Our8thGens

Hey everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. Name is Jon. Just picked up my 09 coupe back in September. Been looking for a good forum to share ideas and talk with other 8th gen owners. Most I have found seem to be dead so I'm hoping this site has some more live in it still A little about myself. I currently work in online PPC marketing management, I am a certified auto body repair tech, a musician who's main instrument is the piano and bass guitar, and a semi-professional photographer as well. I'm also a total computer geek. I love wrenching on cars and talking shop so feel free gab away at ideas and thoughts. Always open to constructive criticism but not really down on the flame war/trolling stuff. Anyways, here are some photos of the whip as it sits, which is totally bone stock so its really nothing that people haven't seen before haha

dam those photos look like something you would see on a sales brochure. they look amazing. any plans for your car? and welcome

Thanks man I have a few plans but still debating. Currently I have just upgraded the lighting in it with 8K HID low beams and 3K HID fogs. Next will probably start with wheels & tires then suspension. From there start on the bolt on engine mods and then possibly have it wrapped. It all depends on budget and such. I love the car, I just wish there was a bigger performance aftermarket for the engine and lip kits and that Honda had equipped it with a few better standard things like larger brakes for one. The factory brakes aren't that great for such a heavy car and aftermarket like K-Sport you're looking at like $8k to do a full 4 wheel big brake kit. Regardless I plan to keep it for a few years at least and maybe during that time some new things will start coming on the market making it more customizable and can start having more fun Glad to be here and look forward to seeing everyone else projects too!

Thanks dude! Glad to be here!

Welcome to Our8thGens! Glad to have you here. As the others said, killer photos!

Killer photos, Jon. I noticed you have the deck lid spoiler. I have an 09/EX-L/4cyl, do you know of any places I can get one? I've seen them for sale on CariD, however, they are unpainted. Hit me back and let me know.

Thanks! The car came with it when I bought it but I know Honda sells them already painted for about $190. So unless you plan to get a CF one of have the car wrapped or resprayed in the near future that might be the best option outside of taking your chances on eBay.

Thanks for the info. I'll look into it more.

Here's a link to a CF one on ebay for $150 looks like a good seller.
