Wow man, that looks rich! Nicely done.
If I may make a couple recommendations for looks:
1) Ditch the mudflaps
2) 02-03 Tails
3) Blacked out headlights
3) Perhaps a cheap set of TL-S rims
4) A good drop

Nice car

Of course whatever you can afford and when.

headlights look great

thanks man. i really like the suggestions ur talking about but unfortunately i am currently heavily indebted and can't really afford any mod. i guess the mudflaps would be free, but i heard something about paint damage under them, any more info on that? and how expensive are the other things?

thanks! i didn't even polish/wax them

Mint condition FPR! On the outside at least.

1) Ditch the mudflaps = $0
2) 02-03 Tails = $50-70 (ebay)
3) Blacked out headlights = $10 paint + $3-4 sealant from walmart
4) Perhaps a cheap set of TL-S rims = depends on who and where and what condition.. dont really need them. 99-01 wheels dont look TOO bad with a drop
5) A good drop - anywhere from $150(springs) to $4000(air suspension)

good job on the wash.. im gonna clay my car for the first time soon as well!

I was going to ditch the splash guards on mine, but the paint is cut underneath. You should be able to lift the side laying against your car enough to see if the paint is cut. Another option is painting them body color, which is my next project

Car looks really good, nice job!

nice car, if you take the mud guards off, send them to me i need those for my look on my car

thanks for the compliments everyone. actually the paint is definitely not in mint condition--my rear bumper has lots of poorly touched up areas, the front bumper has lots of rock chips, and the rear passenger door has a big sideswipe deal...not sure how none of this showed up in the pics, maybe i should be a photographer for a shady car dealer. but for the things i have been able to touch up, the general acura touchup paint works just fine. i'm going to tackle the front bumper chips this weekend, hopefully they come out well

as for the mudguards...how do i paint them body color? i don't see my touchup paint working as well on that huge area lol.

nolimitdec...good luck on your claying, i used the meguiars clay kit (was enough for 2 cars) and got pretty good results. you may want to polish as well...i am a cheap brown person and even i thought it was worth it to make sure the wax sticks properly.
::hopes i don't get owned by more experienced ppl in wash and wax::

go here they sell spray cans of your exact color..provide vehicle info and voila!
