I was bored. adjusted the drop just a bit on the suspension to get the raked look of the car just right.

For those curious to know, I have HIDs on all three pairs of lights. OEM HID low beams, factory fogs upgraded to HIDs (the ones that look like high beams) and custom installed Accord foglights with HIDs. If I have all three sets on, I can pretty much melt paint off a car in front of me at night :D

Looks great.

I still love your sig:

thanks :)

that sig reminds me to keep my camera-related expenses in check. how many people do you know that has 4 DSLRs, 3 point and shoots and over a dozen lenses and only uses them "part time"? :shake2:

I'm assuming you're required to have a front plate in Cali? Looks real good though, my wife wants a TL but too pricey.

yeah its required.

I had it on the stock location (middle bottom of the bumper) but the plastic clips that hold the plate holder and the license plate arent strong enough, even with locks behind the bumper. one time they fell off when I pressure washed the car.

I bought the plate holder now from a site called RHO-Plate. its pricey, but I didnt have the technical knowledge to build one from scratch. it mounts directly on the frame (through the tow hook location). its pretty strong, you can practically kick it and it wont budge. best part is that the plate doesnt touch the body. it is about an inch and a quarter to an inch and a half off the body.

If i had my way, id go no front plates at all. lol

a tip i got from the challenger guys is for the engine compartment. spray everthing with armorall tire foam. after the foam disapears it is fantastic.

thanks guys! I feel I've come full circle and ended up again with a FWD V6 car. from the 95 Base 3000GT to two Evos and then back to this :)
