    chrisbtsc's VBP EP3

    So, pretty recently I picked up a 2005 VBP EP3 with 73k miles on it. Some of you probably have seen the thread from the members introductions. A little recap:

    As it was the day after I bought it...









    The car is in really good shape and very stock. Except for these horrible graphics that the original owner put on it. These were removed as quickly as I could get to it...









    And so there it is. More or less how it sat as Christmas was coming up and I knew I had to focus on the holidays and family.

    Christmas time came and went and Ms. Claus was very nice to me...

    I got a new headunit for the car. A Kenwood DDX470.



    I also was able to get my windows tinted...









    Got my Union Jack as well...

    I'm still not 100% sold on the head unit. I like it, but I have a Pioneer X930BT in my Tundra and it just sounds way better. Maybe the EP needs some new speakers.

    The back 3 are limo tint, which is 5% I believe. The fronts are one shade darker than legal, I don't know what that percentage is.

    Can you see out of the back at all? Lol I wasn't thinking about going that dark lmao I am thinking maybe the max 15% in back and 25% in the front. I had 35% on my last civic and it wasn't dark enough for me.

    You can see out the back pretty good in the daytime. It's dark but you can still see. At night that's another story. You can see headlights but that's about it.

    ive been thinking about a pioneer head unit i had seen on crutchfield for like $200. i upgraded my speakers and they need more power! i have my blitz cable in the meantime. my $ is going elsewhere. but your set up looks great. i say upgrade the speakers.

    Very nice stuff man!!! One of my favorite colors.

    Great choice on suspension.

    Now you need some HFP wheels, and Type-S front brake calipers/rotors and you will have an awesome OEM upgrade package.

    Keeping it mostly stock is also awesome, not sure what your plans are.

    I'm not 100% sure where I'm going with the car yet. It's supposed to be my commuter car, because my Tundra has a lift on it with big tires and gets awful gas mileage. The EP is supposed to help me save money. But, I'm turning around and spending it on the car now. Hahaha.

    I'm pretty excited to get these installed. Hopefully this weekend!



    Made some bushing removal progress today on the A-Spec suspension. I had to machine an adapter and fixture for our hydraulic press so I could press these out. Once that was done, they came out nicely.
