Beason: Thx. Total cost was under $1100 (kit, wing & paint). Install was free = DIY w/friend's help

shimbo: yes, because of the angle (or did I purchase the J-Lo option )

Blue: drop?? wait-n-see coming soon

actually there's other things I need to invest my $ in. so for now...probably end up w/just springs. I think I'd rather go w/headers before coilovers, or something as fun as "bags".

thanks again.
Actually, it's just an illusion. There's no exhaust, those are the 3A Racing tips on the stock exhaust.
No springs yet. And nothing done to the interior yet. I just got the car in March '02, and I'm taking my time. Oh yeah, I did tint the windows w/38% Pure Titanium tint and added a black interior visor to the rear window to cover the dot matrix

NO, my VIN hasn't been affected by the recall. Hopefully I have a lasting water pump.

I have had some minor problems here and there, but all fixed under warranty.

Nice Kit of choice baggsTLS . Over all clean and nice lookin'. But I don't really dig the 4x4 look tho. Sorry if u were offended by wut I just said. Now I am pondering if I should get the WW rear lip so that I can hide the GReddy EVOs a little more.

Payce~!

hey Baggs nice ride!! Where did you get the kit and the flushmount wing? where did you get it painted and was the wing DIY as well? Cause I'm in the SoCal area too and i was wondering where to get a good price for the wing and the kit? Anyone else know a good place to get the kit for? I heard South Coast Acura gives a good deal.

baggs did the visor you used for the dot matrix just vinyl or did the tint shop use a material that you can see through?

you may have other purchases and i never intended to drop my ride at all. however once you spend that kind of cash for a body kit, a little extra for some h&r sport springs will make all the money on the body kit worth it. when i brought my ***** home after 4 hours at acura and 1200 dollars later, i told my wife i was disappointed. then i was told to lower and i did, it couldnt hurt. man the body kit took on a whole new life. makes the kit one sick addon.
