Sup everyone, just wanted to update some progress for the DC5. The weather is getting snowy here in Ohio so figured it was time to take more pictures.

TSX projectors are about $120, but I got this set for $70 from a super duper quick sale. I did the retrofit myself so it wasn't too expensive either. The only problem was that I had to buy a used set of headlights while these were off the car. The retrofit itself took about 8 hours for both headlights and about 6 hours for fogs and foglight installs.

also the g can already run mid 13s stock and the hks intakes adds an estimated 10 extra hp and the exhausts add like 8 so yeah it should shove off about 1.5 to 2 sec off my times

I plan to buy some 05-06 type-s rims when I can get my hands on a set. I don't plan to spend too much on aftermarket rims because I can't take myself to spend like 1k on rims and tires. Right now I think Kpro, motor mounts, a race header (can't get it right now because I have emissions next May FTL), then a drop. Tires are right afterwords because these OEM tires are not very good on the snow or at the track. Just got some bills to take care of first before I start throwing money into the car some more.

It was a toss up between that and bankai; I would change when I gotta renew my plates but it cost $65 for new plates and tags.

what kind of front lip and side skirt is is that? looks really weird (just my opinion)
front is like a knockoff c-west/greddy, side's like a knockoff mugen lol

Thanks, HID's were the most expensive modification and time consuming so far. I put a lot of work into getting them aimed right. The worst part about them was that I had to open then and seal them back up at least 10 times to get them looking as nice as they are now. Bad part is that I have to realign the drivers side again because its slight too far to the left.
The front is exactly what you stated, ebay special...LOL. Not many people are fond of it and I just chose it to be different because all of the RSXs will probably say "get A-spec, Type-R, or stay OEM" I've gotten it a lot on the boards but in person I've only gotten good compliments about it. The side is authentic Wings West G5 actually, got it for a really good deal as well as the rear C-West valences.
