Hello all!

New CP3 owner here. Coming from the evo world. Previously had an evo 8. It caught a little too much attention (good and bad), so got myself something that can fly under the radar.

Not planning to do too much power-wise. Just simple bolt-ons like a j-pipe, air intake, coilovers, for now... lol

Exterior wise all I'd change is the front grille, debadge the rear emblems, some new wheels, and a tint.

The real heart of the car will be the sound system. I've got an Alpine Halo 9 head unit ready to go, along with some Morel Virtus Nano Carbon components, Audison amp, Alpine PWE S8, and a wholllllllllle bunch of installation things. Just need to find time and energy to get around installing everything. The stock sound system is terrible! Ugh!

Does anyone know if I remove the rear Honda badge, will there be 2 holes left behind? I really don't want to remove it, put some elbow grease in removing the glue, only to find 2 holes that I'd have to fill up with bondo or something.

That engine is CLEAN!
Welcome to DA. Beautiful car! Yeah, engine spotless. Nice going!

Thank yall. You guys aren't the first to mention that haha its surprisingly in such good nick for its age!

So I had some clear, dry road last night. Some spirited driving here and there. Can definitely feel the weight of the car. Need to upgrade the brakes and/or rotors now. There were a few times where I expected it to pull up quicker. Its fine for "normal driving", but not when I want to give it a spurt now & then. Or maybe I'm expecting a little too much coming from my evo haha
J-pipe and a manifold spacer will give it a lot more midrange grunt, but it's still a kinda heavy car putting power through a kinda slushy 5-speed auto.
Yes, there are two alignment holes behind the H on the trunk. The other emblems do not have these.

No movement in terms of modifications yet, been too busy with life. Here's some more random amateur night shots. Saw a random sculpture and thought I could incorporate it somehow.
