Not yet. . . . his estimate is this Friday, so I should be sport'n it at the next meet! :pinkwoot:

He seemed really competent from the conversation I had with him before dropping it off. His prices are quite steep without the buddy discount. I am paying $50 more than I would have shipping it up to New Jersey. But hey, you pay for convenience. It'll be totally worth the extra $ if he does it well.
He seems slow but I guess the work that goes into it is highly underestimated. I'll be dropping one off to him in the next few weeks as well....Thinking the fake polished look though:dance:. And don't forget I'm just 2 doors down from him when your ready to show that thing off!
haha. My guy in New Jersey took months on my valve cover, so Jodi is not at all slow. I'll see if I can swing by . . . people at my place of work tend to panic if I take long lunches. They like to keep me nailed to my desk :(
yea id like to see how yalls work comes out. im still trying to get a set of those TL wheels for my fg2. and also im pretty sure ima get rid of the si spoiler and just get the lip spoiler. maybe i can find an r18 to just trade with me. i think those TL wheels on my car completely debadged of all si emblems or any way to notice it as an si besides the sound is what im going for. gonna keep it clean looking with my red "H" emblems. and ima go with the black "H" for my TL center cap. trying to stay different from everyone else. "Kwick-N-Klean."
DUDE IM LOVING THE WHEELS I always like the TL wheels stand alone. I wish my brother still had his 02 Accord so we could put the TL wheels on it as well. I miss that DOHC VTEC lol my lil bro wrecked it boooooooooo!!!!!!
So Is BWW on Wed or Sun? hehe let me know I cant wait to get my grill!!!! Yeah r3v I ordered the grille with the base and no si badge and I watched the vid on how to cut it out. I just saw a guy with an R18 badge and it looked so amazing. I might do the Black Civic emblems all over on my car and change the grille emblem to black once my grille comes in. Im also thinking of painting my car. I was thinking Red or the Yellow that the 2009 S2k comes in. Anyone else think A YELLOW R18 would be nice?
Yeah, that's very clean looking..Prob the best aftermarket mid exhaust I've seen in a while
that's the Si concept exhaust

Took off my Si spoiler yesterday and my car was so ugly. :sadface:

Finally aligned the car yesterday before we closed the shop. Came out great..didn't need a camber kit so I was pleased with that:woowoo:

Type r yellow would look so sweet on there.
I'm all for a weekend meet, I got too much stuff during the week as it is!
i'm looking to get some better sound in my car. i want to keep it simple with a basic amp and 10" sub. any suggestions in where to go-not totally overpriced and quality work.

also same question for tint. best places, best value. any input is appreciated -on either topic.

thanks in advance.

hey what did u set ur camber at in the front and the rear. im sure u didnt adjust the rear as u really cant without adjusters but id like to know what ur camber reading ended up being. also yea taking the spoiler off is a different look. havent 100% decided on if thats what i want to do but it was def a different way to go for the si. seen a few that have done it and it looks pretty cool.
:giggle: I hate the Si sedan spoiler--Honda put so much effort into designing such a slick, integrated body. Why would they top it off with a wing that looks like it was tacked on as an afterthought? Rear decklid spoiler ftw! I initially had every intention of removing mine, but couldn't figure out how to install a brake light without screwing with my sub. I'm fine now though somehow my Mugen rear balanced the poor wing out.

As far as tint and audio are concerned, I'll just say DON'T go to TNT. They screwed up my tint, backed out on my lifetime warranty, and refuse to fix it. For an audio install avoid places like BestBuy. Take it to a real audio shop. If you want to do the install yourself, I love my elemental designs sub.

I'll put this last part in bold in case people don't want to read the whole essay I just typed: BWW on Sunday the 21st @ 2:00?

I'm a big fan of doing audio projects (as some of the guys/gals on here can probably tell you.) But what kind of sound are you looking for? just a little extra "oomph" in your music, or "bass in your face" kind of sound? and most importantly, budget. depending on how much you want to spend, if you're looking to not spend a whole lot of money, you can probably get a sub/amp combo, for around $250. But like I said, it all depends on what you want.
Yea R3v 2pm on sunday the 21st is good here!

YUP BEST BUY if they messed any of you guys stuff up I worked there for 5yrs and LOL they have two good installers and the rest are horrrrrrrrrrrid because some of them are part time-ers !!!!
Cool. I'll extend the invite to the Mazdas too--they are more likely to make it out on a Sunday anyway.
I've been to TNT with both of my civics... loved the service and they did a pretty good job for me.
They did both of my old Mazdas and did excellent work. They just screwed up my Si. Which wouldn't be such a big deal except they won't fix it! :pinksadface:
now I just need to get the Red H center caps and that will set it off. I want the real ones but not the real price...lol...
i'll hit you up when i powder coat my itr's.
If any of you guys could make it to the linked event, it would be greatly appreciated.

please read

I know it's out of the way, but his family's going through an extremely emotional time. I want to help them as best I can.

I'll be driving from Shreveport.
