Honda doesn't make this easy, but I love the look!

Sweet ride!

Very clean look. I bet the shaving and patching of the front and rear were a bit expensive. I also like the red calipers are they powder coated or high temp paint?

Also did you have problems removing the windshield frame tape? Have you noticed pitting around the frame without the tape?

Sorry for all the questions, but I hope to have mine look just like your someday so any info would be much appreciated.

TIA

I'm glad this makes you happy. . .

Personally, I like the Honda badges on the car. . .the car looks to be naked with no badges.

At any rate, your Silverstone looks awesome. I like the void of the tape and red calipers!

I am taking my side badges off next week, some dental floss should do the trick.

Hair dryer for about five minutes or less, to heat up the epoxy, and then use dental floss. They should come off with ease. After that use rubbing alchohol to remove excess epoxy. Will not affect paint job at all. Take care.

I believe the secret mod is that you removed most of the black from above the exhaust pipes and on the underside of the rear bumper. Am I right? Was it just a plastic piece you removed or did you paint the whole thing?
