Thumbs up out with the old, in with the new!

Hey boys and girls,

I thought it was about time I introduced myself... I've been checking out the forum for a while now but haven't really posted much... I just got my FBP FA5 a little less than a month ago and I've been in love ever since... I've added a few little changes but I'm not planning on doing too much to it too soon... I really like the fact that it's a NEW car and I haven't taken it apart... yet...
plus I'm waiting for the HFP lip kit to be released...

Here are a couple pics of the new hotness...







and I thought I'd post some pics of my first love (first car)...

haha, thanks... yea, the hatch was/is slammed and I wouldn't have it any other way... it was dropped on ground control coil-overs (almost all the way down)

as for the emblem, yea it's stuck on there (not really stuck, I can just peel it off)... When I ordered my JDM emblems, the company sent me the wrong rear emblem... they sent the one for the coupe instead of the sedan... and after they sent me the correct one, they let me keep the wrong emblem... and since it's just about the same size as the steering wheel one, I decided to try it out... I'm still not quite sure how I feel about it...

The color is a custom mix my bodyshop and I came up with... and no the sedan didn't come with the footrest or the suede shift boot... THEY SHOULD HAVE FROM FACTORY, but whatever...

if you're interested, i got the footrest on ebay, and the shift boot from http://augerresources.com

That EK looks so clean! Both really nice rides! I think I like the steering wheel emblem.

I've seen your hatch on honda-tech, I always loved that thing... And the emblem looks good on the steering wheel. I look forward to seeing what you have in store for the FA

Dope rides!!

The emblem on the steering wheel is a bit too big......would look 10x better with a smaller one(try using the 5th gen prelude front emblem)...

haha, thanks man, most people know my car from honda-tech... and yea, I love my hatch too, but ever since I got the sedan, I can't help but feel like i'm cheating on my hatch...

anyway, it seems the reactions for the emblem on the steering wheel have been kinda "love it or hate it" and for the moment, it doesn't really bother me, so it's staying... as I said before, once I find the CTR steering wheel, I won't have to worry about my ghetto emblem anymore...

as for the future of the FA, I'll prolly be going down the same route I did with the hatch... Nothing but QUALITY stuff... I already have my "blueprints" of what I'm gonna be doing to it, but like I said... I want to enjoy the fact that it's a NEW car for a few months before I start doing anything major to it...

Thanks again for all the comments
