finally off from work and got a few things done over the weekend.
got a nice package from three.fivese. progress rsb ftw!!!



I was kinda stoked to work on the car since it's been 2 months since i did anything to the car


install took a good 1 hour since alcohol was a major factor for goofying around.




tools used for install

breaker bar
2 jack stands
a jack
17mm socket
17 open end wrench
4 way
bottle of hypnotik to keep things interesting

 

both bars next to each other (progress on top/oem on bottom)


for future reference for anybody who plan on installing this RSB, i noticed on the oem bar has a white paint stripe around the bar on the passenger side so install the progress bar in the same way as the oem.



after lubing the bushings onto the bar, install that bisshhh.



as for how the car handles now, there is a substantially drop in body roll. it handles great!

after that i wanted to black out my headlights.

 

 

next mod i'm looking to do with the headlight is to replace the amber
with a clear piece like on this write up Headlight clearing mod

feel free to criticize me

 

meh, didnt want to see your big dumb head

 

hahaha niiiice. that's what the girlfriend just said.
if it's too much head in this thread. i'll remove my pic. haha

 

Simple and clean the way it should be. Great job on the headlights btw.

 

man i wanna paint my headlights so badly, i just dont have the nuts to do it. lol

 

Headlights look good...

 

progress ftw.

those headlights came out VERY nice

 

That looks really hott. I like that. That will be one of the next things I will be doing. I want to black them out. The progress is great also! Looking nice!

 

headlights look great

 

Hell yea, agreed I cant bear to do it.

Look hot

 

But seriously, you definately feel a difference with the RSB and great job on the headlights, its makes a huge difference in looks.

 

headlights looks awesome! thats flat black right?....
get some rubbing alcohol and gently buff off that scuff on your bumper. Unless you got a buffer of course.

 

How hard was it to do the headlights!? I just picked up a set of 6.5 lights and want to paint them before install. Car is looking good!

 

looks good man... now clean that black smudge off your bumper! lol.

 

cars looking sexy bro. just needs a nice drop and a front grill and i think ull be set

 

You got mad skilz. I still can't believe how you guys take $1K headlights and split them open like a toy. That takes some major *****.

 

Good job dude! The headlights look AMAZING in person. i had no idea u did the RSB.. thats awesome dude. Great job!!

"didnt wanna see youre big dumb head" hahahhahaahahahahahhahahahaha

 

we need that write up on doing those headlights like that lol

 

big dumb head checking in.
thanks for the comment guys. appreciated it.
as for the headlights, they're pretty easy to do. just bake em and open them up. the most time consuming part is prep and paint (sanding, primer, etc.) a friend of mine open his up on his RSX and painted them without sanding or primer and amazingly they still held up for 2 years. you can do either way but painting them without sanding/primer, chances of the paint flaking are more prominent.

 

looks good. i Like how the headlights came out, nice contrast with the white body.

 

yo car is cross eyed



headlights came out great
