Sounds like a good plan. It'll be nice to see someone else mod a wagon in addition to Rob, PPower, Logan, etc.

@ joe

if you want open vents for the 09-10 you have to buy the lower grill mesh from the v6 2010 model (it exists).

its not like the 2011+ in that they are not separate pieces on the sides, the whole lower middle mesh and the two covers next to the fogs are one large single unit on the 09-10s

its like 80 or so I believe

Awesome upgrade!

Just curious, did you have them throw in the front under body spoiler? Are you going to get the side skirts or the splash guards or leave as is?

Looks good, it's nice that you got them to throw in the front underbody kit. Acura dealership here in New Orleans and Baton Rouge wasn't willing to budge even a little when I picked up my 2012 wagon. Looking forward to seeing more pics of your build.
