Looking for side skirts now

EDIT:

iCrap, the "lip" I bought is the one for the facelifted CU2s (2011+), i.e., the 2 small pieces on each side of the front (08F01-TL2-2G0B). I don't think this lip works on the pre-facelifted CU2s? I might be completely wrong though
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. FUCK YOU.

That's actually amazing. Can you control your radio and cd player/bluetooth though their aswell? Is that an app on your tablet or how does it get the rpm and throttle readings?

Gotta say, I think I do like the black a little more.

The black will give a more murdered out look. Anthracite defines the rim shape a little more? I also do think the anthracite looks much cleaner/less plasti dip feel to it though.

Is your car CBP? If so I think Anthracite + Glossifier will provide a bit of contrast while Black + Glossifier will blend in more and produce the "murdered out look". I have the SE with the gunmetal inserts and imo shiny dark gunmetal is my favorite wheel color. It looks drop dead sexy at night when it reflects the little amount of light there is while the wheel itself is still dark.

Yep. Originally I was going for a gunmetal gray (anthracite) look, because I thought black and black dip would not look good, but then I saw the video I posted a few days back and I actually liked it. Showed both to a friend also and they preferred the black as well. Contrast is a good word to describe the anthracite color, while the black is like a paint match. Good point on the reflection of lighter color.

Still not sure which one to go with!

I'll post a proper pic with my real camera soon... then you can get a better idea. To me, black just looks like you have steelies.

Yea i can do pretty much everything on there, aside from CD player... I don't have that anymore. (who uses CDs anyway?)
That's an app on my tablet yea, it gets the input through a bluetooth OBD adapter.

i would not call myself a guru. but basically i have been advised to put the max your company will match. my company does 5%. And if you are still wanting to save more, put the rest your company doesn't match into a roth/vanguard/etc

also watch this:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontl...rement-gamble/

I knew there were fees and such when dealing with 401ks. but after watching this, 1/3 of your 401k will be gone to hidden fees.

Went to a "Business Direction Meeting" today. Got some really good details on the future of acura branding, and identity. All the issues that have already been brought up here on the forums were addressed, and I'm really happy with the direction we are choosing to go. In the next few years I think you'll finally see acura stepping up to the plate. We have a lot of good things in store for you guys!!

With all the money we have poured into the ACURA NSX, it is safe to say that some "family" based features that R&D has been designing will trickle down to other models in the Acura lineup.

It's pretty exciting stuff, but it just takes time.

This exactly. Unless Acura does this i'll probably end up with an STI or an Infiniti when I replace my TSX..... or turbo my TSX?

That is actually very good pricing. 31k for a base model undercuts the IS250 and the 320i, while the V6 SHAWD is priced similar to the base 328i. If only they offered a sport version and if it didn't look so vanilla/boring

LOL. Which flavor did you try exactly, only one I've had is vanilla. I mean it's basically cream soda, so you probably just don't like the taste overall.

I might be a bit biased tho.. Lived in Cle (Akron) for 5 yrs. and lived 4-5 mins away from his residence. Met him twice. Still trying to sell one of his autographs I have if anyone's interested.
