them headlights need help!

 

I want windshield tint but I know I'll get pulled over once I leave the tint shop.

I know the tint laws in Florida are different than most places but windshield tint is still illegal there no?

 

Headlights will get some love next week...
It is illegal in FL to have windshield tint, but the sun out here is crazy, plus so many people has them already that makes me feel like they dont bother as much... Matter fact, last night i got pulled over and they didnt even mentioned the windshield...

 

Dont mind rockstar he's a bully.

Wheels look good, is that a mild drop you have? I mean I just couldnt imagine driving like that at night.

Thats crazy about the sun being bright there, cuz its bright here too. Huh....weird.

 

I think its brighter here... lol 0_o

Car is dropped on Tein basics.. the front is maxxed out and the rear still has like a inch or 2 left...

 

 

I wish I was ballsy enough for windshield tint

 

show us some side shots!

 

looks really good howd u get the wheels to sit so flush, i thought they generally stick out a bit on the 2g

 

 

:troutslap

 

Dirty, crappy celphone pic... headlights will be cleaned, car will be washed, and ill do a photoshoot soon... I need to practice my skills soon!!!

 

SSM FTW! lol. that last side pic looks nice.. all u need is some 02-03 tailights.

 

lovin the tires. looks like lower than usual profile. what size are they?

 

nice!

 

fuck yea! thats what im talking about! you planning on getting 02-03 tails? or leaving them like that? also i would remove the mudflaps but thats just me. your ride is lookin good man.

 

nice whip i want those 3rd gen whels man!

 

They are 215/40/17...

 

the wheels look great on ur car

 

Thank you bro... I really dont think that the tailights would make much of a difference... if I get a good deal on a set i might think about it, but for now im ok the way it is... Mudflaps dont bother me either... plus i love the fact that the fronts are half way worn out!!! =D

Next plans are:
1- Paint the front bumper which is messed up from NY parking.
2- Make sure the rear bumper aligns good.
3- Clean up the headlights
4- I want to paint the roof Wet Black
5- Front foglights
6- I want to do something with the grill, but I still dont know what
7- Debagged the rear (I just want to leave the ACURA lettering though)

 

damn that tire size will probably throw off your speedometer but they look good!

 

215-50-17 is stock size (on mine)....running a 215-40-17 WILL throw off the speedo.... When speedometer reads 60mph (96.6km/h) actual speed will be 55.9mph (90km/h): 6.8% slower.


or since yours is a TL-P which comes with 205-60-16's.....When speedometer reads 60mph (96.6km/h) actual speed will be 55.6mph (89.5km/h): 7.3% slower.

 

is there an equation to figure that out?

I mean I could bust out my physics text but and look up rotational dynamics again but if someone has it handy...

 

Is the Speed indicated on a GPS (TomTom) accurate?

I have an idea on how that works but is it less accurate than your actual speedometer?

I'm guessing the GPS Speedometer works like this:
Takes the location you are and compares how fast you get to the next location....does some arithmetic with distance and time to get speed...but how accurate?

 

It might, but IDK the times that I got pulled over for speeding, the cop was right on the money !!! plus I have a double din Radio with GPS and the speed that reads matches to the one on the cluster...

 

Nice start o.p.

I second that, my navi speed matches what the cars cluster shows.

 

Plug your tire specs into this site and it gives you all the info.......

stock 17 is 215-50-17
stock 16 is 205-60-16

 

yup this is true. I'm running a 215/45 on my 3g wheels and my speedo is about 3mph off. a 215/40 is just stupd small if you ask me... Thats the sizes civic run....

What are you dropped on OP?I cant tell if it's the low pro tires making you look low, or you are actually low... haha

 

215-45 compared to the stock 215-50....... When speedometer reads 60mph (96.6km/h) actual speed will be 58mph (93.4km/h): 3.3% slower.

 

damn thats crazzy

 

Fresh carwash, and headlights cleaned!!! next move, getting the front bumper painted!!!

 

fresshhhhhh

 

That is fresh. I'm loving the windshield tint.

 

Looks good man. Ever thought of clearing the headlights?
