Hahahaha! Agree to disagree. I have the BSM on my 2004 Anthracite, and I love them. Personally I think they lend a "beefier" look to the car, but not "porky." ... ... Ok I don't know how I got two types of meat in there but there's my two cents.
Plus, they're protective. Sorry datmrman if I had gotten to that dissenting post earlier I would have come to your defense before you decided to rip 'em off. Oh well. She still looks great.

I'll add my voice to the chorus here...I think it looks much cleaner without the BSM's. BTW, time to change the avatar...again.

It's alright though. I like the new look and I've kept the BSMs in a safe storage location. Reinstalling them would be a breeze with double sided tape.
Now I'm even more anal about finding a good parking spot.

Datmrman - either way your car looks really great - not a fan of the BSM but also not a big fan of the potential door dings......

Thanks guys.
Luis, I'm looking out for a more advanced iPod integration. Something more advanced than what is currently available.
Not sure if I want to upgrade the sound system. Thats gonna be a lot more $$ to invest.

Thanks. I've been debating about it.
I like the look of the lower suspension, but I'm afraid of 1) sacrificing the ride quality and 2) taking inclines. My driveway is steep and I already have to take it at an angle to avoid scratching the air deflector.
Maybe 19's and 1/2" drop would be sufficient.

Thanks.
I picked up the TL-S spoiler from Tim at hondacuraworld when he had the group buy going at $90. Unfortunately, the price has gone up (way up) since then. There was a thread about it not too long ago. You might want to contact him and see what the current price is. He's usually willing to setup group buys for us.

As for the turn signals. They are chrome bulbs that flash amber. I bought them at http://www.silverbulbs.com, but you can also find them on eBay. Click here for pictures of the bulbs in action.
Let me know if you guys have any other questions. Thanks again for the compliments.

Your car looks great. I just finished installing my a-spec body kit on my WDP today. When I ordered the kit I bought both the regular TL decklid spoiler and the Type S decklid spoiler. My friends and girlfriend think the regular TL decklid spoiler looks better because it rounder on the corners. I like the bigger Type S spoiler. Since you have it installed on your car....I'm wondering whatyour thoughts on this are.
All input is welcomed.
Thanks!

Thanks zoostation. I personally like the Type-S spoiler - thats why I went with it (that and at the time it was only $80
). Here are some pics I posted in post #35.
It's the spoiler.
(reposting pics here since I know people just really look at pics and don't read anything)

Here are some non-Type-S lip spoilers I pulled from the Got WDP - white diamond pearl? thread:
