Not too much to update on, but I've sold most of my cheaper non-Spoon aftermarket parts. I pulled the rear spoiler and front lip off and sold those as well.

On Friday I received:

Spoon Duracon Shift Knob
Spoon Wide View Mirror
Spoon Oil Cap

Ordered today:

Spoon Yellow Valve Cover
Spoon Spark Plug Cover
Spoon Air Filter
Spoon Tower Bar

In mid-January I'll get a set of CR93 wheels in Silver and a Spoon snorkel, neither are in stock until then, why must Japan be so far away?

I also have a set of custom 9k springs coming in for my PSS9s. Due to the cost of the Spoon suspension I'll keep my Bilsteins for the next year or so until I can save for the Spoons.

I like where you are going with this!

Car looks great on the TE's but looking forward to seeing it with the addition of the Spoon pieces. Are you planning on running no front lip now?

TW00Si

I like the new direction but feel that the front lip could have stayed on.

I did the same thing when I had my 2000 Prelude. Went with Spoon because they didn't have too many things for the Prelude which suited the time as a poor college student.

I only like the lip when the car is lowered, I like the OEM bumper since it kind of retracts back I to the body and gives really clean lines where as the lip protrudes out.

I really like how your car looks on the plastidipped te37's. Chive On!

It's funny, I really like how it looks on a 3/4 view, but it just look too low on the side view. Perspective I guess.

My real inspiration is to have a very JDM style car, say you go to Japan and go to Type One and they're working on a customers car, I want mine to mimic what you might actually see there. Take a look at these links to see what I'm talking about. Very OEM exterior, but with tons of high quality parts on the inside and all Spoon.

Thanks, yeah the lip is gone now. I like the lip while I'm at my current height, however I'm raising it a bit (where FISH22s car is) and I just don't like the width of the lip at that height.

Saw your car at H20 and it looked great, gotta love the Amuse bumper on Laguna. If I still had my old Laguna I'd probably have already convinced Pete to sell me his.


Chive on! Gotta love plastidip on Volks.
