Thank you! You can get pretty much any 2d design you want etched onto the lens, takes customizing your headlights to a whole new level.

When I put the HKS axleback on I also went ahead and got Uprev put on the car. Baselined at 281whp and after a few runs it made 287whp, not much but will be taking the uprev off. Ecutek will be on the car in the next couple week and tuned to be a flex fuel car so we can get some more data for our tuners.

Great build so far. Can't wait to hear some exhaust clips.

I've always thought singles had a slighly more higher pitch JDM exotic sound and dual exhaust and even more so on x pipes and H pipes have a deeper lower growl.

Have you looked into getting the other side of the bumper exhaust outlet covered and blended into the bumper so it looks like the single exit was factory? Would look pretty awesome that way I think.

Great to see you today Kevin! Thanks for sharing the details of your G. Very clean and has to be one of my favorite LP sedans so far.

If you happen to come across any full headlights, let me know and I will be on them. Been wanting to do mine for a while.

Piping just came in yesterday, waiting for a lift to clear up so I can finish this thing. Stay posted tonight!

I don't care much for the duals, unless it were a true dual. The single is more than enough for the power lever I will be at for now, until the motor comes out.

It was nice to see you agian. No problem, the build will come slowly and it'll be update here once parts start rolling in. Until then, my car is stock asides from what you see here.

I'll keep you posted, I found mine on the facebook group. Bought 4 lights for $200.

I think you may have misread, I think the single can you are doing is unique and awesome, and I bet it will sound better than my true duals on my car. Our engines seem to have a higher pitch more skyline like with the single can. (Coupes) always sound better to me than the sedans too.

However what I was saying if you had a bodyshop fill in the exhaust outlet you're not using on the bumper so it only had a single exit would look awesome like this:



Obviously s2000 but same idea, custom single exit bumper on car with dual exhaust.

Totally misread that. LOL, but yeah. I like the sound of a single as well, plus it is a simpler look. Weight savings as well, getting the parts ready for the future so I don't have to buy things twice.

I see, I should be able to get a body shop to do this for me. Looks clean on the s2000!

I was skeptical on this as there weren't many reviews on this box, but fitment is on point and I can't complain about it.

Exhaust is finally on. Got it installed last night, finished around midnight. Sound clip of it starting up is on my instagram. Sounds a lot meaner and came out nice IMO. Onto some photos.
