N00b Finally Got to Let Out the CL

Well tonight, being almost a week since I got the car, I finally was able to get some power out of my '99 3.0. From around 15mph, gave it some (a lot lol) of gas and the car took off. I really could not believe how quickly the car picked up speed. And I really like the sound of the engine above 4000 RPM (VTEC?). And yes, I was within the legal speed limit the entire time lol. All I really have done to the car is a Short Ram Intake, new Clarion Radio, fog lights, clear corners, backup cam, and put the factory wing on. Just gotta get the rims I have on and remote start, and the car is done =D. Thanks to shnee for the fog light help, and Rob at Acura of Lynwood for the OEM wing and fog light install instructions . This is how the car sits now, except that now the car had LED turn signal lights instead of amber bulbs that you can see in the housings. Gotta get some better pics than just with my phone .

Looks great! Tint would be a good next step.

Let me know if you have an issue with the fog lights moisture seal. I had an issue that I fixed with some silicone, but I had taken mine apart to reposition the cutoff shields (they came a little out of whack), so I'm not sure if It was because of that. I read on their website that it's normal if they show a little moisture sometimes, and that it should go away when you use the lights.

I'm not really a huge fan of the blackhoused headlights, and I kinda like having the badges on the trunk. What is the legal tint in NJ? The last thing I need is to be pulled over

in NJ you can tint the back windows any darkness, but you cant tint the front windows or the windshield. I live in virginia but my car is registered in NJ, I have 5% on my back windows and its legal.
