Nice Shawn.
It looks like the raked look is gone with the 6speed weight difference. Those are the same springs from Comptech that others get? Didn't you say Acura lists 2 diff part #s for the auto vs. manual? What's the verdict on that from Comptech?

Tires (local): 600
Springs/Sways/Alignment: 1000
So you’re looking at an even FOUR GRAND worth of $$$$$ here.
I got 975 for my 2003 stock wheels/tires, so that helped the damage a little bit.

Thanks for all the complements.
Scooter, I think that is just the way the light is reflecting off the edging, but I will look into it.

Actualy, my drivers door IS out of alignment, when ever i close it kinda lightly, it wont close all the way, you have to put some force into it to get it to close.....bringing it in on wed to get that fixed and have them touch up some little paint chips that i had when i got the car, and for them to give me my stick it pads for the thing in the dash where the navi would be.

Windows are getting done in about three weeks.
They can’t do it until the end of April because it still can get pretty cold here at night.
The water under the tint takes about 3-days to completely dry and if it froze that would be a BAD thing.

That looks great!
Were you tempted for the headers while waiting at PAA
I was there on Friday, and I noticed that the auto '03 looks like it sits higher stock than the '01 and '02. I like the new anthracite color.
Did you also go with new shocks, or any plans for replacing the stock ones?

Gotta agree with Astro on this, get rid of the gold! Everything else looks SWEET. Great choice for color and wheels!

What a difference! That looks amazing. I can't wait for my friend with a silver 6spd to see how nice that looks...maybe he'll finally give in and drop his too.

Although I think now that I lowered it, a body kit will be out of the question for me.
I need to drive this car all year round and I don’t want to be plowing SNOW for the road crews next January.
FYI---- I have 16” TL “snow rims” and tires so the BLING BLING’s won’t be seeing any road salt over the winter.
