thank you sir. the rotors are Racing Brake 2 piece rotors for the front and one piece in the rear, pads are RB ET500 with SS brake lines, using stock Brembo calipers. sure i'll mod your ride, only if i could use your money

i think i want to put my stock hood back on.... looks cleaner than my car with the CF hood
dont do it i like the CF hood, if anything paint it like others have done on the sides and leave the middle.

how did you get the door sills to light up like that? Did you have to carve out the metal in the "Acura" and then install LEDs? Man I want this but in RED.

Nice work on the strut bar you are an innovator, I will just have to wait for the RV6 one to work with the EDFC.

Couple more questions for you, how do you like the Invos so far compared to the T1Rs? Better, worse, same?

Also what are the specs on the wheel size/offset and tire size? I can't recall if you mentioned it in the teaser thread or not. Oh and I can't believe I did not get the wheels right I thought I had it lol

i cant really compare them too much yet i have only had them for like a day, but i can tell you right away they seem softer and quieter than the T1R's. i liked the T1R's if the invos hadn't come out i would have got them again. front 19x8.5 +33 tires 235/35/19 rears 19x9.5 +35 245/35/19

invos where cheaper by like $45 a tire. i know that cuz i was actually gonna get the T1R's at first. the nittos have slightly less sidewall to them which i like, they look kinda stretched, the T1R's have more of a block shaped sidewall, if that helps

thanks brother, before i do anything to my ride i think about it for a while, just to see how i can make it my own and add my personal touch to it. the engine for example, CF wrapped cover, i still have yet to see anyone that has done this to their type-s. the braille CF battery, not a ugly stock tie down. but my own personal design, using a peice of thick clear plexi, to show it off, the engine cover for it, cut out replaced with another piece of plexi again to show it off. all the other engine covers are actually painted WDP professionally at a body shop. the braided hoses, the catch can the radiator breather tank the grounding kit, the mounting bracket for it my design.i polished the TBi guess you could say i went alittle crazy under the hood. alot of time and $$ went into that, but hey i loved doing it. it was fun. thats why we all do this and why we are on here soo much. we love our rides, and have fun personalizing them

i know, i know the trunk set up is next, i've had alot of time to think about it. i will be making it soon, i miss that crazy system, stock sound sucks. all i can say is that IT WILL BE A VERY CLEAN SET-UP

dude, i still love my nbp but, if i had to go wdp, then, yours would be it!

not to be personal but, about how much $dime$ you drop on all these mods? just wanted to get a ballpark idea on how much it would cost to bring mine up to speed.
