Lookin gooood!!!!

I bought my LX back in 11/05 from Howdy Honda.

Did you get a good deal on yours?

**NitrousG35** · 07-08-2007, 05:30 PM

Oh my. Your FBP is gorgeous. Nice detailing job! Pics look great as well. I love the HFP kit on yours. I might have to do it to mine as well:

It wasn't an amazing deal but good enough for me. I have been wanting a SI since 99 when I got stuck with an EX

24k OTD with the front and rear lip and window tint. They had to bring the car from Houston so I didn't have much leverage because I was trying to hit the July 5th deadline on the 4.9% apr.

The front and rear lip make the car go from sedan so SPORTS Sedan!

I would recommend the lip kit personally I love it. Cant beat FBP its such a beautiful color.

Looks clean and would look alot better without that front tag on there! I can't tell the windows are tinted though. What percent tint do you have on them?

Im gonna take the tag off I think. The tint % is 35 its just at an odd angle, here is another pic.

car looks good, but some clay/QD and Prima Hydro would net you better
results in fraction of the time. :)

Is it as durable as a good wax? I wanted to give it a good coating since the weather has been so crappy here lately.

He said it lasts longer than meguiars nxt.... about a month. I use it every wash (every 2 weeks) so i dont get to test if it really lasts a month.

***xxbodkinxx*** · 07-08-2007, 09:00 PM

Im gonna have to check that out for sure. It directions seem easy enough.

Also when I take the front plate off will I have a hole in my bumper?

Tell me what you think?

OP, just as an aside, NXT has some mild cleaning abilities. As a result it will strip any previously applied product. Two coats isn't such as bad idea as it ensures coverage but I'd say that 3 is definitely overkill.

BLU BY U · 07-08-2007, 09:56 PM

its a shame you picked such an ugly color for your si.

Dayten · 07-09-2007, 11:06 AM

Your car looks great. I am also thinking about adding the HFP Lip Kit. So you did not get the side lip kit installed? It appears that the side lip kit is not needed. Very nice clean lines.

Hopefully your dealer did not install the third screw to secure your front plates. I was fortunate that my dealer only installed the two screws to secure my plates.

**truflip** · 07-09-2007, 04:23 PM

very nice job! how long does it stay like that for? jk jk :) good job again !

andywho · 07-09-2007, 04:25 PM

looks clean if it wasn't going to rain this week i would clay bar my car. but then again the weather is 91 i'll wait for it to cool off

**Silver8th** · 07-09-2007, 05:41 PM

You shouldn't have a hole when you remove the front tag unless the dealer is stupid and drilled a hole. Mine was held on by 2 screws that mount to the front grill.

Someone on Ebay has the stickers and another seller on there has the cling that you can remove and put somewhere else.
