Hello guys,

I did some custom work and would love some opinions. First, I added car colored mesh grill (from Home Depot, gutter guard material). Next I opened up the fake vents and painted them car color. Next, I added an AEM CAI which the filter is right behind the now opened vents. Lastly, I painted the area behind the front symbol to match the car. If anyone has any questions on how I did any of it, please let me know.

Every thing looks great. Did you have to solder any of the mesh material?

 

Looks real good, but I prefer the normal silver mesh and chrome look. Definately unique

BTW, is that an AEM intake...it lokos good? Did you notice a BIG difference in sound? I'm looking for an intake mostly for the sound, but if performance is there too its a plus.

 

I'm not digging the mesh or vents. CIA looks nice.

 

The mesh would probably look better black.

 

About the mesh, I bought a piece of gutter guard that was 3ft long, long enough to cover the opening. About the CAI, it is an AEM, which I painted to match the car. You can hear a little difference at low speed, but once the VTEC kicks in, it sounds great!!!

 

Hey man, coming from a fellow SMR owner, I think it looks great. It's different, but I like how you extended the mesh to cover the back of the fog light openings. Looks like quality work!!!

 

Yes, completely better in black.

 

The mesh extending behind the fog lights is a nice touch.

In regards to your red Acura emblem, did you adapt one from another model (Integra) or do something custom to that?

I found some before for a TL in black chrome but everything else is always model specific to the Integra.

Are they the same size? Apologize in advance if that's a stupid question....

 

i think it looks pretty dope bro

 

Hey guys, Thanks for all the complements!! To answer some questions.
Actually, the mesh is only in the big opening.
The vent area (fog light area), I took off the vents, opened them up to be like real vents and then painted them red.
About the red emblem, I took the whole front grill off, took the red outside ring off, the chrome pieces off. Then I painted the whole grill gloss black with Plasticote paint, then PAINTED the area behind the emblem red. Then I put 3 coats of clear over the whole grill to make it stand out. A bit of work, but worth it!!

 

Definetly worth it!
