2 sets of clear corners: 1st set had the reflector and it looked cheesy to me. sold. 2nd set was the same thing without the reflector. got sick of it. sold. back to OEM, painted amber.

blaupunkt headunit: sounds great, looks nice, think it may be scratching CDs so i only play burned CDs on it now. makes me wish i had kept the OEM acura cd player.

94-95 acura wheel center caps: thought they would fit my '96 GSR wheels (so i wouldn't have to use the big cap). they stuck out and looked odd on the wheel, so i sold them.

as you can see, nothing major to this point. i'm more than happy with all of my suspension mods. only engine mod is the k&n filter.

regret getting a cheap short ram intake, getting the icebox soon

regret getting a polished shift knob, gets way too hot in the sun

H&R sport springs are awsome, but they made me require gettin my wheel well rolled. KYB shocks arent all they are suppost to be.

it didn't look how I thought it was gonna look. and the fitment of aftermarket dask kits is weak.

what about the fitment of the CF kits? any quality kits out there? It seems like a waste of money but somewhere down the road it would be tight

Skunk2 shift knob - Awsome knob, but not for me. Its nice and heavy, so I love how it feels actually shifting.. but its too small for the size of my hand. Going to go with a larger 400gram Razo knob instead.
