It needs to be a stunner because it will be difficult to beat a turbo magazine cover car such as Rio's Honda integra.

I think my friend is also planning on driving his white DC5 up from Charlotte, we'll probably convoy together up to Chantilly.

Are you going to the show Chris?

HIN Chantilly

Chris,

I should see you at HIN also. I'm actually considering getting the rear bumper re-painted and registering the whip :-).

Where did you get your Rotors from. I am looking for a set like those for the 05 6MT. The stock rotors are suck. They are turning rusty which takes away from the car....

...to answer your question i believe the vendor Excelerate has just posted in the performance section that Rotora has released their slotted/drilled rotors for the 6MT TL.

Very good observation. It doesnt go.

Hey ACCURATEin, did you order the Versus bumper unpainted and have the dealership paint it for you? Or did you just order one in white? Sorry if this was stated previously and if I missed it. Thanks

Very nice! I'm glad you were finally able to get this on. Hows it holding up? With your car being white, it will definately hide any spider cracks and nicks in the fiberglass. Have you noticed cooler temps? I know I did when I had mine on.

I totally forgot to ask what wheels are those? What size/offset? Cost if I may ask? I think they would look great on my 07 Silver TL-S.

You were the original versus guinea pig! So far the bumper is holding up and everything on it is intact. It does have a few spider cracks down on the bottom and are barely noticeable, and you're right with the color being white its hard to notice them. I can imagine a darker color the cracks would be apparent. I don't notice the temperature gauge being cooler, but maybe its because the air temperature here in NC arent above 90 yet.

These are the world famous Volk TE-37. The specs are 19x8.5 Offset +43. They retail in the 700s each. They make them in a variety of finishes.

And thanks to everyone with the many comments on the car! I drive her everyday and she's got 87,000 miles on the odometer.

Currently I have the OEM 17s mounted, and they have been spray painted black if anyone wants to see pictures. I think it looks fantastic...not sure if anyone has painted their oems black but it looks mean. Maybe ill take pictures tomorrow and post them here for everyone to see.

Right now they're glossy, and i didnt apply a clear coat, so in time it's possible they will fade to flat. BUT, at that point i will just redo them with actual wheel paint.

haha right on ....i'll try and get some pics up soon.

Why not, I must say out of all cars made in a while, I have never seen a car have so many sweet OEM parts, that look so good, the stock 17s are one of the best OEM wheels I have seen. The evo, s2k, and the g35 also have really cool oem wheels.

haha hope you cleaned up afterwards!






...Did some modifications to the interior in the past couple weeks.

1) Had CIN Motorsports install the Defi link meter and 60mm Imperial white boost gauge. (the prettiest gauge ever constructed by mankind..god i love it)
2) Fixed the passenger side seat bracket
3) Took the Sparco Torinos out and installed the Sparco Speeds which are nonadjustable.
4) Installed another RSX part. Cusco Pillar side bar.

...i'll try and get some pictures up for everyone sometime soon.
