London by far had the best cars but I was there on the weekend and the hotel guy told me that on the weekend they usually show off their whips and during the week everyone takes the Underground. Either way I'm not complaining the car porn was on point.

Decent day car spotting in berlin

Saw the "usual" Porsches those things sound so awesome going through city streets. MEOW

2 Previous Gen M5 Wagons? Not sure if they are legit M5 Wagons/were they even official? but they looked good.

New E class 63/65 AMG and new S Class 63/65 AMG.

Kinda torn which looks better now A6 avant or E class wagon, angular lines are so win, new 5 series wagon hasn't dropped yet I believe so yeaaa.

Masserati GT

Aston Martin Vanquish

I also saw a golden brown MB SLS being towed somewhere

Saw a lonely Honda s2k LOL

Not into Ford but Ford in Europe gets some respect and I gotta say that Ford Focus RS is a diiiiiiirrrrrtttty car looks so good specially with a bright eye catching colour.

Wish North America got the new VW Scirrocco as well, that car looks so good as it is but looks so ready for rims and a nice drop.

Saw a camouflaged MB SUV looked to be ML sized, didn't knew a revamp was already in the works.

Highlight of course...

CU2 WAGON HOLLLLAAAAAAAAA looked quite tiny next to the new BMW 7 series/ Audi A8's and MB S Class' parked around Hotel Adlon near Brandenburg Gate

Amsterdam in the AM last country for this trip.

Miss driving the TSX LOL

If I visualize that car with a JDP front lip, darker headlights, yellow fogs and that grille but it has an A, it almost seems like a reality...sadly that grille...is not a reality yet

Painted

Can't tell from the shitty BB pics but I guess that adds to the teaser. Will be installed this Thursday

Sorry this is taking a while guys.

At least it will be done before the HT Grille

Before you scroll down...please take it easy on the "Ewww your car is dirty!!!" Washed then it rained the next day FML

Having said that told ya I'd get it installed eventually
Can I officially say 1st in Canada and MAYBE the US?

















1) Install took 30 mins LOL, the shop didn't remove the front bumper it snapped right in apparently

2) Held underneath by 5 bitch clips and dbl sided tape on the sides

3) Will RJ, VIS and or an Acura Dealership now donate some rears and sides PLEASE

4) For those wondering/looking the headlights have LaminX it's not the camera they are that much darker

5) Yes Coils and Rims are next up

6) Proper pictures when next a photoshoot goes down

Thanks alot bro

It is quite subtle, wudn't notice it unless you looked but that's fine with me. Low key and classy is the way I'm going with here

You can leave it nude CF if you want you have a black car so it'll look good. I chose to paint it cuz I wanted to focus on the lip with the CF as contrast. Plus if I left it nude CF the rest of the body kit would have to be CF

Anyone have experience with D2?

looks good nate!!

and like i said at the club, might be 1st in canada, but def. not first in US lol

and i dont wanna jizz on your parade (that's the saying right?) but it doesnt seem like the paint is matching up to the car very well? it seems darker on the lip


but nonetheless, it looks badass! i am still debating weather or not to get a replica, cheap but doenst fit that well, or get this or legit type s lip

That lip looks so classy and subtle on your car, like if you saw it by itself you would think it's stock but put it next to another CU2 and you know that shit is top notch. Well done Mr.NC. One of the most subtle, yet classy, CU2s on these board and will only get better with your future mods

Thanks bro, gotta catch up to you haha. I like the cleared corners look, not so much the switchbacks tho. Cooking my headlights is proly whats holding me back. I'm fine with the LaminX for now. Are you getting yours done?

Its "rain on your parade" haha (Not sure if trolling or oblivious)

It looks darker cuz its clean whereas my car is covered by 2 days of dust and rain spots lol. But it is a paint match. It also looks darker cuz the CF is reflected against the lip thats against the sides

So just looking at the sides and rears to complete the kit...it seems like the only 1 that actually flows with the JDP front splitter is MUGEN......

Prices for Mugen and OEM Aero are quite comparable...surprisingly enough..well except for the shipping since Mugen will obviously have to come from the Land of the Rising Sun

Decisions Decisions.....

i was concerned this might be bulky, but this complements the lines of the car perfectly. Good job JDP. Now if only they made a full kit
