Mikey's 2001 V6 Coupe

[puzzlemaster94]

These in 12...

I really like the civic HFP wheels but they're so damned expensive!

Oh I know about the HFP wheels. I want some, just because I think the dark bronze would really look nice on DEP's.

And on the 2012 rims, Ive thought about those. But some guy wants 1,800 for just rims. Not going to happen.

P.S: I dont blame you on the used suspension at all. If I had the funds, I would have went new for sure. But I took a leap of faith, so to speak haha

Was gonna put my summer wheels on, seeing as how it's approaching April, but...ya know...it's snowing.

I don't think HFP has come out with a bad wheel design yet.

Too bad they are so expensive because those would look great on the Coupe, Mr. Mikey.

Jon might sell his 17" HFP's, Mike. There's a pic of them in his MR if you're interested. The Si wheels look great on your coupe too.

Forgot to add these here, lol. Cleaned and buffed/polished my exhaust. Just the tips ( ) and the mufflers. Once I got the inside of the tips done I saw the sad state the mufflers were in and had to do them as well. All told, I spent about 2 hours and only used steel wool, comet, water, and a rag. Shined em up with windex, steel wool and a clean towel. I'm happy with the results.

I didn't wanna fork out $10 for a tiny bottle of Mothers so I picked up a $3 can of NEVR-DULL. Which didn't work as well btw. I made a paste of comet and water. Rubbed it on and dipped the steel wool in it and just scrubbed, scrubbed, scrubbed. I'd wipe it clean with water and a rag and then keep at it. Finished it by spraying windex on everything, rubbing it with clean steel wool and then wiping it clean with a dry towel.

I should add, the tips were the only thing that needed the comet. The mufflers just needed a good spray, wipe and buff.

The tips. Mirrored.

The mufflers. Shiny and reflective but not very mirrored.

And the "damage" that the steel wool did to the inside of the tips. Minor scuffs, nothing serious.

Also put the Si's on. One of the tires had a nail in it when I took them off back in November but it held, and is holding, air.

The next things on my list are finding a way to cover/patch the hole in my intake, polishing the outside of my headlights, and get a replacement cassette adapter.

Nice job, they look brand new from a few steps back.

Sweet that the Si's are back on!

Being only a couple years old, if that, they still have some luster. Obviously though, the pipes are pretty gnarly. I might polish them up one day. Maybe. Lol.

Alex(Le) is going all out with his and wet-sanding with like 2500 grit paper, lol. I just might go that route one day but keeping on that is difficult. If I had a stanced, hellaflushed TSX or something, maybe, lol. Or even just lowered. In the mean time,they look much better than they did before.

Nice job, they look brand new from a few steps back.

+1. The muffler looks mirrored to me.

 

[Mikey]

When my buddy came over to test fit my wheels on his s2k, he asked me if it was new cuz he had never noticed it being so shiny before, lol.

Mikey are your mufflers stock. I would love to do that to mine if I can get the same results.
Looks really good man.
