im not used to seeing that kit too often... looks hot though... way to rep for the ABPs haha... i know many people here like it but personal opinion dont rly like the honda emblems on the acura haha probably just because im not used to seeing it... but hey its your car man ... looks great none the less... chromies look hot on our color.

ps your next mod should be some HID fogs to match the headlights

Beautiful I actually like the rear bumper you just need an exhaust or some longer tips to fill it out. Great job!

is it just me that the paint looks kinda weird? is like not glossy enough...is the whole car repainted or is it just the front and rear...because the side doors looks okay (not great) but the front and rear look worst..

i didnt mold the front bumper cuz the bodyshop guy told me that if i did and hit something on the road i will be very easy to replace the lip instead of the complete bumper and also i noticed that after molding the rear bumper weigh alot more cuz of all the shit they put on there. BTW when i went to the Detailing place to go pick up my car it took them 15 min just to find it cuz they were looking for a acura tl and the car had honda badges. i finilly went out there and said this is my car right here it was the secound car in line. as BTW i went to four allinement shops around here and none of them can get my car on the ramp cuz it starts rubbing. does anyone know of a place i can go to maybe on queens blvd or something.

Thankx 4 all the and and well the car wash ain't paying shit they said cuz it says it on there store policy and yes the rear H is a little slanted. i don't know why it is cuz there are 2 holes that the H goes in so bets me. As far as the AR tags go well i have a friend who is a AR state dealer so since i am only in nyc for maybe another 2 weeks at the most i got some Temp tags from him so i wont have to go register and get insurance and shit. Car was very well maintained so i am just loving it. bought it from a guy in Beverly Hills Cali. gona be driving this thing to WA i hope my tranny dosen't go out on a 3000 Miles trip.

Nice car! How come the front lip looks so "smooth"? It looks a lot more roundish than its supposed to be.

Looks great! Get some Honda center caps now. I believe the accord v6 and the honda oddysey (sp?) will fit, 99-03' years. I actually had to place my order with Mr. Heeltoe for the Inspire front grille because my paypal account got messed up just prior to submitting payment to who you got the grille from and seller did not want to wait for a money order. Again, your car looks good. Keep up the good work.

It looks definetely different and unique, but IMO I like the edges better than the roundness, makes the TL look "fat".
