yeah but i didnt feel like paying 550 for a rear lip from the dealership. so it can wait. it dont look too bad to me

and yes cl-s wheels ftw. think they look sooo much better than the tl-s wheels. ill be getting new wheels here soon. and hopefully i can source a rear lip somewhere thats not to expensive. skirts and front lip are fromt the dealer. i bit the bullet for the front lip since it seems to be the rarest and hardest to comeby piece. skirts are from ebay but shipped from some ACURA dealership up north.

I hate how when you take off the mudguards it reveals the mess underneath it.

oh ok i'll ask him about you. about his TL, he took his turbo out to put in a bigger one. dont know when it'll be done. he's really not driving his TL anymore because he just picked up a brand new 2007 S2000. he still races with his TL on occasions though.

yeah i went up there today to check out his car and maybe get a ride. he said he had taken it off and was putting the kit on a 4dr teggy he just picked up. turbonetics t37 or something. so didnt get a ride but he told me bout the afc neo he had on his car. we should all get together sometime for a meet.

im one finger gap all around so no you are not lower than me. and i did all my work myself. and if you do a drop than you need to do it the right way with all the correct parts. here is the link to the d.i.y. for the camber kit install i did on my 6thgen accord.

omni sport. they feel kinda stiff but im thinking cuz they are brand new. they seem to be breaking in cuz they are not as stiff as when i put them on. i drive around alot 5-6hrs a day. im in sales. ill recheck them in a week to see how much they have settled. re measure and re set them and i should be good. the coilovers are really beefy and seem well built.
