Stock CR FTW. Im keeping mine stock i was thinking about doing header and exaust but for price compared to gains not worth it. I love her how she is i just need to paint the rotors and maybe exasut tips black. And might get whindows tinted. Right now im waiting for the next auto cross event to come up to go never auto crossed before but might as well use the car for what it was made for.

Still may pull the trigger on an 09 GPW CR no option car

Time is running out and I may end up kicking myself either way I go

Keep the 08 base or go 09 CR

You mean paint the calipers right

I hear ya these things are so gorgeous! I love walking by the window and seeing it in the driveway. A full year of owner ship and she still turns my head. It's so funny because I was one of the biggest complainers about the CR especially the front spoiler and rear wing then I saw the car in person and was just smitten.

Your yellow is smokin by the way! Also what color might you paint your calipers?

I found the picture in the was/detail section. So the guy was just taking the wing off to do a nice detail job on her!

Just to show that I don't think there are any indentations!

BTW: I pick my Apex Blue CR up this week!

As far as mods, might do a light tint onthe windows, other than that I hope I am happy with the car in OEM form, because I really need to save for a house!

PS: I got a change to take a ride in (sirbunz) white CR over the weekend at a local autocross. Wow car felt amazing as a passenger and great driving.

I think it may have even been the fastest fenderd car of the day.

never think that header and exhaust are not worth the money. paying retail is a bit hard to swallow but if you shop around you can find decent deals.

I picked up a J's header and Greddy tic 70mm for about $1500 and it was worth every penny. Also a Hondata flash is an excellent mod as well; being able to rev the car to 8600 helps alot.
