**UPDATE** (And more to come VERY soon~)

So i went in like a "BUY NEW PARTS" Bender in the last couple weeks.... ordered HID's from DDM... (35W Raptor kit, 6000k bulbs).... ordered the Shark II antenna.... new Mugen Shift knob.... motor mount inserts.... then yesterday i hiot up the parts store... got a new sprecte air filter... 3M headlight restore kit and sealer... and silicone for the motor mount inserts...

Here are a couple pics... still waiting on some parts to arrive... but i did installthe air filter... and got the passenger torque mount insert done yesterday.... hopefully i get the HID kit soon.... and antenna...

More to come VERY SOON~ Stay tuned everyone... this is about to start getting good

New air filter

Passenger torque mount insert... ready to be installed

Old crapped out mount after removing the splash shield...(dont mind my ugly oil pan...what a mess lol)

Pulled my stock intake resinator box out while i was down there... it was borken and held on by one bolt anyways...

Resinator removed

Torque mount removed..

This always makes me feel better...

Silicone the crap out of the Energy mount insert... so squeeks for me lol

Insert installed... i used bolts and nuts and washers to secure it in.. instead of zipties

Installed back in the car...

And here is a random of the 3M kit i got.. and the headlight sealer

**UPDATE TIME**

Alright guys... so i was off yesterday... and got some more done to the car... came into a little snag... after pulling out the driver side torque mount...

GD It...

But i called advance auto parts and they had one in stock.. so i snagged it and put the new insert into it...and installed it...(cleaned up the oil pan a bit too)

Then a present came in the mail

Had my little helper out there with me giving me pointers...

Headlights before...

Then after passenger side done..

Then both done..

Then decided to polish my headlights and use the sealer on them to make them even brighter and more clear looking...The 3M kit is amazing... and sealer...

another after polished..

and another...

outside...

and the cutoff line...

I am extremely satisfied with the motor mount inserts... WAY more stiff... feels much better with no engine movement... other then i feel a lot more of the engine vibrations in the cab now.. but not too bad. The DDM Tuning HID kit is amazing... easy install... and as of now... they work GREAT..... and obviously the 3M headlight restore kit... and headlight sealer... i would recommend both... they are amazing. I also re-did my Fiance's Accord... and they turned out like new again....

from this after sanding...

to this... after polished and sealed...

Thanks for reading guys... more to come~

shoot man... for the price and lifetime warranty through DDM Tuning... its almost dumb not to order the hid's... $53 shipped... for my 35W 6000k raptor kit...

Install was pretty easy... just had to find places on both sides to mount the ballasts...

Thanks for the reply~

Haha yup, I had a 80 Camaro that took to much time and money so I got into the Honda game, saved soooooo much money doing that. Lol, I miss my v8 though

 

[Cman46290]

after getting into Hondas... i was just sooo floored at how much you could beat on them whilst still getting 30mpg....and holding strong...

The high revving B series motor caused me to fall in love with hondas in the first place.... and now ive had the B16 and B18C motors... and what an amazing engine it is~
