Post Lowered my TL, added Frnt Spoiler, Finished Fogs

Did some work to my TL this past week. Want to be ready for the Hot Import Nights show.I put on the factory front spoiler, lowered the front of the car another 1", and finished my fog light install. My car looks so much better. With just the inch lower in the front, the car sits perfect. There is still alittle wheel gap in the front, but with my front lip on, I wouldn't want it any lower.
After drilling it into my wifes head about not pulling all the way up to parking space, I pulled right into one, and totally fogot. I got out an checked to see if I hit the concrete stops, and I just miss them by 1 finger. Boy thats close! But its good to know with my ride height now, if we do forget it will clear
And the fogs... man now the front of my car is complete

Well Done Tim!!
Very classy.

97*TL*
Our door handles are chrome and unless we sand it all off, it would be hard to add that much flex additive to the paint to stick(eventually it will peal off).
If I'm not mistaken, when I was ordering my rear door handles, I think the Accord handles has the same part number (Their painted).

I should meantion that my car was already lowered with the Mugen suspension, I just lowered the front even more.

On the C2's, there 18 x 8 with 50 offset, same ones I have on the Wheels Page

The fogs I got from Japan, in hopes to end our fog light woos (is that spelled right ?), but these lights required way to much work to get them to fit.
But working on Honda to get them made (read post below)
