my stock bulb was clear. so what i did was replace it with a full chrome amber bulb, but the light output is WEAK! at night, its not bad. during the day? HAHA! anyways, im considering this tricked out LED, but im getting mixed reviews from the guys over on the CLEARING HEADLIGHTS (WITH PICS) thread.

something about it shorting shit out and being a huge pain in the ass. i dunno, but im gonna go with this "chrome dome" in the mean time. hopefully it solves the issue and i dont have to reverse the clearing or look into this LED /nervous

We just use hand tools, dont get HFC you will lose few ponies with that.....im trying to convince my friend get Vibrant too instead of BCRH....hopefully he will buy his header soon then we can help each other install the header at the same time :)

It's great! Haven't pushed it too hard yet but have put about 230 miles down in about 26 hours! I got the Navi too, love the ipod/USB connectivity. Bluetooth is a great and all too.

The best part of all is.......

Love hearing the engine open up and howl!!!!

White Knight · 10-15-2008, 09:30 PM

that sounds so hollow coming from you, Neo. you don't know how to stay outta VTEC - you launch at 5800 RPMs!

redpepSi · 10-15-2008, 11:02 PM

the NHBP is the first color i've seen in which i like the new rims - congrats! when are we all gonna get together and shoot photos (and pitchers)?

***gunhoe86*** · 10-15-2008, 11:33 PM

$23,850 + TTL and blah blah blah = $26,000

It's Crystal Black Pearl, it looks like it has a bit less glitter than NHBP but you can't tell unless there's direct light.

Sunday photos maybe???
