I started reorganizing my plans after pulling the cover off to check something out on the car a few weeks back. with the car cover on it, and those nasty wheels sticking out, I forgot how nice this thing looks.
with the way my winter went, I opted to not do all the work to the 20v at this time. so I started putting stuff back together yesterday, since it was 85 degrees out. a few things from that long list will be done now or over the summer, but next winter I plan on doing the work now...fingers crossed. so I put all the ITB stuff back on and put a longer fuel feed line on and put the filter in the oem location, so I can install the ITG filter on.
also pulled the zenki corners and sanded the housings, then polished the lenses. a few blemishes on them so ill have to put a light layer of glaze on them, then paint them.
once its on the road again, ill start on refinishing these.

Sweet! Saw your pics a few days ago on fb. Any difference in rigidity with the swangbiz bar? How heavy are they?

I never had the oem mounts, but the bar is solid. thinking about adding extra mounts since it only utilizes 2 top holes, not all 8. I have some plans for the future with it. the best part was the fitment, do messing around tweaking things. bolt up and go.

So the bumper's just held by those two top holes? I'd be so scared of losing it... Let us know about those plans to hold it from other spots

the 2 rear holes, then the 2 in the fender wells at the front most corners, then one on each side below where the rear side markers would be. 6 in total

Hey morgan,
How did you polish the lenses? I'd like to try this on the translucent plastics on my car

Meguirs plastic polish. in the 2nd pic you can se the bottle. I masked off everything but the lenses as you see, then used some 800 grit paper to smooth it out, then a finer grit, followed by the plastic polish and a clean rag...aka a tshirt I cut up for just this stuff.

Cool, thanks for the info!
Does it matter if you wet sand or dry sand? Also, no issues sanding the raised lettering on the lenses?

Any time. The lenses were very clean, minimal sanding done and i left the lettering. I have another jdm set i might do that to.
