That's damn clean!
Hey, if it's not a problem, can you take more pictures of your car but without the front license plate? O_O I think that would make it look 100000x cleaner than it already is. I'm just in love with your lower grille trim. Great job!
Those wheels are hot too.

I would TOTALLY love to drive with out the front plate but the Fairfax County Police are everywhere and they pull people over for any excuse they can.
I have to get the lower grill piece epoxied because it keeps slipping off. After I do this I will take more pictures with the license plate removed.

Hey man, you weren't kidding when you said our rides would look very similar. Not bad company to be associated with 
. Nice job, bro!
IMO, blue lugnuts and a Mugen grill look killer on ASM. Now all you need to get are some JDM headlights and a matching blue valve cover, and then we'd almost be twins
.
Also, what did you use to paint the black plastic fins on your front bumper? I really like the way that looks.

After I saw your car I immediately ordered the Mugen grille and blue lugs. haha. I had been thinking about it but your pictures made me drop the hammer.
The lower grille is a cheap fake chrome insert w/double sided tape dress up kit bought from Ebay. It looks amazingly good, surprisingly. The middle piece is loosing its "stick" because it has been 90+ degrees consistently which appears to melt the tape along with the engine heat. I am going to super glue it this weekend.
I think blue lug nuts look great on ASM. Some people don't get it. But ASM has a very metallic steel buish hue to it under many shades of lighting. In person, I think the blue lugs set off a nice contrast.
Are JDM headlights aimed to the opposite side of the road, ie oncoming traffic? I want them for the look but I do not want to sacrifice lighting or blind people driving towards me.

Make sure to clean off the lower grille area real well and make sure it is dry.
I'd recommend super glue for the middle grille insert because mine is falling off. I have zip ties fastening it until I get some time to glue it with Gorilla glue.

Very nice. I saw a PWP the other day that had wedssport's. I mistook them for TL-S wheels. Initially I was supposed to get an ASM too. We had the paperwork done and everything. But my mom put a ext. warranty on it and we decided not to get it but PWP was higher on my list so I ended up with a PWP w/Navi instead of the ASM non-navi. Although for me the 6MT wasn't on the table...I'm always jealous to see all the 6MT's on the forum.
Did you have to get the mugen grill painted?

note to anyone else who might be getting the chrome grill kit. As AamirCWITR stated, the glue on the long piece is crap, it won't stay
I cleaned my grill thoroughly then with rubbing alcohol and applied it last night, i pressed it down hard numerous times...i got up with morning and it was on the garage floor....popped off!

When I took my car in to the dealer for an oil change, I talked to the mechanic and had him epoxy the middle strip. It is on there for good now!

I've driven by tons of cops with no issues so far!

Whoa, your car looks hot!!!! Nicely done.
Regarding the Acura OEM Accessory Silver Steering Wheel:
Is it a whole wheel replacement, or just inserts that you stick on the wheel?
If it is a whole wheel replacement, did you do it yourself or have the dealer do it?
