Wow, that looks freakin amazing. I usually am not a fan of two tone cars but that looks great and goes perfectly with the wheels.
Nice work but i gotta ask, are your mirrors missing? I have no time to check the forum lately so you may have answered in previous posts but i was curious, whats up with them

For me, while I am sure a lot of work was put into that car, I think it's a bit over the edge. While I do like the front bumper assembly I have never been a fan of a two tone paint job. Not big on gold or black rims either. A car can look aggressive and classy at the same time. If going for a pure aggressive look then this car rates an A....but it just looks too much like a car that I would see in a hip hop video or something. Not that there is anything wrong with that, just not some people's taste.

Very Hot!!!
Smoke those damn headlights and either black out the rear side markers and tails or get the 07 type-s stufff
Would look super hot with real dark tint tails and rear markers and blacked out headlights..... Especially if you have the black plastic parts inside the headlights painted WDP WOW that would be nasty
nice

HIN DC is the 21st of April, which will probably be the first show I attend this year. Traditionally it's been SEMA IAS, but that show has been discontinued. Do you think you'll make it out to the DC show?

The fitment actually looks really good. I think you are looking at the same thing I am the which is the gap in between the hood and the grill/bumper. I honestly think that's the hood. If I am not mistaken he has a carbon fiber hood.

Completely not my style, and especially with this genre of vehicle, but I can most definitely appreciate your creativity and artistic approach for your ride. I like it on principle alone.
A couple questions, though:
No headlight clearing?
Why the gold rims (instead of, let's say, black)?
What's the deal with the pelican?

Oddly enough...I just got my Honda Tuning magazine in the mail yesterday. I subscribed after we started talking about it a while back. Look forward to seeing your car featured. That is really cool and quite some accomplishment.
I have been thinking about having modified magazine do a feature on my car in relation to our Winged Warrior Performance Challenge this year as opposed to Kevins EVO....but I would have to transform my car into a sticker-mobile to do it for advertising and sponsors we have covering the event.

Bronze and gold are very similar in color. Not only that, but both have varying shades of color, so one could easily be mistaken for the other. Hence, I mistook this bronze for gold. Thanks for the "schooling," though.

2) Bronze TE37s are signature JDM styled racing rims. Extremely lightweight forged monoblock construction. Can't beat them, they're lovely. They also make them in black FYI.
3) The pelican or swan is a logo for a Honda raceteam called Spoon Sports. The TL is a car Spoon has chosen not to modify and it makes me sad, so i'm pretending mine is a spoon TL.
...here's my TL amongst a few of Spoon Sports modified Hondas...CL7, DC5, and Fit

Anyway, your ride looks great; I love the originality of it. It's too bad Spoon didn't want to take you on. Looks like they missed out!
