Finally got around to putting a somewhat OEM exhaust system back on. I took the J's racing header, Berk HFC, and Greddy SE v2 exhaust off and replaced it with a ceramic coated OEM header, Tomei Expreme Ti test pipe (for science), and OEM exhaust with a UK mod.

I ordered a brand new CR wing with all the hardware from Honda a couple months ago and everything finally started to arrive the past couple weeks due to random hardware being on backorder. I sourced out another GPW trunk so I didn't have to drill into my OEM trunk and started assembling the CR spoiler assembly. All the bolts, nuts, wing stiffener were fresh so it made the install enjoyable and a breeze at the same time.

Looking really good. Are you adding reinforcement plates inside the trunk lid?

Thanks all! I contemplated the use of plates for weeks but I decided against it. No custom plates used here. Instead, I decided to use the thickest zinc plated washers I could fit on the underside of the trunk. If it fails over time, then I'm just going to get an OEM CR trunk lid and call it a day. The only justification I have to still call this a "basic" build is because everything is still OEM :P I'm doing my best to keep it that way haha
