...But I thought they only made the 2004 model, ah enter the magic of the x-actom knife. I filled the dips on the from and rear bumper, and I am cutting the dips out of the lenses. I am not going to rebuild the housing to look like the 2006, because I don't have the skills or the time. What do you think?

I am going to go pick up some spray for this and the stealth soon, what is a good color to cover imperfections in putty work? I have only done the front a rear bumper so there is nothing else to post yet, I need to go get some glue so I can assemble the motor.

Cool! I always thought the 2006 headlights looked a bit cleaner than the early ones. Are you changing the tail lights as well?

I don't know of a paint that would hide putty imperfections. What you really want to do is eliminate the problem spots so you don't have to worry about them when you paint. several grades of fine sand paper and some quality spot of finishing putty should do the trick. You might want to seal it before priming to avoid ghosting.

Is there anything else planned for this yet?

The side gills on the front bumper were shaved as well. Yes, I did the rear taillamps as well. The car is getting the custom sparco seat, but it will have a back seat, not a sub box. I am thinking JDM gold and I am going to buy some more decal paper and make all the top secret decals. I have the decal sheet from an Integra Type R so this will not say RSX-S on it. I am trying to get a ride to walmart for some primer, more pics soon.

you shoulda painted the bumpers at the same time, now you're gonna have to color-match them.
