My OEM fogs came in the mail today from H&A. You guys must be like WTF, you already have fogs. Well those are eBay fogs and i didn't like the fit of the wire harness so i got OEM's. H&A had a sale on them at a price i could not pass up ($181). What really surprised me is that they included the switch, which is supposedly sold separately.

I really like your rsx cluster. Looks really nice in the civic....wish I did that...

good luck with the k swap...y you not going turbo????

jamescardenas07 · 09-30-2008, 08:05 PM

The main reason I'm going K is because the lack of tuners in my area to boost. Id have to ship my car to another island in-order to tune

jamescardenas07 · 10-16-2008, 09:21 PM

Besides the swap, i have some relatively big plans for her. Mainly suspension, but a little touch up on the interior and fixing my trunk leak as well. This phase should be done around spring.

Suspension:
-F7 Rear LCA
-J’s Racing Roll Center Adjuster
-Mugen Front LCA Hard Bushings
-Mugen Front Strut Bar
-T1R Inverted Tie-Rods
-T1R Rear Camber Arms

Interior:
-JDM DC5 Push Start Button
-Mugen Pedals
-OEM Fit Combination Switch
-RedlineGoods Armrest Cover
-RedlineGoods Shift Boot
