Wink AznKirby's not-so-stock FR-S Monogram. Bunny content inside!

Current:


Bought my car in April 2014, so I figured it was time I make a show-off/progress thread.

I started off with a 2005 Acura RSX Type-S that served me well for about 5 years


But then it was off to RWD! 2014 FR-S Monogram Whiteout in the driveway with my old car.


Then, some progress over the first summer I had the FR-S:

Here's the car in the dealership. All panels stickers and interior wrappers still intact


One of the first things I did was put on this front lip


Unfortunately, I hit a dip on the highway and lost it a few weeks later.

Then came then VIS Racing trunk, in preparation for future plans.
Not sure if I'll keep it CF or have it painted. Still reppin' CRSX, ya know.


With the help of a friend, we put on the rear diffuser



In the picture above, we can see my custom made exhaust by A&R Padua Motorsports, in Toronto.



The boxer engine does sound like a tractor lol. Now my exhaust is loud enough that I don't hear the bad engine sound anymore

And lastly, a few of us got together for an end-of-season cruise


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Got myself some Valenti tail lights in the fall because I really hated the Altezza look on the OEM ones.



Then I put my car into storage, because winters up here in Montreal are ROUGH.
Winter updates, though. Can't stop the hustle!




Sleeping in storage...


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Then, spring time came around!
Came out of storage a few months ago. It's gonna be a good year. Leggo!


Put on my coilovers. I don't have a side shot yet .. I don't know why.





Got myself a shift knob. Disregard the ricer sticker; it was done for the lulz.


For those wondering about the L/R in the centre console: it's just a little bit of fnf fun Thanks @yospeed !


Last but not least, big things are incoming this year. Stay tuned!


Follow me on IG @monKehC as I'll start posting up more updates there as well.

Ready? Let's go!

Sweet. But... "Almost stock"? My mods consist of chrome licence plate frames.

Thanks guys!
@Tcoat You'll soon see that the title is ironic. Big things are on the way!
@swarb I'm not telling what wheels yet. Hehe.
I can show you this though!

Ha I didn't actually catch the quotation marks around stock until after I posted. Reading through it thinking what the hell does he mean almost stock.
Look forward to the changes.
Mine will probably stay the way it is because every time I decide on a change I see something new and change my mind. I have settled on 28 different sets of rims so far.

I really need to finish this project in time for school so I can stop thinking about it. Sigh.
