i have been lazy but since the rain has been not letting up i decided ill do a thread. i purchased the car a few months ago with a good bit of stuff on it already. i wanted a clean platform to build and the price was right so i went for it. i have a stock pile of parts sitting around and i plan on installing mostly all of them at once so if for some reason you are interested check back soon for a large update

bumpers are oem. i really dont like buying any body parts that arent oem honda for that reason. its worth the extra money for bumpers, hoods, ect that fit right. new vsm hood on the way hopefully monday. working out a trade plus some cash locally for one.
