Due to the shitstorm we've had, my lip has been removed. There was about 8" of snow in the driveway when I left this morning. The rain has washed/melted most of the snow away, but now we've got small rivers crossing the roads out here. It's been raining for around 2 solid days. Wind picked up a few hours ago, making the weather officially nasty.

I was headed the same route but OEM corners were too expensive so I got clears!
Since it was in an accident earlier last year, they couldn't replace my amber corner so they replaced it with an OEM corner. Actually, both corners are OEM equivalent corners. Luckily, they replaced the bumper signal with a Stanley because I told them I didn't like the fitment of the aftermarket replacement they installed.
The headlights are those aftermarket projector style headlights, originally meant for halogen bulbs. I'm running HIDs - some day I'll actually get a proper retrofit. I also have an OEM spoiler and a Vigor flushmount style spoiler awaiting installation. I have some BMW projectors, but I figured out they were also for halogen bulbs.

And the H too... Damn I need to keep up lol.
By the way the grill is a Blizzgrill. Looks pretty close, and it's good enough for my wallet. Plus, I modified mine so it didn't stick out as far as the G Squares do.

I trimmed the edge that meets up with the crossmember between teh grill and the radiator. That, and I trimmed the whole area about 1/8" before I drilled the holes for the screws. When I first got it, the grill suck out almost an inch past the headlights. Now it's about 1/4 - 1/2". IMO it looks better.

Finally got some of my electrical anomalies worked out. Accord alternators are : Prelude alternators are !
No more random battery light flashing on me. Also found out that Optima batteries, once drained from lights being left on or whatever, do NOT properly recharge off the alternator power. They have to be trickle charged over the course of a few days.
The best thing is, I paid more for the Accord alternator than the cost of the Prelude alternator, so I got the charger for free. Also picked up some new horns and a replacement wagon caliper to fix the stupid leaking seals on one of mine.
