(Maybe this will make it to sticky status one day   )

This is pretty straight forward.  Share with the community those mods or projects that you've had on your "to-do" list for your ride for the longest time, but you've just never gotten around to yet due to money constraints, lack of time, procrastination (a big one for me), not enough experience, etc..  This isn't to say that these mods or projects are hoped to be done before you bite the dust (that'd be too depressing), but rather a discussion of those things that just haven't been taken care of and the clock is ticking away.  It'll be interesting to see if some of us share the same to-do list and can help another member with crossing off an item from their own bucket list.  Sometimes motivation from others is key to kicking procrastination in the behind.  So, here's my list at the moment:

1.  Custom-mount my Inspire-style fogs into my 03-05 front bumper
2.  Remove coilovers so I can replace the corroded rubber spring seats and clean the threads
3.  Get damage and paint imperfections on front & rear bumpers fixed
4.  Fix yellowing of current headlights, or just buy a decent retrofit and hid them
5.  Redo all the piping of my custom exhaust
6.  Maybe get a new auto tensioner?
7.  Maybe install a small, discrete subwoofer?
8.  Maybe get re-tinted in a very light shade (50%)?

Post away people...

Here's the list of shit I have on deck right now.  I'll even give my excuses.

• rear drum to disc conversion - not enough time or a place to do the work
• front and rear BBK upgrade - waiting to do the rear drum to disc conversion
• aftercooler heat exchanger and pump install - not enough time or a place to do the work
• relocate my battery down to my sub frame - need money to get a battery box/tray to weld to my sub frame and time to do it
• aftercooler ice box install - need to relocate my battery first
• water methanol install and tune - need to relocate my battery first
• wire up my PLX temperature sensors - not enough time
• rewire my trunk lights - too cold and wet outside
• reconfigure my stereo set up in the trunk - waiting for warm weather
• paint - not enough time

Here's mine:
TSX 6 spd conversion - no money
RSX-S head swap - no money and need new pistons
09 TSX pistons - no money
KPRO - no money
JRSC - finding one in good shape isn't easy and no money
18" Enkei RPF1's in flat black - lack of funding
245/45/18 Bridgestone Potenzas - no wheels to put them on and no dinero
OEM navi conversion - the skrilla isn't there
Custom paint - no time
OEM front lip and HFP coupe rear lip - no time or money
Custom FG box for sub - no time

There's more but that's the bigger stuff.

1. Drop - No money afraid to be lowered in RI roads suck!
2. Audio Upgrades - Money
3. New Front Seats  - Hard to find
4. Borla Cat Back - This will happen when the weather changes the parts are already aquired.
5. Head lights - No money/ dont know which direction to go.

1. Fix the rest of my paint
2. Admire

Short huh?

Damn, looks like at some point I'll have to list the "whys" for each specific goal to describe the reasons for their lack of being accomplished.  
And Tim, remember that you are always free to use my garage for your projects as long as we plan it out in advance.  Also, haven't you been wanting to reconfigure your stereo setup in your trunk for like 3 years??    (I know, I'm a dick)

Thanks for the offer Dave.  I may take you up on that.  I've been meaning to upgrade my trunk set up for a while.  I just got the amps and subs I wanted last summer, so it hasn't been too long.

1. speedometer retrofit w/ manual shift gear light - $$
2. arm rests wrapped and padded - $$
3. wood grain steering wheel - $$
4. buy & mount inspire style fogs into my 06-07 coupe bumper - $$ and my time to cut the extra crap off and put it in
5. all kp technologies products bought & installed - $$
6. lots of sound deadening - $$

detailing the car **been over a year** - no time due to work. when i do have time, im either tired or the weather is crappy as of late (lots of rain)
header to complete the I/IM/H/E setup - no money or i have other impulse buys and put it off. but it will be the next thing i get with some pulleys.
tinted windows - looking for a good place to do it and money

Just call it Extreme Makeover-Honda Version  :thumbdown:
3. Type R Spark Plug Cover- Purchased but on backorder :thumbup:
5. DC Sport Strut Bar- Purchased :think:
7. Hybrid Heated Mirror with Blinker- Purchased and painted. Need to install :P
9. Major Detailing to the inside. I don't think I vacuumed once this winter

Summer 2010....can't wait

1) repaint my chipped grill - done
2) make a DIY extension tube for my SRI - too lazy and it can get expensive for the tubing, but have had recent small amounts of motivation (i'm researching on the tubing right now lol)
3) make bumper cutouts - too lazy, keep forgetting to ask a friend to help me with it
4) get TL-S FSB installed - too lazy, too expensive, going to ask the guy who did my exhaust when I go back in to have it raised after I make the cutouts
5) clean the interior leather - TOO GODDAMN LAZY  
6) install footwell lighting - attempted once, but then gave up. Going to follow Tim's advice for when I actually end up doing it
7) clean air filter - hard to tell if it's actually dirty or not, but I figure it has to be done sometime

Maybe what I should have said before was you've been wanting to "clean up the wiring" for years lol.

Started to work on crossing off one of the items on my bucket list today.  

1) Finish wiring in my fogs (Installed in bumper about 2yrs back)
2) Repaint the front and correction on the rest
3) 2nd headlight retrofit

Not too much right now, but I'm sure I'll have more to add soon

1.  Take off all mods and sell car
2.  Buy 06-07 6-speed sedan with black interior (a must!) , preferably with Navi, and in the following color in order of preference: Caron Bronze Pearl, Alabaster Silver, Blue (whatever it's called)
3.  Install previous mods
4.  Have Paul turn it into a J37 and boost it with an M90 supercharger.
5.  Have Timmy do a kick-ass stereo install that looks 100% stock in the interior and super clean in the trunk.  Arie's set-up that Tim did is my inspiration.  

Done.

... check

Haha I like.

Mine:
1. sell car, and buy 8.5 gen with new grad incentive or better yet, employee incentive

1. KILLER GLASS (Did not fit my car and Scott said they would)
2. Tim's duel fiberglass sub boxes.  (went another route) for sale cheap

^^ daamn never heard of killer glass before.. SICK!

^ whats killer glass?

- CF hood: $$$
- repaint bumpers: in the works
- go lower: currently sitting on HFP's because of shitty roads however i think i can go lower without a problem
- detail engine: time/energy

Let's see

1. light body work to fix ding/dents/scratches on my ride.
2. Put on 06-07 front bumper and Inspire fogs finally
3. Get a front lip ordered
4. Repaint the whole ride (factory finish)
5. Put on new shoes that are sitting in the corner of my room.
6. Order new tires for when the new shoes go on.
7. Look into getting a dual exhaust setup.

that's all for it and then im done!

Here's my "short" list of stuff I want to accomplish before the month is over.

• mount and balance my tires on my wheels now that they are powdercoated
• install spacers for the drivers in my doors
• install my new rear speakers
• replace a dying CCFL light in my trunk
• add more CCFL tubes under my dash and seats
• replace my h/u
• run all the lines for my aftercooler, install a relay and switch for the water pump
• run all the lines, install the control module, and switch for my water meth kit

i dont think i understand this one lol

Humm heres mines

1. install my depo headlights
2. maybe install reverse light h.i.d's
3. sea foam and oil change
4. redo my big 3 upgarde with a new redtop battery
5. install a better resonator on my exhaust so i can take silencers off my mufflers

Sorry.  I work in the audio industry and tend to use proper/technical terms.  

Driver = Speaker

I have 6.5" subs in my doors and the magnet is very big.  I need to space the speakers out a little further because if I roll my windows down, they will hit the magnet on the driver.
