Coconut: How did the retrofit turn out?
Just got home and this was waiting for me. [IMG]http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psesn5rnyi.jpg[/IMG]
Just put 6k hids in my fogs...had yellow film over them already...turned out in a tennis ball color...What yall think? Probably will go to like 4.3 or 5k http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...d5696bb098.jpg
If your looking for that "jdm yellow look" get 3000K.
Projectors done. And loving them

Projectors look great, and that is definitely a good looking front end.
I need to retrofit!
@ M-ROD thank you.
@oakrdrs, thought you had projectos?
Those projectors really set things off, nice job. Question though, with your lip, did the ducts near the bottom cause an issue when fitting?Cause I saw someone with an 8ga with the same lip saying they protrude out the back and hit the bumper
Great job man, clean retrofit! I need to do this myself lol.Quote:

Got a break from the weather (37 degrees) so I decided to get on some maintenance I've been needing.
Replaced the radiator
Replaced Coolant Temp Sensor
Installed anti-foulers on the o2 sensor to clear my P0421 cat code.
So far so good and feeling accomplished.

Thank you and I have the lip lined perfectly with edge of the bumper that those ducts that protrudes sit perfectly under that part of the bumper and I also made some brackets for reinforcement . I will post some pictures so you can see how I did it. Hard to explain.Quote:

Yeh, mine cracked right at the seam and it was starting to leak a lot. Surprisingly, that was the radiator that survived my crash.
I went with a Denso one from NAPA. Cost me $115. Direct fitment
Thank you sir, step son works at napa so I will hit him up.
Other way around.Quote:

Ever heard someone talking about a classic or older car, "The A/C was retrofitted with 134a"
Meaning it was R12 and now the newer 134a.
But I see what you did there, you took the root word "retro" meaning older style and "fit" meaning adapted and combined them resulting in "old style adapted" which implies new adapted to old. Make sense? Probably not!
Ah yes! The english language, unlike the metric system, it doesn't make sense.
^ well said
I was totally with palmz on this one...never understood that name
That's like the only 8gb front I have ever liked coco! Bad fucking ass!!! Still jealous of your car XD

It's because everything is derived from Latin ����
^^^They try.
I had to search why "colonel" is pronounced "kernel"
In spanish and italian it has an R, english languge made it dumb by switching the R for an L, but they wanted to keep the heritage of the pronunciation with an R.
Thanks fellows,shes my favorite so she has to look pristine;).

Looks good. Nice and bright.
Thank you sir. Major difference in output from halogen.
Funny looking back on the previous page you guys mentioned replacing the rad. Well I joined the club yesterday, cause mine cracked so I got a shop to replace it. So thats my latest purchase lol.
And thanks for the info on the lip coconut. If you do do a write up I'll keep an eye out. Kinda want something diff than mugen style since most of my friends with civics and accords have one lol
No problemo.. There is a tute on it. I made some brackets for mine thats all the difference from the write up.
And still have to change my radiator.
Going with a mishimoto one coco?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Demond I'm still contemplating which one I want to go with. Haven't found a mishimoto for a decent price. Any suggestions? Any links ?
If you're auto idk because of the trans cooler...but for manual the 3G eclipse ones fit and you just modify the bottom mounts a little...all my info is old because it's a pain in the dick to find anything...but idk if they have made any better fitting ones. There was discussion about using an evo one but idr what happened with it...
eBay wants $255 for them. Could probably find used somewhere idk...decided I didn't need it and dropped the search. Deleted my links too, sorry bro
