The Return of my R after she got stolen in SoCal...
Well as some of you may not know, my R was stolen about 2 months ago from in front of my apartment.

The car was recovered 4 hours after i had reported it stolen and nothing was gone except the stereo. The car was being driven by a young male black suspect in compton/watts area. The only damages done to my car was a smashed ignition column, a busted rear quarter panel window and a broken VIS carbon lip.
After trying to sell the R for a month or so, I decided getting the R back after it was stolen was a sign from the Honda gods to keep the bitch and this time upgrade every security measure possible.
I always told myself i'd own this R forever, and after reading y0sh's 5 year post, it reminded me i'm rolling up on 5 years as well. Looks like i'm keepin the **** bag after all.

Thanks for the comments on her fella's. The lip i just recieved this week and it was painted blue, so i just took a rattle can and sprayed it flat black until i take it to the shop to have it painted. Yea i'm glad to be keeping the R and i'm looking forward to more SoCal track days with the regulars.
