:lol: nope, completely the opposite. I've learnt over time, Honda did it perfect from the factory, no need to change anything. they dont suit the bumper IMO, compared to a CRX bumper which has bottom half black to break it up

I have them in mine, they work very well with the interior, a lot more subtle than the red ones.

Right so!!! Today in preparation for the ee9-ef9 meet at the Nurburgring I have

Changed oil and filter
Replaced spark plugs
Cleaned air filter
Removed headlights and refitted new lenses
Lined up the bumper and lights a bit better
Fitted a new left rear caliper
Fitted new rear pads
Fitted Ksport coilovers
Repaired the heater resister (I'm in the 4 speed heater club)

next on the list is rising the rear up slightly, slightly roll the rear arches, track it, fit the 282's and fit a timing belt and water pump!!
