    No he had trouble turning on the high beams and leaving the regular headlights on, because the 98-00 used a dual filament bulb, but the 01-02 uses two separate bulbs.

    The only difference other than the front end is the trunk lights, right?
    Added: May 5, 2012 1:38 AM
    I beg to differ. Perhaps you forget how many UFO lights I really had.

    Here, let me remind you.

    No gold there are interior differences as well. And I'm sure you know the mechanical changes.

    Your car is primered and has a body kit. Mine was completely UFO'd.

    Which sides and front lip? I got rid of one set of sides, and the front lip in that pic was destroyed on a highway.

    That is my point.... that no, your car does not have so much bondo that it does not look like a 8.5gen, while I had done enough work to mine that it did not look like a 7 gen.
    Yeah, I gave those side skirts away for $50.

    Little update. Before anyone says anything' I just wanted to note that the yellow film was just a small leftover piece that my friend had so I tried it out to see what it'll look like. I cut the circles as big as I could. Just going to leave it on until my real film comes in the mail. IMG_0468 (a).jpg IMG_0465 (a).jpg

    LOL I wish mine was slammed like yours tho! The time will come where I will drop mine.
    Yeah they're zipties haha I had two holes drilled down there before where the plate used to be drilled directly onto the underside of the bumper and decided to just use zipties instead of having a bent license plate.
    && OURS DO! haha once I saw yours I had to double take because I thought it was mine haha.
    Added: May 5, 2012 6:23 AM
    Yeah! I painted that the same time I painted my bottom bumper. I was never a fan of it either especially because It only looks good on hondas imo. But it looks decent on the circular part
