The CAI is awesome. Yes it's Apex'i WS. The valve cover was a DIY job. :D

3/4" lowering + the T1 lip should be great to improve the look of the car.

Looks beautiful....what paint did you use for the valve cover.....I was thinking about either doing mine in chrome or actually color coating it to match the color of my car.

is that a red emblem on your steering wheel or red paint? If it's an emblem don't get into an accident or that emblem will fly into your face at 400+mph - you'd be dead.

CivSiGuy

it's paint. I'm not that insane to glue and emblem on lol

Valve cover should be done in "Ford Racing Red" Engine Enamel

Ok, I think the whole V8 thing is getting out of hand man. Ford Racing Red? Should go well with the Vortech Emblem :finger:

Headers look really nice under the hood. You need to get a plug wire cover, may I suggest one with lots of LEDs on it?

I was gonna get the rear lip, but Honda has discontined it like the whole Si kit.

haha yea that was me about the whole lowering thing.. i am kinda sneaking it by him.. i told him i was buying new shocks and he said ok, so i did..i let them sit for a lil while and started calling them "my suspension kit" and then told him i was ordering new springs to go with my shocks.. he was like whatever.. so when they came, he was like "whats that", i said "my lowering springs..." and he said "don't you have new shocks in the garage?" and i said "yea these springs go on the shocks.." and he just said "oh.".. i don't think he cares anymore, so i'm doin it :cool:

as for the rear lip u can get a replica from speedandstyle.com for like 130...

and you didn't say how you like your WS!! is it noticeable at all? i know its really quiet. my goal was to get an exhaust that i can tell is there but i wanna be able to hear my intake WAY over the exhaust.. as well as have the exhaust be almost silent at cruising speeeds.. do you think i'll be happy with it based on my description of my goal and your personal experience? mine will be at my house tuesday so we shall see :)

i love my ws. I'm gonna have a short vid of it on here soon for you to hear it. You will hear the intake over the exhaust from midrange to high rpm.... the exhaust is only noticeable at low rpm and it is deep and throaty, not obnoxiously loud or ricey sounding. yeah you'll love it and it's cheap as hell. :D

thanks for the word on the rear lip. :)

oooh i can't wait to see the vid!! i'll prolly have my exhaust on by the time you get it up on the net tho :(

Haha, if you saw my header in person, you'd be like "Man that's an ugly peice of shit..." the flange is all rusted, its all scratched up and miscolored... Hell, I got the damn thing for $200 installed, so I'm not complaining :D
