Alright, I finally got a good chunk of my mods installed. It's been a fun winter mod'in this whore, and I am ready for that reflash which I am sending away for this week. Here are some pictures and my reviews on each of the mods I did.
Current Aftermarket Modifications: -Fujita Short Ram Intake -Tanabe Racing Medallion Stainless Cat-Back Exhaust System -Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs -Comptech Short Throw Shifter -Plug n' Play 6000K HID Lighting System -15% Window Tint on all windows -Lamin-x Tinted Tail Lights First off, some current pics ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Pics of some of the goodies ![]() Fujita Short Ram I'm not going to be the first one to tell you this is a must. That sound is oh so sick Tanabe Racing Medallion Stainless Cat-Back Exhaust System Gosh damn beautiful. The sound is EXACTLY what I wanted. Something quiet at idle and during normal driving, but a deep rumbly tone at WOT. I also love the roar when decelerating in gear. ![]() Eibach Sportlines These give the SI a stance that make it look like it's ready to pounce. The ride is damn near stock feeling with just a little more stiffness. Hugs the corners and really feels a lot more stable than on the stock springs. I do wish the back was about a inch lower though. Front sits perfect. Comptech Short Throw Shifter HUUUGGGEEE improvement!!! Haven't grinded a gear since I've had it. Also has a great solid feeling when shifting. A must have mod for every SI that experiences the shifting problems that SI's seem prone to. Plug N' Play 6000K HID Lighting System Got them from the one and only FLASHPLUS on eBay. Best $100 I spent. One thing I missed about my IS300 were the HIDs. Install is simple as pie, and the lights look great. Sorry I don't have any other pics yet, but I will soon. These make the SI look REALLY clean. ![]() ![]() Laminx Tail Light Covers Well, the right side went on like a glove, the left side was another story. I love the way they look, but I have to get a replacement for the left....which is on its way as we speak. They are a bitch to put on, and thick as hell, which makes them hard to trim in fear of running the razor down the quarter panel. Love the 'blacked out' look. Feel free to ask any questions. You guys were a GREAT help to me during these mods, so I wanna be sure to return the favor. I will be getting the ECU back from HONDATA sometime late next week, and will have a full review of that. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MID-RANGE!!!! Also looking for a header, but am probably going to wait to see what comes out since the DC is a TURD and the SSR is for people with too much $$$. Thanks for looking! |

Looks great man, the only thing I don't like is the strip of tinit across the windshield but other than that it looks sweet.
I have been considering the Tanabe Medallion myself and you are one of the first few people I have seen with it, it does look pretty nice i am just wondering what it would look like with the HFP rear lip. Do you think there is anyway you could snap a shot of the back of your car car, aiming straight at the back as opposed to from different angles? I am just trying to get an idea of how the exhaust sits and what it it looks like from behind. |
