Nice. I like what you were aiming for...blacked out. I just want to suggest taking away all of the chrome....debadge and black out the grill as well.

otherwise, it looks cool.

The strangest thing... i have ingalls rear camber kit on.. i took it to get an alignment and they told me they cant adjust it.. its at its max and cant go any more positive! and they know that i have the adjustable camber kit.. arent there two rods on both sides that you have to adjust and not just one to go positive? does anyone know off hand? Maybe i should post this in the performance forum

There are 2 kinds of ingall camber kits I believe. Each one has a different range of adjustability. Maybe you have the wrong one?

I was going to "quote" a picture but replace it with one that had a ghost photoshopped into it...but nah...=P

I like the "dark" look! Where did you get the film to cover up your mirror lights? Also, what % is on your rear tail lights?

That my friend is SICK!

Just fix the rear camber and get a lip kit. Pre 2006 models look MUCH better with lip kits.

Car looks real good

I have the same problem with my blackout tape around the windows shrinking up, but it is still fine on the door handles and grille.

Looks pretty good for the most part. I also think you should black out the entire front grille or get an aftermarket grille (painting it red might look good).
I actually think it would look better if it wasn't dropped so much with a lip kit.

You can get the tint for side mirrors on www.rockblocker.com.

I thought about doing that too.

Where did you get your windows tinted? Did you get the moleskin installed? Any scratches or problems with the tint job?

I'm out near Trenton sometimes and am looking for a good place to get my windows tinted.

I had a friend of a friend do mine... its not from a shop but he does a pretty good job for a small price.. but there's a place in Morrisville Pa right across the Trenton Makes bridge.. I heard something about them doing "Spray on Tint" I dont know the name of the place though.. i'll check tomorrow

All rivets on rims are fake.. but cant beat paying $400 for black powder coated rims with tires! Thats the only reason why i have that low of a profile tire was because they came with the packaged deal..

Mugen grill and debadge would look great!

yes it should be able to adjust to the correct position.
Wheels +tires together don't look too big or too small, compared to OEM ones, don't know why they can't do it
after checking camber and if the parts are right, try Eurotire in Fairfield, NJ (maybe it's a bit far up north for you).
www.eurotire.com
lots of S2000s go do their allignment done at this shop, and i took my 06 tsx there to get my camber done. took about 30 minutes. unlike other shops which told me they can't do aftermarket , can't work with ingalls because they ain't familar with them, this shop knew everything. simple and quick.
I'm sure that mine is lower than your ride, i think ~2.0 to 2.3inch lowered. but they did a correct job getting my ingalls done.

That's a unique look, props to you man. Looks hot.

My comments are as follows...
1) Lose the mud guards if possible, to me they only fit on NBP or CGP cars
2) I think painted calipers would set your rims off - either black, black with white Acura lettering, or possibly red (if you can get it a close match to the Milano red). Red calipers with blacked out rims would be a hot contrast.

Im still thinking about painting the calipers are just getting a brake kit.. I kept the mud guards because it mixed well with all the black.. but i might take them off because my driver side mud guard scrapes to the point its' worn now...but only on the driver side front. I went low because the tires are so thin so it looked alil funny... im happy with the look so far.. i just need bigger tires, the rims are 18 inch Akita

If you have the liquidity for a big brake kit, by all means, forget caliper paint. A set of red Rotoras or Stoptechs would look just plain mean on your whip.

Hot car!
