My first mod:

PRL High Volume Intake

Awesome intake. Fairly easy install. The sound difference was very noticeable afterwards. I think I wasted a whole tank of gas boosting just to hear the whoosh sound lol. Highly recommend.

 

[CJizzle_FK8]

Next mod:

PRL Thermal Coated Titanium Inlet Pipe

Love this pipe. But for some reason PRL doesn't sell it anymore. No need to heat wrap it or cera coat the pipe as it came thermal coated glossy black. The install was a bit trickier than the intake as there was a couple bolts that were a pain to get to. But still pretty easy to do with a friend. I noticed right away difference in spool. Very happy with this part.

Next mods up:

-AWE Track Exhaust
-27Won Race Billet 90A Rear Motor Mount

This exhaust is LOUD! At first I thought I made a mistake. Because I couldn't even hear my thoughts it was so loud lol. But after a few hundred miles it became bearable and I am happy with it. I get nothing but compliments for it. Although my gf hates it haha. I also noticed after I installed the inlet my psi wouldn't go farther than 20-21 psi on a good day. But after I installed this exhaust it went back to 22-23 psi on a good day. I know a lot of people seek no to little drone. If that's your case. DONT GET THIS EXHUAST. I feel like I have all the drone. But like I said after having it for a couple of months I am used to it.

As far as the 27won rmm. I love it!! Vibration is very noticeable but I like it. I feel more connected to the car. The wheel hop is significantly reduced but not 100% gone. Launches feel better. I am 1000% happy I went with the race version instead of street. And the little quote on it is pretty cool too lol.

Shoutout to SpeedElement in San Jose for doing both installs for very cheap. If you're in the bay area Cali I highly recommend them. They know what their doing.

Next mod:

RSR Super Down Lowering Springs

Before:

After:

Kind of a subtle install. Not a significant drop. Maybe an inch or so at best? Unless you're a honda or fk8 enthusiast you wouldn't notice. But before there was a gap and now the wheels tuck a tiny bit. I went to the dealership for a service check up and the guy at the front desk asked if I was on springs or coilovers lol. So that was cool. I love the subtle tuck. Handling is still legit if not better. I scrape more than I did before but whatever. I'm content with these until I go for coilovers.

Clean build so far, those RSR springs look great

 

[CJizzle_FK8]

Next mods:

-Suma Sequential Smoked Side Markers
-Suma V.2 Medium Smoked Sequential Taillights
-Suma Side Mirrors and Rearview Mirror

Love these upgrades. The Side Mirrors totally kill glare and reduce the blind spots. But if you have a tinted ctr do not get the rearview mirror because at night I cannot see a damn thing lol. The Taillights are legit. Fully Sequential. Compared to mugen which are $300 more and only partially Sequential. I love the start up sequence. I get a lot of compliments on these. Install on all of these were fairly easy (did it at night) Be careful installing the Taillights and removing the trunk cover or whatever. I broke a couple of clips with little force. Other than that. Very worth the price. High quality stuff.

the side markers are sweet. Drls are bright white and turn signals are Sequential amber. Very clean. Can't wait until suma has their headlights in stock.

Glad you love the exhaust. Lookin' forward to seeing some videos (hopefully? ?).

Just to give insight for those lookin' / wanting straight pipe performance without the drone: we offer a Touring Edition that features our patented drone-canceling 180 Technology®. This configuration is available in two calibers, so to speak.

1 for stock downpipe cars, and another variation that features our DualPhase™ MidPipe for cars equipped with aftermarket DPs.

... and if your GF wins the battle, we offer conversion kits from Track to Touring and the other way around so don't have to necessarily compromise the greatness while appeasing your co-pilot.

As always, here for questions/comments if ya need me. Feel free to tag me or shoot me a DM ?

Thanks bro. They were relatively cheap. And honestly the subtle tuck is worth the price. Glad I went with these.

 

[CJizzle_FK8]

Ok so these mods were done during the last mods might not be in order:

-Geniune Honda OEM Window Visors
-Laminex Yellow Tint, fog lights
-Custom Tint, 50% windshield, 30% front, 5% rear

The tint:

The Window Visors:

The yellow fog light tint:

Simple mods. But like they say "less is more" the tints gave it more of an aggressive look. The oem Window Visors were easy to install and definitely worth it. It gets rainy in my area and I'm able to open my window without getting wet. And laminex tints are good enough until I decide to spend $400 on jdm yellow fog lights.

 

[CJizzle_FK8]

Some minor stuff:

-iOttie Connect Pro w/ Alexa Windshield Mount

Cool phone holder. My galaxy snaps right in. And it has Alexa. Really easy to use.

-Caruse Design V.2 Aero Flap

Super easy install. Took 20 mins. Subtle look. If you get one, I advise you use better 3M tape. The roll they provide is lowkey flimsy. Although I am changing it out soon.

-LasFit Custom FloorMats

Love these. Easy to clean. Better grip on my shoes. Cleaner look.

 

[CJizzle_FK8]

Next mods, minor but super cool:

-WC LatheWerks custom Titanium Shift Knob
-Acuity Poco Red Satin Low Pro Shift Knob

The Acuity Poco is legit. Without going with a complete short shifter, this knob gives you the feel of shorter throws. The install was easy. Took all of 30 mins.

The WC LatheWerks knob is fully custom. Very heavy compared to oem and the poco. I don't plan on using it until my car is full bolt on with a tune and a turbo upgrade. Very nice looking piece. Expect a month to 2 month wait if you order one of these. Very worth it though.

Here's a quick video of my AWE track with just a prl hvi intake and inlet. I'll post another when I am fbo, and when I am tuned, and with my p600. Coming soon!

Can't wait to get this baby installed

 

[CJizzle_FK8]

Got rear ended last night by some idiot who apparently didn't see my car parked. ? Going to be out of commission for awhile (not too long I hope). Insurance company is already working fast to getting my vehicle repaired. Preliminary estimate check is in, body shop picked, and supplemental estimate is under review. If anyone knows where I can get a rallye red trunk, rear bumper and oem front lip I'd be grateful.?

All things happen for a reason and I believe my car will come back better than ever. ?
