Nice work. Just gotta lower the 4x4 suspension. I'm not sure how I feel about the tinted road lamps but I do like the LED lights underneath the license plate. As for underglow, I've never been a fan of it so I say take it out. Definitely stuff you don't see much here, keep it up.

01Blacuras

Yeah Im defiantly going lower soon! For Christmas im asking for tein Coilovers...
Underglows will be removed and sold... Thanks ! What do you think about yellow tint on the road lamps ? AND THANKS !

The led strips are super gay & the car looks like shit. Have a nice day

01Blacuras

The led strips im not gonna lie i might remove because it does look kind of tacky... (Not Gonna Lie) But hey that was really mean! Like im just getting started of course its not going to look like gold. Watch as i progress..

If you could maybe move the LED's where the road lamps are that'd be cool. As for yellow tint, I've seen it and it can look good. Its your car so don't worry what others say. As long as you like it.

You should black out your housings and clear the reflector in the headlights. Looks good on NBPs

DLntheCL

i would have painted/plastidipped everything on the front grill except for the acura badge, i did this and it looks much better. (paint the wings and the trim)

lower LEDs and red fogs gotta go. headlight LED gotta go. red pin striping gotta go. whatever that red stripe is on bottom on trunk lid, gotta go.

your car looks like a circus no offense. just a lot of things going on, i know you want your car to be custom but id start off with a drop, clear the headlights (remove amber diffuser) and remove badges. save some money and get some 18 inch BBS LM reps or something inexpensive but still tasteful, they go for like 600 bucks without tires. it will all take some time but you will get many more likes and compliments than looking like your sponsored by autozone.

01Blacuras

I will put on the yellow tint.. And im thinking about positioning the led drls. Thanks!

01Blacuras

I am currently on the hunt for rims... I really want the A spec Tl ones.. I used to have them on my Tl from my brother in laws car but the car was sold to the insurance company... Drop... Idk what COils to use? And i will be removing those led's

01Blacuras

Yes im going to do that when i get a break because it is alot of work ! And what should i black out the housing with ? What kind of paint if you know ??

01Blacuras

LOOK AT WHAT CAME IN THE MAIL !!!

^Nice! Well for the headlight housing, you can probably find people selling their headlights or I've even seen people exchanging for the silver housed ones. Just gotta look on the BM.

dre757

I used high heat (VHT?) gloss black on my friends accord. Came out great.

I would be willing to sell you the headlights off my car. I bought them brand new a few months ago and removed the amber reflectors. I want to color match my bezels but don't want to re open these again. Let me know if your interested in buying them.

DLntheCL

theres several brands of coils out, i went from tein basics to k-sports. i only had teins on for a few months, i didnt like them. i love my k sports, very sturdy even after several years of use

best thing is, less is more............the more "accessories" a car has the less it looks better....................welcome to the forum, and good luck with the car!!!!

my personal opinions:

remove pin stripes
remove led strip
remove led drl thingies
remove ACURA from trunk
leave the grill wings chrome with acura emblem chrome
remove red led's from road lamps and tinting them yellow would be pretty cool on a black cl
lower it

get some tl type s wheels

and then you should be good to go bro.........

01Blacuras

I did that... I got rid of the led strips and the drls will be removed tommrow and acura from the trunk i will do this weekend because my friend has my heat gun and the red leds have been long gone.. And My Yellow tint film came in today ! SO i just tinted them today and its dark right now so i will put up pictures tommrow ! And Thanks Should i go for Coils first and then rims or opposite ?

01Blacuras

Tein is what i have been looking into should i go lower first or should i get ssome rims ?

01Blacuras

Im actully going to try to paint them first and then if that fails... I will let you know but i will let you know by this weekend at the latest... Thanks !! And hey you have Va Tags !! What part ? Im still pretty young and do you think i should start getting into those car meets just yet ?

01Blacuras

Just put it in today.... I think i want to go with cold air intake.....

1foxbody
