So last month, I shattered my front seibon lip on a steep driveway that seemed to grow a crack that rose from the ground that I was not used to. Owell, the risks of riding low. Soon to put on a brand new lip. Sigh.

This also tore my front bumper off its clips. I think there may be some damage but I haven't inspected further. The driver side side marker popped off because it's bracket broke, had to glue that back on...

Hey david. I don't know lol. As you can see they may poke a little but the camber is set to -2 almost all around, but a little more positive in the front.

Thanks guys. The lip is now replaced. Car is back in good looking condition! have been super busy and haven't been able to drive it a alot. I actually had a huge ordeal with sway bar issues. This was over a 3 week period so ill keep it short.

I first bought a 22mm front Perrin sway bar and 19mm rear sway bar. Once installed the feel was spectacular and can feel a difference right away. But i soon realized on the first hard lock turn i scraped my inner wheel with one of the bends on the front 22mm Perrin Sway bar. This occurred on both sides only on full lock. After trying spacers and alignments it still did not resolve the issue. Soon we decided to compare different brands. We had a 25mm eibach front sway bar and the bend where it had scraped on the Perrin, the Eibach just dodged that bend by a lot! and so in the end I got a thicker front sway bar and no need for spacers.

BIG THANKS to @

really like your roof vinyl. How much did it cost to do and how long did it take? was it difficult? I have a series blue and I'm thinking about adding this as another black accent to my car.

Hi everyone! I haven't posted in a while, been busy with work. Nothing new with my car mechanically. All work has been centered around suspension and of course, aero and aesthetics.

Since last post i have put on a completely new lip $$$ and then i took off the gloss black vinyl and had a gloss carbon installed by Monstrripes down here in SoCal. Mike helped do all of my vinyl work. You can see the new roof WHICH I LOVE BTW. You can also see a picture of the front of the car where he had overlayed my headlights and fogs, nothing new, those were done in previous posts. The car has been great and still low in mileage. I just hit about 30K in miles, I daily accords.

Do you have any shots of the car further back so I can see the whole thing at once?

Thanks!! Looking good...
Really considering wrapping the stache after seeing these pics.

I'm trying to get my hands on a WRB shark fin, maybe we could work something out and I could give you my black 2013 antenna. It's the mini non-shark fin kind though.

All,

its been a long time since getting back to the car and even driving it often. I had moved to a place with no garage and had to keep the car elsewhere. But in the recent months I have made some changes and plan to get back to the forums.

1. installed a Edelbrock SC - would like to talk about this more
2. installed an AP Racing Radi-cal BBK in the front
3. added some bits like a password jdm gurney flap to the spoiler
4. had some more clear bra and vinyl work done

Beautiful car. How are the impressions of the super charger kit?

The kit is awesome and is tuned by delicious. This is a modest increase in power that is useable and not over the top. The car feels even lighter due the added power and seems to be just where i wanted it.
