Not sure if that part of the dash is different between our models, I have an '02, but the middle vent for the windshield, it is a separate piece in the dash.

A common issue people have is that it squeaks. Yours looks like it's part of the dash and you can't remove it.

I can see if I can find a pic of it online, but I don't have a shot of mine.

Yeah, you're not really missing much not seeing pics of my car. All in due time, though.

Hmm not quite sure what you're talking about .. If you can get a pic then I'd understand. I know I don't have any squeaks from the dash though.

You see the openings along the bottom of the winshield, for the defrost, that part.

In my car, I think it's removable, and it can be painted, but it doesn't look like that in your car.

Finally confirmed spring rates today, went with 600/450 (10.7k/8k) The vendor said GC is backed up with custom rate orders, so we’ll see how long it takes to get em.

Guess I’m not in a rush since it’s Spring and for some reason it’s still snowing. :rolleyes:

CB, awesome, congrats on the purchase.

Looking forward to seeing the new stance and hearing your feedback on the new setup.

I just had a look, I don't think I can remove it. It's all just one piece with the dashboard.

Congrats Chris! Hopefully they don't take too long to get them made and shipped out to you. I'd love to see your car sitting lower with your vs-xx's

Washed my car at the carwash with the high pressure hose today.

Bought a tridon EP34 flasher unit from the autoparts store but it's bigger than the stock flasher unit. I had to take it out of its casing and trim it down for it to fit in the socket. Once I got it to fit I just stretched the original honda casing over it to somewhat protect the circuit board.

I think the reason it doesn't fit because its the 'heavy duty' version. I didn't see any standard size ones.

Comparison:

The indicating sound is also somewhat more 'hollow/echoey' with the new flasher. I kind of like change .. haha

Also went to two stores looking for flat black dupli color vinyl and fabric paint but they both were out of stock .. Going to go again tomorrow because they're on sale lol.
