I bought it from a friend here in Miami.All the people that sit in the back hate it,it's like a very hardcore headrest..lol..It says Mugen Power..But I know for a fact that Mugen didn't make C-Pillar bars for the EK hatchback.So what I'm gonna do is,I'm probably going to sand it, than polish it..I think it'll look awesome that way.:nice:

Yeah, they do need some work..but it's worth it.The seats are from an EK9 as well.:nice:He was selling the seats for $600,But he sold it to me for $350 cause I gave him the S2K's.

Continuation from first post:

And here is how the CTR headlights looked like when I bought them.:shocked::shocked:

So this is what I did,First I wet-sanded the whole headlight with 1000,1500, then 2000.After that,I buffed it with rubbing compound and wala! But as soon as I installed them on the car I was pretty unhappy cause I washed my car as soon as the headlights went on,and all of a sudden the passenger headlight started to fog up!:mad::angry2:.So what I did was I removed the headlights,and since it was open I thought it would be alot better if I have installed the little bulb shields (Cause when I bought the headlights the guy had removed them so that the bubs would be brighter.:nono:) So I broke my stock headlights and took the bulb shield from those and installed them on the new headlights..than after all of that, I resealed it with a ton of gray silicone so it will NEVER fog up again!

And here is how it looks now.

And on the car, with the bulb shields and the ton of silicone..lol.:clap:
