For black cars I used to mainly use Autoglym Fine Abrasive, followed by Menzerna Intensive Polish and Menzerna Final polished. I would top off with either Pinnacle or Autoglym Carnauba wax ( a few layers ) or Autoglym Radiant wax polish for holding up to daily driven weather conditions. The black always was spotless.

IIRC, the owner before him had the car repainted so im sure the awesomeness from that pic is because of the recent paint.

haha, very true.

You'll have to run the PFS with the hi-flow cat from Bonez. At 4000 rpm the tone changes immediately like you have VTEC yo. Running the PFS with the stock cat just gets you the same tone through out the rpm band.

Really? Me did not know this lol

Do you have that setup? Cause i have a PFS catback but with the stock cat and i think it sounds good. I do agree on the same tone but i am not sure because i never heard my car driving when im not in it lol

Does drone alot on the highway which i hate. Sweet "sound spot" is around 2900-3200rpm in 5th gear though lol

That's not going to do it. Scroll back a page or two, and you can see my authentic (w/plate) 99 spec bumper with modded 93 rebar. Fitment is perfect. This is my second 99 spec bumper, I bought a used one back in 2003 and just recently sold it to install this brand new one. In all cases, zero sag or fitment issues. Sucks, but the problem lies with the bumper.
