I haven't had a lot of free time for photography but I took a late night cruise and got an updated picture of my car with the Koni Street struts & shocks paired with Tein S-Tech springs.

It looks a lot like my old xA.

Your xA turned out real nice! I have a long way to go before I'm done and I hope it as nice as the one you built!

Looks good. Mine were OEM but I took them apart to paint some of the chrome black and to clean the lens. This is a good set of LED bulbs if you want brighter lights. They have a cutoff shield to prevent blinding oncoming traffic. I have these on my wife's CRV and they're a lot brighter than halogen bulbs.

I'll keep those in mind! I have been thinking about taking apart the old OEM ones, painting those, and seeing if I can successfully retrofit them with projector headlights.

That's a good idea. You can probably find a new set of aftermarket plastic lenses on eBay. This is my HID retrofitted Honda HRV.

Sorry for the late reply but man, that looks good! Did you do the job yourself or did you hire a shop to do it?

Very nice! I personally like the front end updates on these. There is a grey 06 in the local junkyard and I've been wanting to do a front end swap but the color codes are slightly different and I don't want to have to repaint them.

Default Practically thrifted these wheels lol




got these off of marketplace for 250 with tires somehow. They’re super curbed and pretty crappy looking up close but they’re 17x7.5 +42 so they look way better than the stock 15” steelies.

this is an 06 that’s straightpiped and lowered on Godspeed mono SS coilovers (roughly 3” lower all around) I put 1” spacers on the rears because I like to bully my unrolled fenders. Had poly engine mounts installed and man… never doing that on a daily ever again 😂. But yeah this is my first car and just me learning how to install basic things and keep it running as long as I can. 150k miles rn. Had it for 2 years. Somehow sounds 100x better than it should be for a straightpiped 4 banger. Makes lil pops and burbles with death peddle.
