Thanks! I absolutely love the color it has such depth I just love looking at it... different times of day different lighting and totally different color goes from a dark cabernet red to a firey red... its got 65k on it one previous owner never been repainted all original... so far my plans are replace the tail lights with the 02's the white looks soooo much cleaner then that nasty amber color... next will be a spoiler not sure if I want to go with a lip or a stock spoiler from the dealership... new rims from konig ill get pics... new tires... a tein coil over kit so I can lower her a bit... i want to get a lip spoiler for the bumper but having a hard time finding those then comes engine and peformance work but Ill think about all that once I find a good site to get parts :p

Very nice, sounds like you have it all planned out. For a free mod with some performance gain you can remove the intake resonator, maybe even drop in a K&N filter until you are ready to spend some money on performance.
It will be hard to find the OEM kit for the car as they are very rare. Wings West makes a kit. A lot of people here like to mix the OEM kit with the WW rear. Tailights should def be first. I agree 100%. Good luck and enjoy it.

The car looks great! The paint is immaculate, though it does point out on a car other than my own that Acura can't paint for a damn, hence the orange peel.

got my tail lights in today!! if only I had the car here... grrr... thanks for the tips definently gonna check out wing west
heres the rims Im looking to get... http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...4.3&vid=004933
going to pair those up with these tires... http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...d=004933&ar=50
(had those on my civic and loved them)
thanks for all the compliments Im sure she appreciates it hehe... yeah for everyone who asked last thursday I was driving home from work and my car was struck by a truck tire... the kid had a 94 bronco with the huge tires... did a brake job earlier that day and i guess the moron forgot to make sure the lugnuts were tight and the tire came off as he was driving and hit my front passenger side... *sighs* shes all smacked up
both airbags deployed, headlight smashed, bumper dented, hood mangled, passenger side fender destroyed, grill just snapped off... radio stopped working (weird) looking at about 6k in damages... lucky there isnt any damage to the frame of the car so shell be fine you can actually see the tread of the tire on my bumper and up half of my hood Im very lucky it didnt go through the windsheild... im going to have to get pictures of the damage before the body shop starts pulling her apart... ugh I miss my baby only had her 3 weeks and some moron smacked her up.

Very clean, gotta love the FPR.
Oh, and please don't get eyelids. IMO they don't flow with the car at all. But other than that, looks like your heading in the right direction.

I love my fpr too. last meet went to I was the only one..... there should be more. maybe there weren't enough made, but that's kinda good so I don't see them everywhere.
Hope your car gets fixed soon.
