After looking over and over again....It looks almost exactly the same as JDM Mugen grille on TSX (if you put the MUGEN badge on) I think I am planning to do mine in the next couple months since I have a Mugen spoiler 
btw... why are you getting rid of your car in 12-16 months?

I'm Down Right Fierce!
Thread Starter
Sorry for not respond to your questions guys; 3rd year of law school has been driving me freaking insane, I have tons to do before I take the July bar here in CA. Better late than never though right? 
I plan to sell the TL-S this coming fall or next winter. Hopefully, I can get around $10k for it and use that as a downpayment for a new car. Right now I'm looking at 3 cars:
1. 335 BMW Coupe in Aspen White
2. S2000CR
3. Lexus IS350
Yeah I do have LED turn signals, they're the white 24 bulb kind. And by "corner marker" do you mean the indicator lights? I also have white LED's in there, I think they're either the 4 bulb or 8 Bulb ones. I also have white LED's in the BMW clear side markers. They blink really fast; I need to get that 30 ohm resistor in order for it to blink at normal speed... but I'm too lazy...
If you want me to find the exact bulb types or post a movie on you tube with the LED lights on, let me know, well be more than glad to help you out.
Whats up King. Been a while since I seen you post here in the 2g forums. I feel kinda honored that the guy with the dopest ABP 2nd Gen is responding to my thread.
Good eye. I did prep the surface, and wet sanded between each coat of primer/paint. What you see in the pics is the hood strip immediately after the coat of clear dried. I took it out to see how the paint matched up, and the paint match was good. However, the clear on the hood strip is dull in the pictures; I still hadn't rubbed the clear on the hood strip with rubbing compound.
After the pics, I took off the hood strip and put on another coat of clear and buffed it with rubbing compound to get that "wet" shine.
I'll look into it. But I want to order another emblem, so that I can have a spare in case I want to go back to stock.
30% Medium tint. Used to have Limo tint, till I got a fix it ticket.
1. 335 BMW Coupe in Aspen White (with the Hamann Body kit and 19" Gold BBS wheels!!!) :drooL:
Like so:
2. S2000CR (If I get this, I'm gonna get the spoon sports top and spoon body kit)
Like so:
3. Lexus IS350 (this is probably the most practical car, and I probably wont spend too much modding if I get this one.)
Thanks for the positive comments everyone. I still have love for Acurazine.

I see you have LED turn signals (if I'm looking correctly). Are you running any bulbs in the corner marker?

The "corner markers" that I'm referring to are the bulbs below the blinkers. I believe they are just 168/194 bulbs. Do yours match your turn signals in color? Thanks again.
