customized fender flares.......
Hey man, ya definitely got your work cut out for yourself on this project. Two door coupes give a bit more forgiveness by their rear quarter design. Our sedan's rear door and skinny ass dog leg will interfere with a smooth transition, IMO. Also, the rear bumper will cut ya short on the flare's rear side.
Or....are ya just looking to do only the topmost part of the wheelwell's opening arch ? Looks like a lot of time and effort for an extra inch or two of clearance on the top.

The original RL's with all wheel drive were supposed to be Acura's top dog,

Just around the corner, anyday....week,month....next year, ah....maybe !!!

dragging their feet....
One can only hope that Honda is starting to realize that the other manufacturer's are very competitive...... along with the fact that their new RLS model could've been much better.
Oops, think we are somewhat offtrack with this thread.....sorry !!!

Burning Brakes
That thing was sold the next day and I have not been able to find another one. I almost settled for a 2012 TSX SE 6MT, but my wife convinced me that we are settling

Fsttyms1 has his plate full with balancing family vs: car !!!
Been there a few (many) years back, while ya don't want to intentionally deprive your family....there are times that the therapy of having a project in the garage is beneficial to guys. Trust me, at least the wife knows where you're at. Ha, hah !
More than likely, the AWD conversion will happen when the time is right !!!

At this point probably not. I spent the money on a new motor instead of a new car payment to get me thru (hopefully) 2 more years and both kids out of daycare. I pay more for that than i do on either of my mortgages Then..............

Safety Car
Have been doing the same with my car. Except for the brakes, rotors, front lip and air filter everything is original.
To do what other members do by super moding there cars is extraordinary.

I wanna see a shot from the rear, straight on....please !
Lookin' good so far....I know you're going to wrap it around the rear of the quarter to make it all look naturally flowing. Sorta, like a factory style 10+ year belated update feature !
So, when are ya cutting the rear quarters for the flares ?
Been a long ole hard cold winter, I realize ya don't need to do that project until the spring thaw and putting on the wide ones !!!
