Default 01' Arctic Blue Pearl DC5

My new purchase, the DC5 needed a proper clean so got up today at 10am then washed, clayed, polished and waxed, finished about 5pm! been a long day and my arms and back are aching lol! Below are a few of the mods I'm aware of, might be some more goodies hiding under that shiny blue body:

Wedsport wheels SA 90s
Carbon fibre bonnet, mugen rep
Gruppe M
Techno pro Gspec Jasma Raw Titanium exhaust
Feel's radiator
Defi gauges
J's racing engine torque damper
J's racing strut front strut
Cusco rear strut
Eibach progressive springs
Goodridge braided lines
Samco hoses
Teishi gearknob
Aftermarket Rad - has a Feels cap but don't know the actual make of the rad, could possibly be a Feels one, but I don't know.

digicam point and shoot camera, nothing special, let me know what you think - good and bad. I'm going to be changing the bonnet to OEM, the current bonnet fitment is terrible! and refurbishing the wheels in black or might buy another set of wheels altogether. Still thinking whether to keep the car or not, as I have a DC2 as well.

I dig it all of it except the hood. Not that it's cf but the shape and ports. Any plans on changing that or keeping it as is?

Ehh to each his own. Something 99% of people like I may not. or vice versa. Mugen makes some cool parts but I think their RSX line of front ends and hoods are gaudy. I prefer clean oem lines but I guess thats what they are made to do, stand out.

this is almost a contradiction considering the owner of Honda, his son makes mugen...its almost oem in a sense

Look at the Mugen hood on the Ep3. It looks damn close to stock with just two flat side vents. But then look at the spoiler totally different story.

Agree with you, the OEM bonnet looks much cleaner and IMO suits the lines of the car much better. Anyways I've sold this mugen (replica) bonnet and purchased an OEM one.

OEM Type R wheels are next on the list...
