Default Cleaned my car up a little today

I've had my car for almost a year, so I decided to take care of it a little today. I got new yokohama s. drives mounted today, polished my headlights and fogs, and washed the car.

I prefer black/black, but settled for white/tan. It is a tanabe medallion touring axleback.

It is 4300k I think. It is a tsx retrofit with RX300 bulbs and ballast and a custom hid harness made by me. The hid retrofit parts moved on to my sc from my old accord. The fogs are piaa plasma ion yellow bulbs.

When I was shopping for my car in 9 months I only found 1 97+ black/black and it was trashed. The week after I bought my SC I saw a perfect 98 black/black for sale that had lower mileage and was cheaper then my car, so I was sad for like a week or two.

The TSX retrofit was only about $400 bucks and was a straight forward diy job. I did it all in 1 day, but screwed it up, and had to redo 1 of the headlights the next day.

Wow those fogs cleaned up nicely! Is that Tanabe Medallion touring exhaust I see? You wouldn't happen to have a sound clip, would you? ..I'm planning on getting that as well. I love how it looks even on a stock SC.

I used menzerna intensive polish + a rotary buffer. It is paint polish, but the cut is strong enough to remove the light oxidation.

You should have seen my car before, we have the same commute for like 10 miles down the 405.

No sound clip, but there is one made by another member on youtube if you search tanabe medallion.
