what metal did they use for a blue rotor? For $4,100 I woulda guessed carbon ceramic, but just by looking at them you can tell they're not...

no i never had -6 camber... but it looked very similar when I had the GT-V.

I used Photoshop paths, half way through I thought to myself I should have used Illustrator...

Subscribed, cleanest CL I've ever seen. You go through rims as quickly as most people go through air fresheners.

My buddy CG2Project got his car out of the shop finally. He got facked in an accident. His paint job does look familiar . Anyways I didn't shoot my car much since it hasn't been washed for 6 weeks. We have been having on/off rain.

He kind looks wide-body from the second pic. Looks good.

What side skirts is he running? They flare our nicely.

I think bronze really brings out the color in your paint.

I thought it was always the best combo on your ride.

Chapter Closed
Its sad to for me to type this, but I have done everything I can for my car. Its time for a new project which I will be starting this summer [I hope]. I will be listing the car for sale as is without the iForged Classic 2 wheels (stock wheels of course) for sale for $17,000. If it doesn't sell as is, I will be parting out everything and returning the car to stock. This isn't a false alarm like last time. There's nothing else for me to do to this car (don't say FI). I love it to death, but in order to fund the new project I must part with her. If I could, I would keep her, but I can't. Look for the car for sale soon or the part out.

I'd like to thank AcuraZine and all the members who have supported me through the 2 years of the build. I appreciate everything everyone has offered.

DO NOT PM ME CALLING DIBS. I will announce what time I will be posting the part out [if any] in this thread giving the CL guys a heads up. PLEASE DO NOT CALL DIBS, I will ignore all PM's or comments regarding dibs on parts.
