Acktl05's progress on my NBP TL...What do you think?
So i got my car last summer and kept it stock for awhile except for the tints..
Finally decided to do some mods but installation at every shop was way too expensive...Im one of those guys that rather have their stuff professionally installed than risk messing up doing it myself lol
Acktl05 hooked me up with mad good prices because he does all the installs himself and everything on my car is due to his work so i gotta give him some props
My cars still a work in progress but in one month I think i have done alot so far...let me know what you guys think...
So far Acktl05's installed:
-Alpine Type R and Amp
-Custom fogs (i know alot of members go with the honda accord fogs but that was too expensive in my mind so i got acktl to dremel my bumper and grille and put in a custom fog kit that he gets for a good deal)
-Wire up the fogs with 8000k HID kit
-My front aspec lip
-New Tail Lights ( I used to have the stock 05...but I picked out the 07 base tails and had him modify them to the way i wanted)
-Window Visors
-Cut up vinyl himself and tinted 1/2 my headlights
-Nightshaded my sidemarkers to match
thats what i got so far what do u guys think i should add next?
Future mods he will install
1)Finish up kit with aspec side skirts and aspec rear
2) j pipe (atlp v2 or xlr8?)
3) Exhaust (still debating what to get... ideas??)
4)PCDs
5)coilovers
6)....

You are off to a great start man! I like everything so far.
If I were you I would take the time to properly black out the headlights and take that tint off. I went from the 1/2 tint to blacked out headlights and I'll never go back

looks awesome, bruce made the same tails for me, I love them.
As for exhaust, I just got ATLP quads, and I HIGHLY recommend getting one. A little pricey but well worth it (plus resale value is very good)

i plan on getting them blacked out with zkw swap but this was a "less expensive" mod haha and the quality of the vinyl is real good

you just read my mind about to quads lolll
ive been thinking bout getting the atlp quad for the longest time and having acktl dremel the bumper and put type s aspec on.
but the exhaust is so damn expensive....eventually tho gotta save up

You also gotta look at it as an investment, they are in such high demand and so popular that you can always sell it for maybe a 20% loss down the road if you dont like it or need some cash.

the third brake light is also good because when u get ur car tinted ...shops usually dont tint under the brake light so there is an empty rectangle with no tint...the third brake light just makes it all look flush and fills in the gap
and ya ill eventually black out my headlights just not enough money to do all that right now
ill post more pics once ack color matches the grille

I like how everything has come out so far. That third brake light, like said before, just looks odd. It's out of place, and you can clearly see the outline of the sticker. Other than that, I like what you have done

i think its just the picture because when looking at the car in person the third brake light looks flush and in place.. its completely centered and i like it because theres no empty spot from the shop not tinting it there lol
ill post better pics later

WOw looks good who did that? I think next we are going to de-badge your car and paint the strip above the license plate and the "A" color match. We can also lightly tint the reverse lights like I have them.
