I'm actually more interested to see what they'll do with the front and rear lips. Apparently they're going to try and blend it with the original bumper to give it a more authentic and not a 'bolt-on' look.
I also decided to replace the gold H emblem on the front grill with the original stock silver one.

That makes absolute sense, IMO good call.

When do the expect to have that done?

Agree about the emblem.

Updated OP.

It's all done! Damn it looks sexy and clean.
The lip kit install impressed me, they did a nice job in blending the lip kit onto the main body.

I've also removed the 2.0iES badge from the rear. Kept the accord logo, because it still looks slick.

So far today, I've already had like 3 compliments from random people in the street ^_^

Rear end shot looks soo good. And of course the paintjob has done wonders for the car, looks awesome. What color was that again?

For some reason I think the back end looks better with a wider cutout for the plate.

The colour is B89P (Deep Blue Velvet). It looks slightly darker, considering it's gone back to it's unfaded paint, and it's sooooo glossy and shiny :love:

It's the most I've ever spent on this car, coming near to £3K considering that they've done a complete unseal, major rust areas reduced, rear arch repair, and added sound proofing. It came to nearly £3000. Needless to say, it's almost like I've bought a new car

... and now it appears that the muffler is on it's way out, and the catback only has about a year of life left, so now I gotta spend a little bit more money... d'oh :eusa_doh:

Still uncertain what to look in terms of specification for when buying a muffler, other than the fact that it won't be planning to add power, needs to be stainless steel, and gives off a nice modest growl that doesn't sound like a chav-racer.

Car looks fantastic, just needs a nice drop.

Even with spacers, those rims suit the car nicely as well.

Updated OP:
Magnaflow stainless catback system installed. Custom built to OEM spec (same inlet, outlet, tubing size). Makes a nice sound :)

@SykVSyx
Yeah, I'd love to drop it by an inch or so, but for now I like the way it is :) Besides... money matters >.<
