Kind of wish I would've stuck around now, but I had to finish my own car. Looks good.

I currently have the fogs setup in the highbeam location until I get tthe factory HIDs wired up correctly...

Also thinking about switching the fogs with the high beams since they have the same bulbs... having my high beams in the bumper lights and having the yellow fogs on the inside of the headlight next to the grill.

That front end looks legit, is it just a newer year? and what after market wheels are those?

The big wheels posted up a bit ago are 19x8 +35 Racing Hart Evo's.

And yes, the new front end is off the same model RL, but it's the 99-04 front end... Just like the Ek's had the EM1 front end facelift, the Integra too... The RL got the same treatment. So pretty much it was another car that got the Zenki and Kouki front ends.

New front end looks great, the wheels look an inch too big though, i'd like to see 18"s with some dish

Hard to find a set of wheels for a Honda that would give you a big dish. I'm working on it, but considering the crappy offsets that we have, it takes some work, but I'll get there
