I'm currently buying all the parts I need for an automatic-to-5speed tranny swap. I have about 3/4 of the parts I need. The swap will be completed before December, but hopefully much sooner.

I got this steering wheel for Christmas and just had it installed by Lance, a local Honda technician. Mad props to him for getting it wired correctly, as the airbag is fully functional, as well as the horn, and cruise control! It came from a 2002 Honda S2000 and feels so much better than the stock wheel. Love it, love it!
I'll get better pics later.

I finally blacked out my stock headlights, with some Krylon Fusion for plastic paint (gloss black). I followed Viper's DIY on how to do this, but I did NOT sand the chrome pieces...didn't feel it was necessary. Here's the link:

For those who remember, I had some ricer tails but I bought some stockers. They didn't stay bright red for long though, I put the smoke tint from www.headlightarmor.com on them. This look is so much cleaner to me.
This is with the parking lights on.

Finally! A new mod! I bought these OEM aero side skirts for $490.00 from the dealership, since they included everything to install them myself as well as the honda tech install instructions! I'll post some better pics later.
For about $330, I bought Unorthodox Racing's underdrive pulley kit. The pulleys are much lighter and give some much needed horsepower. I actually had the Honda dealership install these pulleys and new belts for $90(labor only).
STOCK: Crankshaft pulley 6lbs, 3.2 oz
UR: Crankshaft pulley 1 lb, 5.0 oz!!!
STOCK: Power Steering pulley 10.4 oz
UR: Power Steering pulley 5.6 oz!
STOCK: Alternator pulley 7.6 oz
UR: Alternator pulley 3.4 oz!
(I weighed the pulleys on a post office type mail scale)
Obviously, the crankshaft pulley is the most significant, and the engine feels like it runs so much smoother and easier, especially at highway speeds. UR recommended new Gates belts from Napa auto store. I love these pulleys.
