Volk!

I just put my new rims on, though I haven't really had time to take any good pictures, anyway all I have for now is a few cell phone pics. Also, kit is being put on soon!

I suggest you get a nice detail job on that paint and also polish out hose headlights before you do anything. Also, since your putting your kit on soon, the freshly painted pieces will look too new compared to the rest of the car, especially the front.

Yea, once I have time I'm going to claybar, polish and wax it. My bumper got tons of chips over the winter, so Im probably just going to get it repainted.

Yea, I see your point, but I still think it looks better than the stock grill. I do want a saber grill, but I like my acura badges.

Nice wheels. A tad lower for it to sit right. But your car is coming together very well.

Yeah man change up that grill!

The rims look sexy, just put the stock one back on and black out the chrome, sans A badge! it'll be a good stop gap till the saber

Update

No more mesh or stickers. Also my attempt at night photography with only a cell phone. As soon as I get time to adjust the coil overs i'm going lower.



The headlights are 5000K, but for some reason they look extremely blue

Finally kitted!

I finally pieced together a kit. I had to drive a total of about 16 hours to get all the pieces. Unfortunately someone backed into me in a parking lot today , and the driver side rear door and bumper both need repainted. So these are the only pictures I have for a while. I am just thankful the rims were not damaged.

Before the kit, I thought the background was cool



Before the accident




Hopefully I will be able to take some better pictures when the car is actually clean in a few weeks.
