Yeah, i know about the swirls, just getting the time to get out there and do it. My car has been hit 3 times this summer.... boooo
Just trying to be different with it. The drop is Tanabe. The wheels are 19x8.5 - 44 offset front and 41 offset rear.
No rubbing at all - rolled the rear fenders and hammered the bolt that connects the bumper to the quarter panel. Its a 2.5" lip all the way around.

Its carbon fiber on wheels (the red). You can either get in black or red. It breaks it up and ties in well with the type S shift knob. Oh it says "davin" on the rear windshield, I work for them - gotta rep.

i love that look except for the red on the wheels, and whatever that lil badge is behind the rear quarter window. with that fresh paint job it'll look so much better overall, post pics after the new paint!

Thanks guys for the comments!! The only reason I have the vinyl on the back is the sport my company's logo... It seem like people either like the carbon fiber or really don't. It looks slick spinning on the road, imo.
I'm smoking the tailights when it gets painted too... i'll post some better pics after that.

i'm still a little up in the air about the taillights. If I do it, I might only smoke out the reverse lights very lightly. Or may the do the whole lamp very light. Any opinions on that?

Looks good very nice agressive look!
Paint the calipers, clay bar, clear and black out the lights and take those mud guards off, very cheap and easy DIY mods and you will set it off...

Yeah, I already painted the calipers black. You'll see in the updated pics. I get the car painted Monday and smoking the tailights will be done with paint (VIS) not with tint.
I know I have to clay the car... after this paint, basically the whole car has been repainted. You don't like the mud gaurds. They've been on since I bought the car, never really thought anything of it.
The springs are meant for the accord, which I believe is lighter than the CL-S, maybe that is causing such a low drop.
I think for next year, I am going to change the centers to our Tique finish (silverish, bronzy nickel) with black carbon fiber and black buttons at the end of the spokes. Not sure, or I may just do all black with black carbon fiber. This red CF is causing some controversy... I love it.
