your coupe looks awesome!! i love that front bumper on there man. and shaving those license plate holes looks really good. i would say to put the fogs back in. i like em on your car.

you might even just try leaving the emblem off the grill. that's what i did with my car. i think it looks good that way. only thing you car needs now is the SiR front lip to really set it off. good work man. :TU:

thanks mike...
i dunno if i'll reinstall the fogs... but i'll pick up for sure a SiR lip... for me it really hard to have it bucause here in Italy nobody sell it and i should buy it in US, but neither the lip neither the shipping cost are cheap...

rear SiR bumper soon:rockon:

04-17-2006, 03:06 PM

i know you were talking about what to do with your fogs, so i put a couple chops together. what can i say, i was bored. :D i also put on your OEM grill and the OEM SiR lip. ;)

no fogs

round fogs

square fogs

updated pics soon...

guys i have a question for you:

i've already bought hte integra type R rear fog light to install it on my rear bumper... i dunno how it would look, and i'm not sure that the fog will fit in the bumper with the SiR mouldings:neutral:

so what you think... i should install it or not?

red4

04-19-2006, 09:31 AM

in general i like how the rear fogs look mounted in the bumper, but it would suck to cut the hole out and then decide you don't like it, especially with your new SiR bumper. maybe try mounting it in your current stock bumper to get a feel for how it will look?

from the looks of this image, it looks like it might be a tight fit...

you'll probably just have to hold up the fog and play around with it to see if it wil fit. but definitely think about it for awhile before cutting into your new bumper. ;)

red4

04-19-2006, 10:01 AM

here are a couple more pictures...

if you run it i think it would look best UNDER the SiR molding, but like you said i don't know if it will fit.

Mugen_Stumpo

04-19-2006, 10:50 AM

but definitely think about it for awhile before cutting into your new bumper. ;)

yeah for sure;)

but without the bumper mouldings i dunno if the rear fog could fit... i have to wait for the mouldings... then decide if install fog or not...

thanks mike for the comment and pics... i wanted a pic of the fog mounted on a coupe so bad but i've never success in finding it... so thanks shogun:TU:

i have mounted the ITR exhaust today...

1) it was a bit short, so we had to mod it a bit...
2) it looks so nice, and the bumper without the lip flown pretty well with the exhaust tip
3) it sounds really good, quite almost as the stock one in low rpm, but louder in high range of rpm...

i'm very happy of my purchase, maybe i'll buy also the ITR central pipe

gold
black
some strange color that flow nice with my car's color
