UPDATED: Page 2 56K Warning! (pictures of things that came in the mail!)

I just bought this car, while stationed over here in Germany. Its a 2004 SSM Type-S. It's got about 40500 miles.

My camera is dead, I'll get new pictures when I can find a battery for my DSLR. These photos are from the dealer.

Since then the previous owner reinstalled the A-Spec Spoiler. She also managed to roll into something in the back and so I have a little bump on the rear bumper, which will be fixed soon.

So far I've removed the stupid Mud Flaps, and I have a few things on order...

JDM ITR Headlights (arrived)
JDM ITR Honda Emblems Front and Rear (arrived)
OEM Front License Plate Holder (currently it's bent and screwed to the body)

nice, cant wait to see it with the mods installed

Thanks. Just waiting for everything to show up in the mail. :thumbsdow

Careful now I might try to steal your car in Germany. :rotfl:

I didn't block out the plates. The dealer did that.

Unless you've got a Military ID card and some big balls I don't think you'd get my car anyways.

 

[SSM]

so theres no modded pics? disappointed... get modding!!! lol

Hey, I've only had it for like 8 days. Waiting on the stuff to come in the mail!

i really dont like the stock headlights

I'm with ya, the JDM lights give a whole new look to the front end.

 

[SSM]

SSM ftw!!!!11

Sir, you speak the truth.

 

[SSM]

Thanks for all the comments. Even though there isn't much to see just yet. I'm still waiting for my parts to come in.

Next thing on my list is some sort of suspension work. I'm thinking Mugen SS.

I'll keep this thread updated!

 

[SSM]

are you going to bring it back
from when youre done being stationed?

i've always wondered about that.

Yes. It's US Spec, so no import issues. Military covers it. I'll just be with out a car for about a month or so, and when it gets to me it'll need a detailing

Update:

ITR Front and Rear Emblems arrived.
ITR Headlights arrived
Touch up Paint arrived.

Pictures of above should come tonight. And I'll install as soon as we get a dry day over here in Germany.

 

[SSM]

sigh, why change the emblems..

Because I want to.

Also because I'm in Europe, and I can get away with... Oh and because I want to.

 

[SSM]

its an acura, not a honda

:stfu: Are you serious?

I didn't know that.

How about you go up your post count by searching for everyone with Honda badges on their car. It's not your car, so don't worry about it.

BTW, over here, this car IS a Honda. Acura doesn't exist. So if I want my car to say honda on it, then it will.

 

[SSM]

up my post count?

why would i need to do that? lol

okay ricer, go ahead and spend the 100 bucks or so on some emblems and put em on your stock ACURA

How do you figure I'm a ricer? Because I'm installing parts that don't make the car go faster?

I've bought only JDM Honda parts. Things that come on this car overseas. I like the way they look, if thats rice, I'm a ricer.

If you look at the thread, You see I just bought the damn car, and I live in Germany. It's not like I can over night go fast parts to please some jack ass in a civic.

I don't get how you're trying to make me your person you choose to preach your anti Honda emblem bullshit. My comment about your post count is referring to the hundreds of threads with people having JDM emblems, that you could go and spread your wisdom in.

But the reason I don't have to go all out on go fast parts right off the bat is because I'm pleased with my performance of my car right now. I'm sorry if you cant say the same about your civic.

 

[SSM]

100$ couldve went towards a good suspension, or anything

Yeah, because I drained my savings to buy those emblems.

To each their own.

Moving on...

 

[SSM]

So back on topic...
I got a bunch of my parts in today. It's too damn dark to go take pictures of the car, and its too wet and cold to install anyways.

Hopefully Sunday/Monday I'll have this stuff installed.

JDM ITR Honda Emblems:

JDM Headlights:

Touch Up Kit FTMFW!:

Honda Center Caps (not here yet, ordered from CRSX Member: IaNZ EP):

DIY Honda Remote Key (not here, just ordered from CRSX Member: Fanger)

I'm going to try and resize these soon, some are way too big. And the quality sucks anyways. But thats what I've got so far!

 

[SSM]

nice

Thanks, I hope to have installed the headlights/emblems by Tuesday. I've got Sunday and Monday off so lets hope for some dry weather.

 

[SSM]

damn... everyone who is complaining... shut the fuck up.

looks good man! +rep

Thanks!

As for the color matching, it's not such a big deal to me. I can always do it down the line if I really want to.

 

[SSM]

^Hmm. ALright. Shoulda read instead of browsed.

No prob... BTW I might know some people out at Barksdale. What's your job? PM me some time.

 

[SSM]

New pictures of JDM emblems, headlights and center caps installed...

More pictures coming soon....

I have no idea why photobucket takes so long to upload to... but if you're reading this within the last few minutes I posted, its still uploading... I've got two photos for now, more coming soon.

 

[SSM]

good luck modding.. cant wait to see the updated pics!

Thanks man, they should be uploaded now. I've got to edit the rest. Only a few shots were taken. I wasn't really suppose to be there.

 

[SSM]

reminds me of my ssm

SSM FTW!

 

[SSM]

car looks good, any plans on a lip or kit of some kind would set off nice...good job so far

JDM Type R kit all around, eventually.

The Autobahn is terrible on these cars. So I'm debating waiting till I get back home.
