IMO. Very interesting trunk and bonnet aswell, i like it heaps overall - very uniqueI didn't think the rest of the Kenstyle kit was exactly ugly, it just wasn't anything special or worth the money IMO. From the rear, the dark/CF concave area, where my plate goes, makes the rear look slimmer. Almost similar to the TL's dark lisence plate area...
Thanks again...

I love it! Particularly the Kenstyle front end. It's beautifuly seemless. And the idea of mix and matching body kits is great. I haven't found an entire body kit that I like yet. I will most likely follow the body kit combo route myslef. And the 2-tone hood and trunk makes it unique as well. Are they CF painted to match? Need some close ups!
Bravo!

How do you like the stoptech kit?
I went with the vented instead of slotted because I had hairline cracks on both my front and rear of my AEM's on my Integra.
The owner Robert Lee called me up one day to see if they could do some parts fitting on my car before SEMA. I pulled it out of the body shop and drove it without a front bumper, hood, and decklid over to stoptech about a mile away lol. Though they did work on the rear of my car, I opted to get the discount on the front first. My ride is the TSX in the install manual for the rear kit (pretty cool).

CJams- Just remember... I did it first! lol... just kiddin'. What do you mean by painted to match? My declid only has silver on the rear and the rear/sides of my lip spoiler. The top portion is "raw" CF and the top of the lip is painted black if that answers your question. I'll take close ups this week/end. Thx btw.

If you're interested, Catz USA went out of business so try and find a set on Ebay and buy replacement dichroic lenses as well. They are WAY better/brighter than PIAA and cost 1/2 - 3/4 of the price. My Catz on my Integra are still working after 7 years... I haven't seen longevity, yet alone brightness, like that coming from PIAA. Dont know why they went out of business tho'...

I wondered if you painted the CF Silver on the rear portion of the trunk and the sides of the hood. I like that idea!
And I'll remember you did it first! But that won't stop me
!!!I may never even make it to the body kit anyway.
Kudos on the ride!

Port of LA is San Pedro, so just a mile difference. My family lives in Torrance so I thought the pic looked familiar.Hey, where do you go driving in the mountains? Glendora Ridge? Those pics in the canyon look oddly familiar...

I'm sending you a big Texas "Hell Yeah!", the car looks good.
The one question I have is what's going on with your trunk? It doesn't appear level, or plush, on the driver's side.

I just talked to Eric @ Tanabe and he said they're still gonna' do some R&D for a new line coming out this summer. Supposed to be quieter and makes the same power...
I actually signed up in 2003-2004 under "Canyonball Runner" when I got my TSX but for some reason I couldn't post...

I mainly go driving in the Malibu/Santa Monica portion of the San Gabriels. Mainly Mulholland, Stunt and Las Flores. Angeles Crest Highway once in a while. I've been up to Glendora Mountain 5 times and each time it was shut down do to landslides. Now I dont even bother... too far of a drive just to bust a U-turn! Those pics were on Tuna Canyon (the only 1-way canyon road in SoCal).

I went school near Mt. Baldy and so I drove Glendora Ridge Road a number of times, but fires in the last few years have made it increasingly difficult to do since there are regular rock and mudslides.

They're similar to the SSR Comps but not quite as light. 18x7.5's weigh in @ I believe a square 18lbs.

Damn...beautiful car!
I can tell you planned everything out before you put the parts on. A lot of cars I see just slap random parts together.
Is that a genuine kenstyle front or is that the "k-speed" kit?
