NICE!!

Dropped the A/C temps another 8-10*F!!!!!
Wooot!!!!!!

how many horns do you have, i see at least 3

4 - this was covered earlier in the thread but it's because we have massive pickup trucks here who can not possibly see a car as low as mine behind them and evidently my bumper is made of some mysterious magnetic plastic that seems to attract their tow bars
I need to be loud in order to be noticed and keep my front end beautiful

Fans.. what else broke?

All 3 fans at the same time - that's what is really perplexing to me. WTF does the A/C fan have to do with the radiator fans? [Absolutely nothing - I know]
It's just hard to deal with when it makes you miss an important, however assinine, meeting at work and then I gotta bug you every single time something electrical goes wrong? Not cool IMO.

Some a$$hat took a crowbar to my GT4 hood a while ago Thanks to my alarm he only got one whack at it and ran like a little b!tch.
However, a BRAND NEW ONE is coming my way in two days courtesy of Ping and Stephen!!! [If anyone wants a killer deal on a damaged but perfectly fixable GT4 hood with the factory holes for the spoiler - PM me]. Also courtesy of my Mom and lil' Bro it'll actually be painted to match the car soon. I love Christmas

Other things new:
-MSD Blaster2 Coil [Stock one took a sh!t]
-PS2
-iPhone4 connected to Kenwood DD Screen so internet, youtube, iPod functions, etc.

Oh yeah!!! I'm on broken axle#6 for this year LOL. I'd say 300whp/wtq @ 20PSI is essentially the upper limit for S54 axles.

Pics to follow

What the f^&% is he going to take if he got the hood open anyway? lmao

Oh no - he took the crowbar to it in a vandalism capacity. Some people are haters. I expect it was one of the Honda tuner kids or redneck muscle car humpers here in my neighborhood that was upset when my car showed them "The Honda View" [I can laugh about it now that I have a new hood days away ]

Can't wait to see your upcoming progress DEATH. Sorry to hear about the hood, people can be so retarded over such stupid things

Thanks bro. It's been a rough year for the car but here's hoping 2011 is a great year for her. Getting a new hood and paint on the 1st day will go a long way towards starting it correctly!

Man.. i picked up that box(the hood)... it weighed like 5lbs lol

I do believe that is the point
What's funnier is some people will ditch that in favor of carbon fibre

lol yea, the '4 hood is definetly lighter than the C/F hoods i've felt...i can lift the '4 hood with my pinkey!
cant wait to see her all done up!

did ya ever check if your dealer could get the hood, and the priice for it? im wondering who gets the better pricing here

Nice to hear your getting it matched! let me know if you need a new matching batch of paint. I can get it from the same mixers cheap, pm me how much you want for that hood

whoa....that's a lot of honkers

The new hood is installed and fitted [2 hours later - they never fit well it seems] and the car is all black now!

First the old hood and it's damage:


Off it goes [note the short sleeves in January Gotta love Tx]:


Sweet pic of the car without hood [yes that trailor was pulled 2hours with an ST with no problems ]:

Installing the new hood:


Installed ready for the hood pins:


After fitment [which if you've never done it isn't as easy as you'd think]:

Not the best pic but dark came quick. I'll get better pics tomorrow
At least she's all one color now!!!
