That looks awesome CleanCL! I can't wait to see it all. Personally, I understand the logic behind you wanting to paint it but.... It's so pretty on the NBP.
And GreenMachine... Personlly, if you did a different tint on your car like a straight 15 or 20% instead of that fading stuff, the CF parts would look hot on yours too.

It looks like you've got the carbon fiber bug...thats what happens if you linger around too long in my thread. haha.
Don't paint it.
The OEM seats are quite heavy...look into some recaros, brides, or sparcos.

just take it to an acura dealer ship and have them remove one of the spring with teir special tool. when I got my spoiler added on I had to get the sronger springs installed, and the local honda dealership did it for free.

CF looks clean on a black car no need to paint unless you want a total sleeper effect

I'm sure you already know, but just to make sure... you do know that the spoiler is fake CF right?
just dont understand why you would buy a fake CF one and even worse, one with an LED strip in it.

Post more pics when the spoiler gets installed. Hows the quality of of spoiler anyways? IMO the pictures of the spoiler makes it look really cheap.

This might be of topic but is the actual acura emblem screwed in or is it glued on. I was thinking it might look good if you just put the letters saying ACURA.
But then again I'm new here just my opinion...
