Yeah that would be true, but im just working on my mock up right now, my final piece would actually get sent to get powder coated in a satin black like my rims and then apply a circular brush finish, that way ill have the brushed aluminum on the outside and ilx and acura logo will be satin black.

You have to pay to play.

Try discontinued waffle/hex caps.

Ordered my rear under spoiler today, should get it next week since its coming all the way from California, after this all I need is the sides and I think I will roll my fenders a bit to be able to lower it more, didnt want to roll fenders but this shit kinda becomes an addiction and then you just say fuck it!!

Ehhh I dont know man im not too crazy about performance mods, the car handles good enough for me, is fast enough for me, already got pulled over once for speeding so engine wise its staying stock not sure i wanna give my money to insurance and city any more. Im sure I still wanna add alarm and led lights where possible but I honestly think that would be it for me, oh yeah and roll my back fenders so i can lower it just a little bit more. DONE next thing i put my money on has to be buying a crib im done with renting hehehe.

I say go all out and get the LED taillights from the '16 ILX

Those seem more likely to fit than the headlights, which look bigger now possibly due to the Jewel Eyes needing more space

LED tails probably wont be a direct plug n play connection. Probably would take a costume wire harness or taking one from the '16 ILX.

And not sure if the bumper is exactly the same. Seems to be though.

OP. If you want advice I say get LED reverse, drl, fog, and plate lights but nothing more than that or you risk coming off a bit rice.

I would say grab some rear lower bracing. It'll peek out from underneath and look nice with the red tails if you get matching red.

I would hold off on the exhaust tips.

Couple reasons. The ones I have seen where they cut the bumper for a single exit exhaust looks pretty rice. The single out just screams Honda Civic even more than the ILX already does. As well I have only seen the cut come out clean ONCE. Maybe 2-3 look down right awful. Id cry if a body shop did that to my bumper.

The tips that dont require cutting tend to melt your bumper. Seen that once already on an ILX. Dmtry I believe. He sold his ILX.

I suggest leaving the exhaust as is. If you want it louder then get a new muffler put on professionally but dont add a tip.

I wouldn't cut the bumper cover, but I'd definitely do tips. First mod I'd do is license plate frame delete.

That's also because Majofo isn't in his 20's...

I have a good exhaust place, if you need...off 441 and 595...or caribe muffler off bird (but you'll probably have to find your own tip)

I was thinking of doing it myself at my shop, i work metals but not car specific but i do custom metal work so its something I could do, as you might know its always harder to get something done for me hehehehe how much would something like that cost? Any ideas?

If being a 20 year old means you're a douchebag.. Seriously, the only people I see with that shit on their car or persons are either trashy, douches, or both. You have a nice ride and just ruin it with the frame imo.

Might as well try to fab it yourself. Just don't burn the bumper. You could also do a y-split and do duals.

Thanks for you VERY honest opinion hehehehe, and no im not trashy or a douche, I just dont drive being angry like most of people here in Miami do, Im actually a very respectful driver, BUT then again you did give me a great idea with your post following this one you said to fab myself and even if you were talking about muffler I thought I should fabricate my tag frame without a douche quote on it hahahahaha, and yeah I will try to do my mufflers here in home.

Didn't mean to be insulting if I did.. I'm not one to lubricate before going in.

I'm sure you'll fab a nice exhaust.
