Round 2: 2004 Rio Yellow Build
I probably should have stayed off this site if I didn't want to mod this car.
I purchased this car from mirabileboy on November 1st, 2013. I drove 3 hours from home to test drive it and finally to purchase it. Coming from my 04 Acura TL it was harsh and loud...but by the time I made it home in it at 3am, I was in love.
Mods that existed:
oem lip
oem hard top
espelir springs
63mm Berk test pipe
81522+ bulbs
15mm rear spacers
K&N FIPK
Mods I added:
Led Panels for interior/trunk/license
Front X brace
15mm front/20mm rear spacers
reinstalled soft top i bought
reinstalled cruise control
reinstalled wiper fluid reservoir and all tubing/motors (AND FLUID!)
Moddiction blue convex side mirrors
Spoon rearview add on
Pioneer DEH9600 w/Modifry DCI
Modifry side cup holder/bracket
Modifry cell phone dash holder
Modifry center console separator
Modifry sidemarker module
Speed sensor mod for raising/lowering soft top while moving
Hard wired V1 radar detector and visor mount for easy swapping with my other car
Sold Hard Top (top always down guy here )
Totally refinished brake rotors/hubs and calipers in glossy black
JVT Header
Flowmaster High Flow Cat
Invidia Q300 custom extended to fit perfectly by previous owner
Buddy Club N+ going on soon, waiting on some new spanner wrenches.
Had the lowpro lip protector but removed it
mishimoto tall weighted shifter
GM syncrhomesh FM fluid
black oem honda emblems
cr clear sidemarkers with chrome dipped bulbs
oem side strakes
new oem mats
perrin shorty antenna
rolled rear fenders
I tried moving it, but I figured I'd start fresh here and have a thread that was more of a build than an introduction. I am so FOS, I literally got this car and had decided I would NOT mod it.

Thanks a lot, fellas!
I agree, it's just funny that I said "I'm not doing ANYTHING to this car" and when I start spelling it out, it's a lot.
I can't even put together a list for my TL that I said the same thing about 5 years ago.

LMAO, my bad, I meant wiper fluid reservoir and all piping. Previous owner dumped that and cruise control and soft top for weight savings and a clean look but I wanted the functionality. It was a challenge putting the pieces together without any real DIY's out there on it.
Thanks for the comments, guys.
I love the V2's but I know myself...after exhaust and suspension, you already know you'll eventually need wheels to set it apart from a stock one. Maybe one day...I'm in no rush though, I DO love how they look standing and rolling.
