We can't see your pics and we're terrified at the prospect you will slather the car in blue neon accents and turn signals.

RL Chi-town, welcome to the forums.

You're not hosting the pictures right for them to show.

You can post pictures in your photo album and then post the link to the album, or post the pictures in the thread by copying the links from the album. Click here for more information.

I am probably the closest thing to Chi Town and I didn't realize there was parking there...

I'm in midtown.

Fog light blues? Easy, put 12k HID in them. 50 watts just to make sure you're noticed. Set you back bout $80 shipped plus install.

Kit for Fogs, Bulbs for low beam (if you wish to change color), and Kit for High Beam (you will lose Daytime Running Lights).

H11 fogs, 9005 high beams, D2S low beams

Why leave the 'RL' on there? Take that off too bro....

I like the 'SH-AWD' to leave on, if I were to de-badge... funny how some people don't think so.... But it's SH-AWD!!


BTW, i can see how a decklid makes a BIG difference on the rear..... I need a decklid lol

i left the rl on b/c when people see my car they will see the A symbol and know its an acura. so i left the rl so they know what model it is. i took it all off b/c i figured it would look better.

but the wifey didn't think so... she was furious on why i took the words off. but i didn't care lol. i was laughing.
