I was driving to work this morning when the power kept cutting out and the check engine light came on, so I turned around & went back home. Turns out the primary/upstream oxygen sensor is bad. I got the old one off with little trouble but finding a replacement has been the burden. Autozone said they had one so I biked my *** over there, but of course they were wrong and didn't have the right part (it was a universal). There's no Advance nearby and NAPA didn't have anything. O'Reilly's is transferring one from another store to the location near me. It's a Bosch which I've heard doesn't mix well with Hondas (just like their spark plugs), but it's my only option. Can't even get through to the parts dept. at the dealer. :rolleyes:

EDIT: Bosch seems to have fixed it, car actually is running smoother than it was before. Maybe that sensor was going bad for awhile, didn't get a CEL til now though. Going to order a Denso primary/secondary from RockAuto just for the future, just in case. They sell them for $26 ea.

I installed some Fog lights on my coupe.
They were cheap, (obviously) but I wanted fogs badly on a budget.
I still have to paint surrounding the switch. It got scratched when I was cutting it out, so I sanded it and am gonna use touch up paint in black so it kinda matches the cruise and sunroof switch.

How does it look considering it only cost $15?:rock:

Doesn't look bad, though now the headlights look pretty antiquated so I'd change those up.

Quick pic with my phone after a wash
Can't really tell from a picture, the wheel sizes are different

Looks great!

Well the low life was fun for about four hours or so.

I realized I was barely sitting above my bumpstops. Also was rubbing a bit of the fender-liner. So I raised it back up with the Eibach's still in, sitting about exactly where I was all the way down on the springs before. Still making a terrible noise when going over either bumpy patches of the road. So gotta figure that out tomorrow also.

I hear you, Evan. After seeing how beat the underside of the car gets from being as low as I am, as well as the abuse the lip kit, etc takes I've decided to raise it a little. It's not worth having to get stuff fixed.
