shot man, i think i'm going to paint my rim a different color, ever since i saw STI with gold rims I die to have gold rim on my accord, but since i already got black well pretty much i'm stuck with it. LOL then i saw someone painted his rim on here, well a lot of people do actually.
So i think my next project is going to be painting it gold. now the hard part is to find the right paint. i like red too but I think RED is just over kill huh? White is ok too hmmmm.
i guess i'll do some photoshop first to see how it looks.

SO alright let me just UPDATE ya'll on how my car witht the 5spd swap.
Ok I just pick up my car late night, it took longer than expected because of small problems. First i'm going to tell you how it run. I have to say I HAVE MUCH MUCH MORE FUN TO DRIVE now. well, since i'm just getting use to the car the driving stick, it does get frustrated sometime, and i can't drive it smoothly yet. This morning comute to work in traffic was WOW, let just say that it KEPT ME AWAKE lol.
The clutch was hard in my opinion, i'm going to see how i can make it more softer (OPEN FOR SUGGESTION,
) well, other than that, hmmm, idk what else to say, just need to get use to it.
The reason it took longer was because we had to replace a lot of things:
1. new clutch cause the one that came from the junk car was crap
2. clutch cylinder
3. new pedals cause the one from junkyard was not from 6thgen.
4. my key wasn't the original so the tune shop couldn't flash the key with the 5spd ECU. so had to pay extra to have some other guy pull the code and tune shop to flash the new 5spd ECU.
5. starter was bad had to replace that one too same as the other **** from the junkyard, this one is also ****.
So ya that pretty much it. I know this is not the product review section, but i have to give credit to Ken at TOPTUNE. He goes through step by step with me, and tell me everything that has to be replace and why, and try to find way to save me as much money as possible while doing it.
So if anyone in Socal or anywhere want to have their 6thgen convert to 5spd, i recomend to go to TopTune to do it.
First of all, i think the price is decent enough consider the parts and labor.
Second, i think you should give at least 2 weeks for the whole swap cause if everything go well, it only take couple days. I'm just saying give 2 weeks cause sometime small **** comes up and use parts not working have to replace it. So don't be disappointed. They will lend you a loaner car if you need a car to drive like me.
Well that it, i'll take some pics later, and NO TopTune didn't pay me to say all of these, i just felt like i have to give them credit for their great job.
