F### man, at least warn us. I now have to change my boxers.

Lol, that engine bay is amazing. I have a local fabricator that does great work. Imma have him make me some master cylinder cover and batter cover etc. On my Accord I had Acura TL-S's engine covers. I want to do the same with the S, cover everything but the valve Cover.

I am really digging the 2-tone black/silver look. Do you guys think I should colour match the top?
i would paint just the sides leave the center black and the sides. would look really dope like that. just enough to make it match and tie it together with car and keeping the black and grey theme.

car looks amazing. some black RPFs or even some SBC ones would look amazing on this car. some 17x9 +45's maybe.

this is what im talking about on the top. seen the center left black and the little triangle sides...

have more pics of this? I was considering doing it also

LOL thanks man! I have always loved the factory red/gold of the valve cover and plan on leaving it that way. It looks like the heart of the car.

I'm curious what is it about the rear bumper that you don't like? When I first bought it, I was unsure, but as my car developed more of an aggressive stance, I fell in love with it.

AutoGlym huh? Nice!! I have their HD Wax, never knew they had a rubber/vinyl conidtioner too. I usually, well pretty much all the time, use Aerospace 303. Such an amazing product, restores the matte finish without any greasiness etc. Especially great for the soft top.

303 is great but I still prefer the finish Autoglym gives. 303 is glossier than Autoglym .

For the soft top I use this: http://www.autopia-carcare.com/wps-1141.html

I have to agree. I think it's just too bulky for the amuse front end and stock body. It just seems to hang low compared to the rest. As long as you like it though.
