Before the boo boo:










(After fresh detail by me)













Lady decides to reverse into me at the Post Office:





Her damage:







Where I left off:

JRSC, 3.0" pulley, E85, DW1300 injectors, Q300, PLM header, 3.5" intake, and of course Vit tuned.








First tank







Got my check and started to order parts:

And my luck continues....This doesn't look like a 2009+ Civic front bumper...




They sent me 2010+ Honda Accord bumper




Scrapped the whole idea and just kept the 07 front, easier to sell when time comes anyways...










MercRacing Stage 2 Aftercooler FINALLY shows up after 6 months:

It's FOR SALE btw http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/force...ooler-kit.html







Lame meet, just took pics of our cars













Decided to try the retrofit myself:

Aligning the projector...


Waiting...


Done.






New pair of 235/40 Star Specs:



No bueno






Getting the front end painted and doors blended:




Back from paint:

Whole front end preped/painted, and doors blended. Everything came out PERFECT. Paint matches 99.99% dead on. He even fixed the scuffs/scratches on the bottom of my lip and put bolts on the bottom of the bumper instead of my zip ties lol. Steve's Automotive Refinish FTW!






I painted breather tank wrinkle black:

Before:


Prepped:


Done:

Perfect. It was simple aligning them. I just loosen the lock ring and turned the projector to where I needed to make my adjustments before sealing it up.

I see, did you use a heating gun to reseal it? btw the car's clean and are they mini h1's?

Your car looks sick man. What are your wheel specs and suspension set up. I have a set of 17x8.5 +22 on tein s techs. I want to do the same tire and size but I don't want to rub. And also not interested in doing any fender work either.

[philly_1191]

i hate when awesome 5 start builds move on to other cars lol -.-

aftercooler arriving time is crazy!

[LayLow]

17x9 +30 on buddy club n+. Im sure its possible without fender work but you're goin to have to run a ton of negative camber.

[snizzletoff]

Glad to see a new build thread!

I see that it looks like you replaced all of the damaged parts yourself, did you not claim the accident? (i can understand if you don't wanna get into this discussion)
