake so that's a little further than me the only actual performance mod I've got is a muffler delete. It's more for the sound than performance, but I love how it sounds.
