ya all in all i should have around 1500-2000$ in it (including buying it for 500$) pushing 220-230hp. and at that point the car should be worth around 7000-8000$, thats about what other jdms are going for in my area.

thanx man. i was racking my brain on how to do it because its step plastic, meaning if you look at it from the side it has the shape of steps. i ended up taping a cutout of the honda emblem on the back and using a foam brush to paint the outsides. luckily the honda emblem is pretty simple.
