The reservoir covers absorb master cylinder and clutch reservoir tank leaks. They are also fire resistant.

Hey thanks alot guys ! i really like how it turned out

ride quality is just like oem but corner is ALOT better

DumbasSI - u know those twisties along the mountain side on 403 near Hammy ? 125 no problem lol

my buddy in T.dot has a JRP acct so wholesale price

i'm still on stock struts..(did u know they're KYB's lol)

the install was pretty time consuming cause we didn't have a tool for the top mount strut to take the nut off....called a buddy and he brought over air tools and it was no prob after that

def an afternoon job


those are 17" Konig Toxxin's powdercoated sahara gold and yea it's a yellow lamin-x headlight kit


yea those mugen resevoir covers are what DumbasSI said , it also matches the oil dip stick !

astroboy - mine's an ex sedan so yea it'll fit on non - SI's
