i plan on reducing the nitrous to a 75 wet only system. The car should be fine since i followed the GM ecotec build guide to the T to support 500chp. Though that is not my goal, my goal is only to reach somewhere around 380 to 420 chp (i'll be happy with reaching 380chp not on the bottle)

im not arguing with you or anything of the sort. those are just things that i've liked and wanted on my first car but didnt have the money to do it.

I never do things that are considered "the norm" or "popular" or "flavor of the month" what ever you want to call it. I always do things different. I dont bash other peoples cars for what they do to it. Nor will i ever.

So those arn't things that you are into, thats cool. And besides even if i wanted to i couldnt delet those from my list since they have already been purchased and are sitting at my parents house waiting for me to come back from deployment.

sorry if this is coming across like a dick or something. that was def not my intentions.
Like I said, I'm with you except for the lambo doors, altezza tails, and halo headlights. Those always detract from a serious looking car. I'm not saying you should make a cookie cutter car, I'm just hoping it doesn't look like a riced Honda from the late 90s. There are reasons that you don't see that stuff much anymore, and reasons why that stuff never became popular with the hardcore tuning crowd.
If you do those things, you're still doing "flavor of the month", but it was flavor of the month 10 or more years ago. Well, people still do it I guess, but it's too painful to mention.

yeah i understand where you are coming from. and i do have to take back what said about making fun of someones car. this one guy fabricated his one wing and hood scoop. but what was retarded was that it was a hood scoop you see on funny cars at the drag strip. but i didnt publicaly make fun of him. just kinda snickered to myself.

i can see where these kinds of things are "ricey". if i dont like how it will look i can always sell them off to someone else. the lambo doors i think ill like though. the headlights, im not so sure about yet. its something i have to see on my car first before i make my final choice. and the tail lights i think look better then the factory one's. simply because the ones i have picked out arn't chrome at all. it has a clear lens, a red circle or ring so to speek with white trim around it and red LED lights. I'm really just trying to capture the LED look more then anything else.

Umm..until you boost the Honda.. Beating a N/A Honda with a turbo 2.4 isn't that hard to do.

It's something your car will never do.
