Its also got Buddy club race header, RBC, Kpro, apexi world sport, stage 4 clutch (lol) and Buddy Club N+ coilovers. All for 8200 
Ohh and headlights are OEM Type R
The headlights, exhaust, clutch, and stock (low) type s wing will all be for sale.
For POR you can either brush, roll, or spray it on. Even spraying it it doesnt need to be thinned or anything just lay it on. Just make sure the surface is nice and rough or else you will have to lots of coats to get it to cover.

Man thats a good buy! N+ is what I have but I'm not really a fan of them, you guys keeping those?
Thanks for the info on POR
, my bumper support has some rust spots on it aswell that I should probably take care of.

Re: SHG is back! Easy's EP3 goes under the knife...
can't wait to see the ep with the new wing on...
did you ever get the sideskirts that you were looking for? Were you looking for oem or jdm...
I'm kinda surprised that you chose to go with the moog vs the jdm wing...I would have thought that you would have preferred the jdm wing since it looks more oem...

Also I think the more agressive Mugen wing will even out the look with the beefy front end. I test fitted it today and its going to need alot of messaging since its a replica, and until it fits like OEM I wont put it on.
Im still looking for the sideskirts, I want the oem 04-05's

Yeah I was on the fence about it but one thing i really dislike about the HFP/CTR wing is that it looks like batman from behind lol.

Re: SHG is back! Easy's EP3 goes under the knife...
Just came across this POR rust prevention coating that you have been using. Is this something that easy to apply even for a noob? I don't have a spray gun and will only be able to do this most likely if it can be brushed on. Have you seen any difference in the finish when its brushed on as opposed to sprayed on? What does the prep work entail?
tnx...I'm thinking about doing this to the ep's wheel wells for starters
EDIT: the gray that you use looks like a nice color...
I found this place that sells them with the degreaser, metal prep

I was reading that you are supposed to also use a topcoat over the POR so do you do that as well? Any suggestions of what topcoat to use?

Topcoating is not required for areas not exposed to sunlight.

Re: SHG is back! Easy's EP3 goes under the knife...
Hey guys, finally got a chance to upload pics of the new workbench and garage setup! The butcher block top was my great grandfathers, my dad brought it up for me last time he visited so I was pretty excited to build this thing.
All the wood is pressure treated so it should last a long time!
4x4 legs and top braces going together...
.
.
Center brace/shelf brace....
.
.
More shelf bracing
.
.
.
.
First class fitment
.
.
And all set up with the new tool box

That is a really nice work bench. That butcher block sets it off perfectly, you couldn't buy anything that cool.

Re: SHG is back! Easy's EP3 goes under the knife...
it is.. the tubing would have to be a foot longer but then it'd be going above the exhaust.. Im sure you could hold it down somewhere on the firewall!
my mugen intake is very comparable to theyre set up tooo! Check out the rerouted intake tube!
