Very Nice!

Out of interest, what does your car redline at? I know the rev counter shows 8400 as the redline, but my JDM EP3 rev's another 500 rpm past this. I was wondering if that's the norm?
 
The inner wing covers, did you buy them new? I could be doing with a set for my jdm ep3. Wonder if Honda still sell them new...
