The grill as it is now actually flows with the car alot better then if it were to be black. If I had a Gringo then I'd paint it in a heartbeat lol

Tan interior isnt my taste. Well the newer Tans which seems to be a darker shade compared to previous Tans. I really wanted Taupe but woopee, Acura dosnt have that combo with BWP for some odd reason as the two colors go well with eachother >.> so I went Ebony


Ed, for the bottom half yes lol. Top half I used some pic I got off Google XD
Shit! I knew it was missing something :\

The sketch does look good. I'm so excited to get my car! I'm most likely going with Black and tan with tech. First thing I'll do is have my grill painted black. I'll do the fog covers myself if the shop charges too much. Replace 4300k lowbeams with 6000ks. 6000k hid fogs. Nokya DRLs. I'll make a build thread next week.

Eventually-
tints
clear headlights
vled switchbacks

i want those really bright white/blue reverse lights which i don't really have any clue about right now i've seen it around the forums.

and everything else i need to start saving up for.

any suggestions/comments? sorry i'm talking like this is my thread

lol no prob for the thread jack XD

A few things though...
Why are you changing out the low beams?
You getting the grill color matched?
Foglight covers color matched as well?

As for the reverse lights, you can swap out the halogen ones with LED bulbs and get that look. But don't cheap out on them as you might loose light output with cheap LED's

yes i want the grille and covers color matched. i hope i find a shop that does it well.

i want my low beams to be brighter and match my fogs. aren't the low beams yellowish?

Ahh I see, well hopefully you find a good price and shop to do that for ya
Going from 4300k to 6000k is actually DECREASING your light output. The higher you go in temperature the less light you get. And nope, 4300k is the closest you get to pure white. 6000k has a blueish tint to it

yeah maybe i'll stick to that for now. I've seen people with really bright fogs are those 3000k hids or a tint cover like laminx?

trying to look for a dependable LED reverse haha

Really bright as in yellow? If so then yeah. Stock halogens with a yellow film are pretty decent but if you're talking about bright BRIGHT then they're probably HID's. 3000k and Lamin X is what I have planned

Heh, its really not that hard ot find decent LED's. Just search around a bit and you'll find em~

newkidd, the brightest and best light is at 4300K. below that is yellowish, above is blue to purple. the bright fogs you see would likely be 4300-5000K HID bulbs.

are you getting a TSX in Georgia or NY? if you want, i can send you my dealers info from north jersey, he gave stak(also a new yorker) the best deal around a few months ago

I'm in atlanta 31,500ish is a good price for a TSX with tech right? its almost 2k below MSRP. I don't care about the ILX lol TSX all the way.

Ben, oh fail, missed your post for some reason lol but a Canon 600d/T3i or even the 550d/T2i would be a good starter camera. Even though Im a Nikon user I prefer those for the lower range bodies as they're ALOT easier to use compared to Nikon's lower range bodies. Also better video capabilities

newkidd Not really sure, I think the site has them for sale or something but maybe you can find a fellow AZ member near you that has extra's. Or ask for the vector and get em made yourself I guess

i just contacted a few body shops I think it's like 200 to have your grill and everything paint matched... if i get black, does anyone think plastidipping it looks fine? Need to learn how to remove bumper and all.

200 seems like a good deal but to be honest, PlastiDipping is the best bang for your buck. Look though the photography section and you can find a some photo's of plastidipped grills. It looks pretty dam good with Gringo's so I assume it'll look good on Black as well. As for the bumper removal, theres a thread for that already.

I'll do a quick chop for you later if you cant find any pics
