Pfft. I could have told ya that, but my opinion would be biased.

If you plan on going back to a silicone hose set in the future, shoot me a PM.

Yeah, I just threw the CX ones away. Ill probably switch back to silicon eventually, but its not on my recent purchase list.

I have still yet to put my side markers on. I cant find a template in actual size anywhere, and I have no way of resizing a smaller version to actual size accurately.

Like I said, put it in word and resize it until it matches the rulers on the side, print it out, measure it with a ruler or whatever to see if it is accurate, and then just tape the paper on and dremel it out but go a lil smaller. If you go too small your fender will kinda bow in from the sidemarker being pushed in, mine have a lil bit of flexing to them so this winter when the real work begins I'll fix it.

Got some goodies this past weekend. I traded my old B18b1 and GSR tranny for a full rear disk swap off a 2000 Si, complete a/c kit from an Si, and $300. Good trade in my opinion, compression test showed cylinder 3 needs new rings. So the rear disk, along with front and rear camber kits will be going on very soon.

Turbo kit is pretty much complete and on the way from various places right now. Pics as soon as it comes.
