Very busy day today. Had some spare headlights that I painted black swapped on. Will be retrofitting the original ones that were on the car, which will take a few weeks, so needed something to get by. They look awesome!

Installed the College Hill dual horn upgrade. Plug and play and sounds awesome. Nice and loud, not ashamed to use it now.

Swapped in the JL Audio C2-350x center speaker, with baffle and harness. Sounds even better now, and compliments the new Alpine tweeters and crossovers.

And finally installed the PRL Cobra Intake. Install was truly a pain doing it in my driveway with no ramps. Took me a bit to figure out the PRL tubing placement and getting mounts fitted. Lower stock box was actually super easy to remove for me up through the top. Couple twists here and there and it popped right out.

The black housing looks really good, so why not doing the retrofit on this one instead? Or is the original one already in black?

Honestly I was going to do the retrofit on these but decided at the last minute I’d rather have brand spanking new headlights that came on my 2019 for the retrofit now that I did these spares. These ones are used so not 100% perfect, but nothing a little buffing can’t fix. They look so awesome though.

That makes sense, well, perhaps you can do the retrofit on this black set later, even resell it;)

Congratulations for the grille wrap, it is extremely difficult to get it right. I tried twice and the result was not good at all, i took it off and switched to paint.

Thank you sir! I had to wrap the top and bottom with different grain due to shortage of material. It took quite some hours lol. Started at 5 and didn't finish till 11.

My son and I installed a spoiler and smoked side markers on his (well mine but he claims it as his) 2016 LX. Then my other son helped me hand wash and waxed it today. Tomorrow the Konig Oversteer 18x8 go on with 235/40R18s.

How did you mount the screw to secure it? Also, any picks of your ride? The yelliw has me wondering how good it looks.

OR, i could just look at your profile pic. Looks magnificent! Custom? Can't be Honda option?
