Headlights are from a Soarer. They were taken apart and painted black. When the weather warms up more, I'm debating to swap the projectors out for the tsx ones (I have a pair sitting in my garage) and then delining the area around the projector and keep the turn signal area with the lines. Gonna be an all day process, but it should come out nice!
Still not sure on the retrofit tho....it's kind of cool to say I have a jdm light cutoff, lol, and it hasn't bothered oncoming traffic at all so far

Lmao, I've got a couple viet friends. I could see how they mistakenly call you flip! Pretty funny and crazy man!
BAD news tonight guys...
I had lil 8mm slip on wheel spacers in the front...I readjusted my coilovers today...
Apparently when I put the wheel on it didn't sit right and decided to not sit right on the hub. I thought I put it on there tight...but guess not. I took a left hand turn and next thing I know my wheel pops off and I slammed down onto the ground.
Luckily the only damage I see is my wheel scratched up around the lip and the fender is totally just smashed. Not sure how the undercarriage is since it's dark. No fluid leaking thankfully...but ya... My baby is hurtin :\
Here's the only pic I grabbed from it...Passenger front fender...
I should've gotten a bolt on spacer...guess that's what I get for trying to take the easy way out! I'm so bummed...
Anyone know where to get a fender cheap? oem or aftermarket?

really no risk of getting kicked out since he owns the place and as long as noone does anything stupid like ridiculous burnouts cops don't care.

I definitally count my blessings...If I was taking the on-ramp at the usual speed I take it, I probably would have rolled the car and it just wouldn't be good news from there. It really sucks...
Here's a clearer picture of the damage..
Wheel has no cracks/bends...tires ok...Only damage is Fender/Studs/Lug nuts really...Wheels I were eventually gonna powdercoat anyway...I was only going like 15mph...Truly thankful that is all...
