Nope. I'm going to do a very slight tint on the taillights.

Stop being a holdout fishy. Even I eventually cracked and got the tails.

Also, what are you using to clean your Tomei exhaust, mine looks like an antique pipe.

I just use an aluminum polish even though it's titanium. I'll need to get something stronger to get that black soot off of the tip.

Very very very nice build! Only thing it might need is a rear diffuser!

Yeah, the Test & Service rear is nice. It looks OEM, but has a touch of aggressiveness.

A built motor is around $4000-$6000 depending on what options you go with. Mine was $4000 for parts + assembly and machining. These prices also include a core swap. Install prices and other costs are a whole different story. Hit up Speed Circuit for prices. There were a few other X's at the shop getting Speed Circuit built motors while I was there.

They're great for me, but I don't know how you scale "roughness" lol.
Another X owner named Dave who is a big suspension guru sold me on these. They're the best bang for your buck coilovers.

I do take it to Philly a lot, but when I go out drinking I usually take my Prelude. If I'm going out to eat or hang out with people then I'll take the Evo. I'm in Philly at least 3 times each week. I'm moving to Northern Liberties soon. I love Philly.
