OEM Kit and Headlights Installed **PICS**

After having my car for 2 years, it's finally all coming together. I just installed the kit this past weekend and did the headlights today. Comments are of course welcome. Enjoy guys!!


Front End.


Just cleaned the engine bay.


Side view.




Rear View.


Exhaust Cleared Nicely.

thanks for the comments guys. the exhaut is actually not touching the rear lip. it was a concern to me before i installed it, but after adjusting it a little, it doesn't touch at all. i think the headlights and the kit made a world of a difference in appearance. i can't imagine how i was riding w/o them for the last 2 years...

The kit definitely improves the looks of the car 1000%. I just wish Acura did a better job of matching WDP. Looks hot, keep it up!

Nice pics!!

P.S. You installed your intake wrong. That metal breather bar/tube you see in front is supposed to be taken off when installing your CAI. Well, it isn't wrong really but you'll end up damaging your hoodliner if you like to open/close your hood a lot.

P.P.S. Don't worry, I did the same thing as you.. hehehe

everything looks good but just one thing, i don't like having different % tints. i had 15% in the fronts and 5% in the rear and back and i didnt like it so i changed my fronts to 5% also and it looks much better

thanks for all the comments guys. i actually didn't do the headlights myself and i got them from a member on this forum. he was parting out his car so i hopped on it.

i would lower it a little more but then it makes it hard to drive and you always have to worry about rubbing and scraping. it's about 1.5'' right now and i think it's perfect for every day driving.

ever since the kit and the lights, i can't stop starring at it... does anyone else know what i mean??

i didn't do anything special to it. i just cleaned it myself with some soap and water. there were a few places that had grease/oil so i just used a degreaser. at first it was hard to clean it but once you 2 or 3 times it gets easier.

which kit are you talking about? body or lights? if you're talking about the lights, everything's plug n play. it was just a hassle swapping out the lights b/c you have to remove the bumber and grill.

you know, everyone was telling me that cleared headlights look better than blacked out ones on a WDP but i thought otherwise. i stuck to my idea and i still think it looks better blacked out because it matches the grill. there are very few WDP with blacked out headlights...

they are actually overlays i got from one of the vendors on this site. if you do a search you'll find it. they're already pre-cut so you just take them and put them over your fogs. instructions are also included and it's easy.
