@lights: I haven't gotten into any trouble with cops for the blue plate cover. I see them all over the place now, I dont think cops care about that anymore.
@guitarplayer16: Yea, I kept the old plate.
As for the cleaning products, I used Sonax for the wheels (best wheel cleaner I've ever used, didn't even have to scrub, just apply and rinse).
http://autogeek.net/paintwork-clay-pad-applicator.html This was by far the best part of the car wash. The clay bar adapter turned a 2 hour job into 15 mins.
We used the Pinnacle XMT swirl remover 2 with orange cut pad. Then Pinnacle Souveran car wax with black pad, and Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 with red pad.

hey man nice car, I might have seen you around once in a while as I am ALWAYS in Scarborough (I drive a Stock NBP TL-S). Where exactly in Scarborough are you anyway? & just incase your wondering a friend of mine has a TL-S in KBP and there is another guy here in Markham who has a KBP TL-S w/ A-spec kit, so you are not alone lol. See you around bro.

Im live in the Steeles and Warden area and work at Warden and Eglinton. I just saw the other guy from nextmod during their 10 year anniversary with the done up KPB TL-S with the a-spec kit, so I guess there is more than just one in Toronto. He has yellow tints on all his lights which I don't like very much. I'm only going to tint my fogs yellow.
But here's an update on the 3M Carbon Fiber interior, just bought 8sq ft from nextmod the day of their anniversary so there was a discount, paid $80 for the roll. Didn't even have to take off any panels, just heat up and exacto

Just got in the alloy pedals from the group buy, and I must say, they look better in person than they do in the pictures. The engravings look AMAZING. I took some closeup pics so I hope it shows how nice the depth is on the letters. Sadly my weekend just passed so I have to wait till next tuesday/wednesday to get these installed.

Man, you're really knocking out those mods on your Type S! Everything looks great-especially the Carbon Fiber interior. Keep it up!

I'm just trying to keep up with everyone else on here, lol I just messaged JnC about the headlights, might pay him a visit in October since I'm heading down there for a few days. Anyone know of any shops around NYC or Massachusetts where I can get a set of 19' Work VS-XX's and for how much? They charge an arm and a leg here in Toronto for all upgrades, one of the shops quoted me $3500 for a set.

It was $87 shipped for the set, great price if you ask me. (Even cheaper if you're in the states, shipping to Canada costed me a bit more) Very nice brushed aluminum material and engraved Acura word/symbol. Looks very classy!

So I went out to tackle my pedals today and instead went to Cantire, bought a Micheline 3-1/2 ton jack and 4 stands 5L of Mobil 1 synthetic and did my own oil change instead. lol It wasn't too hard for doing my oil change for the first time ever in my life. Whoever did the last one on this car gorilla'ed the oil drain bolt on and it was sooo hard to take off, but eventually, it gave in. I went to the Markham Acura dealership (very good service) and bought the oil filter and the replacement washers for $12. After the change, the car felt so much nicer to drive and a lot quieter as well. I'm going to see if I have time during the week to do the pedals and probably going to do an ATF change to Redline D4 after reading all the good things about that oil.

Mmmm I like that deal pedal. I'm still waiting on the deal pedal group buy to fill up. I don't really mind for the "A" on the gas or brake, but it does look good nonetheless ( in other words I'm cheap lol )
