here are the pictures requested by you so-cal people
tell me what you guys think about it so far
had it for 3 months, and love it so far, so started working on it almost every weekend

 

looks nice, but I think it needs a lip kit, and a drop, and some day shots and your good to go

PS: Or maybe a Turbo setup with a nice big black intercooler in the front

 

Looks murdered...except for the windows, headlights, and fogs.

 

haha, yea im actually looking into lip-kits. its already dropped. need to bring down a few notches more

 

murdered?

 

I love it!

murdered = blacked out everything.

 

oh ....yea pretty much. loll
except my shiny mufflers

next mod/options

- rims
- lip kit
- wider tires?

which way should i head guys?

 

lipkit, rims, black out your housing, black out your fogs or put some rock blocker yellow film on it, slam it some more and call it a day

flat black looks sick. always wondered how it would really look on a 2nd gen tl..first time seeing it.. can't wait to see it with a kit and some more mods. keep it up and keep us updated!

 

DAMN that looks sick, how much you pay for the job?

 

thats clean man

 

its a 550 paint job - sanding, handsanding, primer, two coats of flat black paint. 10-15 day wait - another two coats

this is just the first 2 coats
getting 2 more next week

they said the time in between is so that small details and mistake will show up by then, for them to fix

drips, lines, darker and lighter spots
after paint sits in, it all comes together

ill take a few day shots tomorrow

oh yea, one negative side of flat black.
fingerprints, and...no clear coat <-- that would give it gloss.

 

That shit is ILL AS FUCK!! I've wanted to see a flat black TL for a minute! Always wondered what it would look like.. DOPE!

 

yea after the lip kit you'll be good

 

paint job looks good from the pics posted

however, IMO for a flat black car to really work, its gotta be a SICK car. perfect stance, baller wheels, enough accents elsewhere (in this case red tails and clear headlights w/ non-black rims).... etc...

again thas IMO.

 

sweet ride... cant wait to see more pics and future mods.

 

black out the headlights and get some sick agressive rims, then lip kit def will look sick keep up the good work. where you get it painted for that cheap?

 

i always loved flat black..looks sick..always wanted to do it..but i always owned civics and integras..its got to be done on the right car..or else it just looks like a primered up ride..i love how it looks on your car tho..very nice..get some nice ass wheels and your good

 

first time i see a flat black on acura lol, looks murdered but very unique

 

Not a bad start!

Get blacked out headlights + darker tints, then get rid of all that red in the engine bay, and then it'll be SICK!

Oh, and a set of rims would be great.

 

flat black+10k hids?

 

I think tail lights should stay clear/red or maybe a lighter tint. Get the lip kit and some wheels and you're set.

 

that looks really nice. u could clear coat flat black fyi. ive looked into it and a legend member has done it to his car.

 

you need ballin-ass wheels, a kit, and more drop to pull this off totally - you've started in the right direction, though. looks sick and has alot of potential - it's up to you to FINISH THE JOB CORRECTLY!

def wanna see some day shots too.

 

you def need to black out ur headlights... it'll looks so sick. maybe some nice black 19's as well

 

you need wheels.....
depending on what you feel...

ie. black on blue/red/gold/etc etc..

if i were you, i'd undo the red part on your tails.. maybe do like.. 80% tint or something.. and then black out your headlights.... not tint film them... and then.. when you get wheels. flat black the face and maybe do a red lip and red rivets?? etc etc.. red lugs.. little things here and there.. need more contrast...

 

let me help you out a bit with this thread..

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ght=flat+black

 

everything looks horrible. im sorry but I hate black on black. and that car looks like a took a swim in black. Wrong car to black out imo

 

definitely not feeling it but it has potential if you do it right following III's and JJasha's advice.

and i have 2 words for you: White Balance.

 

Its a work in progress. Still a lot to be done.

 

i like it. but you need wheels. preferably with a lip.
blacked out headlight housing
black out the red part of the tail lights and leave the white part alone.
lip kit
and youre set

 

do you have a single outlet exhaust

 

some rims will set it off. Nice job !!

 

Props for trying it out. Keep up the good work and like most say, it has a lot of potential.

 

also. where did u get it done for 550

 

this shit right heeere...this shit right heeeere....it called DEF!

That is pretty damn tight right thurrr, agreed wheels are needed

 

agressive as kcuf.

 

thanks for the comments and advice guys.

yes car is a work in progress and i will keep you guys posted with future mods.

got the paint job at earl scheib

jjashaa, u are really gna make me go broke one day. hahaha

 

lol.. this whole site made me broke...

more specifically LacViet...

dam his sexy ride that got me to mod mine...

 

dark knight style.

black out headlights and fogs immediately!

 

lol som1 finally did it...balling...

i think i would feel it more when the project is complete...theres still too much white/chrome here n there...headlites n fogs...n the chrome on the xhaust shows too much so with a lip kit it fix that or just paint the muffler black n leave the tips chrome...

saw a rx7 yesterday at a shop with satin black...which is also flat black...it had 7 coats n a semi clear...looked sick...i touched it n it feels like touching a lcd screen...for those that r wondering
