Great snap Townie.

Cormanus, the rear axle size is different on ‘13 and ‘14.

Townie, are the headers stainless or chrome?

Thanks GO. There have been a couple mods that add some visual appeal (fork boots & Staintune), I should probably take another picture when I think of it.

Stainless (single walled). That photo was taken after a good cleaning with Optiglanz.

Wow, zoom in on the picture and you can read the stripper can brand and product name, the exact brushes (or just get cheap ones at Home Depot).

The tape appears to be 3M Performance Yellow masking tape. Google it.

I can read that, but i'm more concerned with whether or not he ended up using that stripper in the end. reading the thread it seems like he was commenting on how it doesn't work fast enough. when he posts again it seems like he's using a different stripper. could be wrong

Never realized Honda put black enamel on some rim configurations right to the tire sidewall.

Geez, I'm apologising all over the place on this thread. The '13 wheels wouldn't be a lot of use then.

I think he did use it but was disappointed it didn't work more quickly.
