    I have a couple of projects lined up.

    1) My VRD fogs should be here sometime this week. They will be installed if it's warm enough.

    2) I have a set of 07 heads coming to me probably today. I will be baking them and retro-fitting projectors in them. They will be installed whenever I get them finished. They are going to take a while.

    3) I'm looking for a set of stock wheels to paint gold and black. I was originally just going to paint my wheels gold, but seeing as how the paint needs to cure for about a week, I will just buy another set. Plus that will give me a chance to put some sticky summers on them when I'm done...

    4) I need to purchase the carbon fiber dash applique. After that is installed, I will yank the waterfall out and paint the outer edges black. I will also do the same for the gauge shroud.

    5) I will be looking into getting a spoiler. I don't want something huge or something as small as a lip spoiler. I think I will just try and find an OEM pedestal spoiler.

    Those are my plans as of right now. There are more to the list, but I don't know when I'll be able to get to those yet. What do you guys think?

    Headlights came in today. I took the oppurtunity to go ahead and bake one of them just for the hell of it.

    Ok. Just as an update, I bought a set of stock wheels and tires from a guy for $350. I have started to paint one of them gold, but i still need to finish it with the black. Once they are all done, I will put them on the car and run them in the summer only. Then throw a set of winter tires on my current stockers and be good to go. The retro-fit headlights will begin once I save the money for the projectors and the HID kit. And the fog lights will be installed once it warms up because I have to take part of the car apart to install them.

    My only opinion in your upcoming mod list is to ditch the oem spoiler. Get a lip or CF lip spoiler. just my suggestion. With all the snow we got today its a good day to work on those head lights!

    Ok. Welcome back ladies and gents. I am still working on painting my new wheels. I have two of them completely done and I am frantically working on getting the other two done so that I can put them on.

    The fogs are still yet to be installed because it has not been warm enough to get under the car. I have to take all the splash-guards off and find a good place to mount the ballasts.

    I went to a couple of junkyards in an attempt to find an OEM HID kit out of something like an Acura. So far, no luck. I did find a Honda S2000 that had no front-end damage whatsoever. They had just taken the motor out since it was still dripping fuel. I asked the guy there if they could get me just the projectors out of the headlights. He said no. Apparently, since there is no front-end damage, they want to cut it off and sell the front clip as a whole. Headlights included for around $3500. He said that even if he could sell me just the headlights, they would be about $500 a piece. I'm not going that route. I guess I just have to keep looking.

    My BSP pedistal spoiler should be here today. Look for a DIY on that one also...

    Ok. I don't know how many of you guy actually read this, but here's an update if you do. I recieved my spoiler the other day. I had to spend $35 on the template for it though. Anyway, that will be installed once I recruit the help of a gentleman I met at the meet up here Sunday.

    My car is at MAACO right now getting the bumper repainted because they screwed it up the first time. Once it gets back to me and it gets warm enough, I will install my VRD's. Once I get done with some of my suspension parts and my intake, I will be looking into buying a RS1 lip kit. I saw it in person at the meet and it looks really nice with H-Tech's. Not too high, but not too low either.

    Heading off this Sunday to pick up a badgeless top grille and DC SPORT front strut bar. I need to make a list of all the parts I already have and everything I need to still get. I will get to work on that soon.
