lol..... thanks for bagging on my honda. I dont care if it looks ugly for now. I have no choice, that is why I'm using the 17s. I have big plans for this car. I dont mine upgrading something that needs to be replaced. Also the cam gear wasnt the issue here.

This is one of AEM's facts.
Question: Will this upgrade cause my battery to die?

Answer: No. The effect of the Pulleys at idle is minimal. The only time there may be a problem is if there is a very high demand on the electrical above and beyond the stock design. This would include very high power sound systems or similar devices. Of course you should make sure the charging system of the car is in good condition.

They state that there is an idling problem, but is very minimal, especially with high powered sound system. Im running stock battery with two high power amps and two subs. Im going to change amps to one amp and one sub, then see what the outcome will be like. If the car doesnt idle anymore, I'm keeping the pulleys. If the car does idle then I will have no other choice then taking them out.
