    Ill have to peep them out. I dipped one wheel yesterday in gunmetal....did not like it one bit. Now im stuck with 3 cans and nothing to paint. Leaning toward all black with gloss finish. Great thing about the dip is it peels right off.

    I also think I'm missing a few parts, I looked at some other Ground Controls online and I saw some things I was missing. Im going to call them and ask what all comes with the set up.

    Well im waiting until I sell my tires and snow chains to put them on. That money is going to front and rear camber kits. I don't want to drop it and ruin my tires. In the meantime I just dipped my wheels Gunmetal. Hows life in So Carolina??

    I would have wanted to keep them. But it was going to cost too much to mod them to fit. They were 1 inch longer than the E, so it would have fit. But I would have had to cut them, then mold them back, and then decide if I wanted to mount them under the E side skirts, or find a way t replace the E's. If you look at your E, you will see that in the rear, the side skirt goes up behind the rear door.. So I would have to cut and mold that into the RSX, or find a piece of plastic to fill that area in.. its a project, but just not for me right now. I also havent really been putting any $$ into my E. Ive been putting most of my money into my Harley Nightster

    it doesnt look like people are interested, and thats good for you. Its a good price. and you will definitely want to keep your stock suspension after. no matter what.

    i have 2 small issues. 1. the fronts creak a little bit when turning. there is a fix for it. i can send you the link, when i find it. 2. definitely get the upgraded rear spring if you plan on carrying more than 1 passenger . if i have people in the back, the fenders/wheel wells will rub on the tires. and definitely on the tires that i sold you. my rear fenders are basically gone, underneath.. i habe a 2 finger gap all the way around.

    i think you can get a hood on ebay for ~$200+ shipping. or try a junkyard.. but if those dont work, then i guess go for it!

    Yea I used to have a carbon hood. It was (i think) the only brand out there.. VIS. I got it used on the trading post. It was pretty nice. I remember weighing it, and it was only 17lbs. Good luck finding a used one. The new ones are $700+shipping (or maybe 500, but its still not really worth it..)

    I think it was just a lucky search on my part. eBay searched ses1726 and saw it at 40% off for $380 with a best offer. I just put in $300 thinking he would counter, but accepted!

    Seller ID is
    http://myworld.ebay.com/ccmllc20/?_trksid=p4340.l2559 and the box had Amazon address. My guess he works with damaged stuff from Amazon. He said box was damaged, but just a few tears.
    I'm keeping an eye out for an Injen sp1727

    Hope that helps

    Hey, thanks for the compliments on my E! Sorry for the delay, I was in Europe all month and didn't have computer access. Tint is 15%, which basically matches the factory tinted glass. The Gobi rack was reaaaally overpriced. I got it for a steal at $1,000 -- you can probably look at ebay, etc., and try to find a good price on it. I love it though -- it's really low profile, looks great, and is super sturdy. It also came with a ladder for the back that I never put on! I hope that was helpful!
