A few weeks ago I finally swapped to aftermarket wheels - downsizing to 17" Black Motegi Traklites with Ventus V12 Evo2 rubber, but never got a chance for a good glamour shot (also I was waiting on cleaning up the brakes).

Finally got it all done this afternoon, just in time for a nice rain to clean the car adn a great moment for a photo.

In the last week I have installed:
  • Acuity cable bushings
  • Acuity pedal spacer
  • black Acuity shift boot collar
  • Centric rotors and Evo carbon-fiber ceramic pads
  • 27Won leather shift knob
  • smoked led rear bumper "reflectors" (iJDMTOY style)
I also:
  • painted all 4 calipers black with G2 paint (fml, cleaning the calipers sucked)
  • tinted my third brake light with Luminx charcoal film (the only wrapped light on my car - I looked everywhere for a smoked lens...)
  • updated Hondahack and got the custom boot video configured (it is a neat little personalized touch)
  • installed John NESS and John SNES (nes/snes emulators) on the head unit and my controller worked with the center console usb port oob! (perfect for waiting in a drive thru line or for a long train at a railroad crossing)
  • mapped the reverse cam in Hondahack to the down arrow button on the steering wheel dpad (this is super fucking handy for rolling neutral backwards down my driveway)
  • detailed the engine bay
  • Moved to the MAPerformance #2 stage 1 tune for daily driving
Next projects:

All 4 the insight leather door armrests (Deep Black) are in the mail en route and the center console pieces ship on the 20th. Red fabricmate dye pen is also in the mail (for dying the center console stitching red to match thre Si trim).

I plan to order the Acuity short shifter soon too.

Do these come only in red? Do you think this will look good with the Green Si Coupe? I do not want the original mats because they are junk, I have never had a mat wear through in a year in my entire life, if ever.
I think they are only in red that I’ve seen. The only reason I got them is because my car is red. Me personally I would only put them in a black or red car. The mats are really good quality. If you like them tho go for it!

I never hear anything about this tune, despite it being made by a popular and active forum sponsor. Good experiences with it so far?

Not pictured besides the intake and rotors but some parts I got installed:

PRL street CAI (should’ve gone with race MAF but it is what it is)
PRL FMIC w/ charge pipes
Koyorad radiator
R1 carbon drilled/slotted rotors
Powerstop z23 ceramic brake pads
Type-r sub frame brace
27won RMM

Went to Samurai Motors in Las Vegas. Dropped off yesterday, picked up today. Yoshi, the owner, saved me about $700 on install compared to another shop in town. If you’re ever in Vegas, hit them up. They know their stuff. They also did my oil change a couple days ago - Amsoil 0w20.

Thought about installing myself but I work 7 days a week now due to covid (in healthcare) so I’d rather not spend a day off wrenching on my only car lol

little bit interior detailing! Rainy day in NJ! I was gonna wash my car.
My favorite thing is washing my car on my day off ? My gf little jealous about my car. She asked me today That I love my car more or her? ? i started to touch my steering wheel like touching her hair ??she got mad!!!
oh hell naw.
now that’s messed up! lol I’m sure it’s the other way around here with my boyfriend. But I’m not obsessed with cleaning my car, maybe a little lol. Btw, where did you get your interior mats from that has the blue edging? Amazon? I’ve looked for those but can never find them lol.

Yeah. I was running a modified ktuner tune last year. I like the low end power from the MAPerformance tune, especially map #2. I may spring for a TSP tune to A/B them. Unlike the MAP tune, the TSP tune is mostly locked down (cannot make changes). I appreciate that the MAP tune is completely open.

It was the first thing that I got for my car. You're gonna like it! I bought blue color but I ended up with red interior ?I may buy red one for matching rest of interior! These mats help to keep clean specially cup holder spots.

Excuse me, stop lying to us. You bought a new car and didn't use a cleaner. Anyway. Holy crap it looks good ?
