You paid 450 dollars to have someone spray your car with something thats gonna peel off the first time it gets hit by a stray pebble or goes through the car wash?

With 6-7 coats of dip on it I'm not worried about rocks at all. And I always hand wash my car so car washes are not an issue. look up the actual cost of the pro kits and you'll see there isn't much of a difference in cost.

I finished putting the lip kit on this weekend. I just beat the sun going down so this isn't the best location but the shots still came out alright.

Not bad man. Those projectors?

Thanks. And yeah, I've been slacking though and haven't put any HID's in those.

Looks pretty nice.

It's been a few years since I worked down at the yard but there are great photo spots all over it. Specifically towards the airfield, there is a hangar that is a nice backdrop. It was all abandoned back there around 06' not sure if you can still access it.

I haven't been that far back there, but with all the new companies moving down there I wouldn't be surprised if its fenced off. I'll find out some time next week for sure though

Why do the headlamps always look hazy?

Most of that this time is dirt. Didn't clean the car before I took the pics. I did restore them a couple months ago so they're pretty clear right now, and I may do them again to see if I can get them to look like new.

I finally mounted the Bisi V2 Header and added a little color by painting the intake. Valve cover needs a little TLC next along with new hoses.

Dominick · 10-08-2012, 08:19 AM

That's a sick header!

Protege v2.5 · 10-08-2012, 10:51 AM

Won't that cause an issue with the header being so close to the radiator hose?

downpipe on both of my turbo cars is very close to the rad hose and it's not an issue.

bisimoto headers are notorious for other problems but ive never heard of one melting a radiator hose before so it would be a first

Protege v2.5 · 10-08-2012, 08:54 PM

Figured I'd point it out just in case. Not a Honda guy

99loodisane · 10-08-2012, 08:58 PM

I've already taken care of that issue for now. I need to get new hoses soon, so I'm checking with other guys with the header to see what hose adds more clearance. (Prob any besides stock)
