Another small update, bought a new shift **** frome TWMPerformance and it arrived today. I like the OEM one but in the winter it gets ice cold and in the summer it's a scorcher. And it's a bit too small for my hads need something I can grip and rip

Wanted something cheap as well not too into paying 200 for a mugen yes I know there is a Spoon **** but way too small for me.

Anyway on to some pics (sorry for dirty hands just got off work)




It is height adjustable so that's cool. Not too sure how I feel on the weight damn thing feels like a feather. Really like how it look's tho will update with how I like it after a month or so.

On another not also got some seat covers don't wanna get any juices from the females when I hit da vtec

Also bought some weathertech floor mats these things are great

Nice car to start with man. I had a 07 fg2. Great car and a blast to drive but hated life any time I had to work on it. Just my 2 cents but the first two mods I would do is flash pro and a hasport rear mount. Flashpro even when the car is bone stock makes it wayyyy better to drive. Also I had St coilovers on my car and loved them! The only other ones in that price range that are as good of quality would be D2s. Good luck with the build bro.

Yea doing anything under the hood is terrible 0 space. I think the first big mod will be a flashpro. Thanks for your input

But serious that tax return was good lol had to order from collegehills I called a few of the local Honda dealerships around and no one had Dyno Blue Pearl. One dealership told me that once they are out they aren't making more they will sale black only ready for paint. Don't know if true but I didn't want to risk it and bought the back lip as well.
