Looks good, but I would probably remove the roof-rack. You might want to consider shaving the side moldings; it really makes the car look sleeker IMO. Also, don't worry about the bra. I have used them for years and as long as you remove it occasionally for wash and wax the paint will be just...

Butt ugly. Sorry. :(

I poured 3m adhesive remover around the edges and let it soak for a while. Then I gently pried it up using a plastic scraper.

Any advice on painting emblems?

I'm considering installing J-Spec exhaust and intake cams. Any thiughts on this. Worth it from a performance standpoint. How about mileage? Can't do the work myself, will it cost a lot to have them installed?

Would anyone with P5s with shaved moldings care to post pictures? I'm considering the mod but I would like to see it first. Thanks.

I'd definitely buy one!

Micah, why do you think it looks cheap? Andrew, how did you remove the moldings?

Hey everybody, I'm considering shaving the side moldings on my 2003.5 silver P5. Does anyone have any input as to this? Specifically, do you think that it seriously increases my ding susceptibility? What about how it looks? Opinions? Thanx.

38 here, 2 kids, one in high school. I don't feel old!

Great web page. I laughed my ass off. I guess I do know what a ricer is, I just never knew what they were called. We have a lot of those goofballs here in Cincinnati. Thanks

Thanks, all.

Anyone know where I gan get aluminum gauge rings? I read on the forum about getting them from "Dave B" but I don't know how to contact him. Any help? Thanks.

This may be a silly question, but what exactly is a ricer? What does it mean to say a car is "riced out"? I read it all the time on the forum and I am curious.

Some people will just never get it.

Thanks for the input, Hawkwind. I'm not really expecting much HP gain from the intake, just those things you described. How goes it in Toronto? SARS fears?

I drive a manual. Given that there will be a barely detectable difference, I think I will go with the SRI. I will save a little $ also! Thanks, Andrew.

I have a 2003.5 silver P5 too and I am always being stopped by curious strangers. Many of them think that it must be a way expensive foreign job and have never heard of the P5. I'm fine with that. If as many people had P5s as Civics or Jettas I'd have to drive something else. The car is Great!

Thanks for all the input guys. I had been considering the short ram, and I think that that is the direction I will go if only to have one less worry, albeit remote, in my life. Do you think there is a substantial difference between short ram and CAI?

Hey, All! I'm considering adding an Injen CAI and I read somewhere about the possibility of water being sucked up into the engine b/c of where the filter pokes out under the car. Is this a realistic worry? Thanks for any input! Dee
