deyum, thats a quick transformation. i like it, looks nice. def should get a body kit and then your ALL set. the only problem in modding too fast is that when your done you have this itch that cant be satisfied. it SUCKS. im sort of going thru it now

I'm not a big fan of the all-black theme. But it's a clean ride.

Nice look

the only problem I have and im nobody to be a critic , is the Honda Emblem. its a Hot car i'll admit but the Honda badge lowers it to a Honda Not a Premium Acura.
I commend you on your blood sweat and tears. i've walked that road. its very rewarding. The Black look is hot on that car..........

Keep us posted, well all know its an Acura under that sheet.

I would take the honda badge off the back and leave it as "Saber", and keep the honda grill in the front. Other than that the car is lookin' hot...

Lightbulb nice ride!

your car is clean!! great job on the black stock rims. now you need to do is changing your head and tail lights to the 02 and and 03.

damn, nice ride

rims ain't my style, but it the car does have a nice look!!!!

one thing that would make it look sick is if you took out the amber turn signal on the fronts, and replaced them w/ some silver ones that light up amber. It would make the whole healdight look a lot cleaner!!! ....just a suggestion

Car looks good. However, I think the center caps on the rims should be painted black and black lug nuts would help too.

woooow that much in 6 months, looks nice. I think 02/03 tails would look better on it.
good job saving up that money, took me around 6 months just to save up for my body kit.

lookin good.

HEY EVERYBODY THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS, I APPRECIATE IT!!! about the all black theme im going for, not that im goth or anything it is just that i like that sleek "whos creeping around the corner" thing i have going... bout the rims... i was dying to get rims, it didnt matter if it was type s rims or bigger rims... i just wanted to get rid of the 16" stocks.... anyways rev-01 cut me a great deal on some CLS rims... it was a offer i couldnt give up.... Here on oahu its pretty rare to find someone selling type s rims... but anyway i got the rims and it was pretty curb up but still looked damn better then the 16" stocks.... but Rev-01 gave me the idea of painting them black... and i dug it because i really wanted black rims.... but sorry for the long explanation... once again thanks for the comments!!!

another idea for chrome.

what i would reccmend also would be not the chrome you have but get the "BLACK CHROME" it used to be sold as an accessory for the Acura's a bit ago. Ill do some research and see if it is something we still do. just a thought. but the black chrome is a nice look on the black cars.
like all has said this car is hot. proud of the Acura owners out there..
