Actually, I am the number 2 owner. Some one in St. Louis bought this car and a month later turned the car back in. It had 600 miles on it when I bought it.

I might still do the UR Pulley. But Winter has set in here in KC, so it's been very difficult to keep anything clean.

Oh well, wait until Spring.

Great job. Look forward to meeting with you and other members in kc once I get my tls. It's gonna take some time. Financial issues. But when I do it's great to see the community come together and help. I'm in opks btw. Currently drive an rx8. Ugh.

Thanks I'm in PV 83rd and Nall general area. What's fast Fridays? I actually think I stumbled on you guys meeting once at Hollywood casino at the top parking garage. Or maybe it was Harlan's or Ameristar. Lol either way I was in the rx8 and would of stopped but figured you didn't want my car there cramping your style.

Question

Nice car Steven. I like that front lip better than the tls one. Good call. Hey what's the other lip called? The one that looks like it has a smaller darker grey piece on it in the front kinda looks like a spliter? I like that version also. Would that fit on a TLS?

Don't you just LOVE living in ks where we don't have vehicle inspections? Hehe. No front plate. Darkest tint (for the most part ) that we want.

Tyler, that was taken at the post office. I was at the end parking spot, so I moved over more, as to not get any door dings! So there is no parking spot to the left of my Type S.


Kurt (the new guy), YES!....I love no license plate in the front, for sure. And in Kansas, you get the car inspected once (when you buy it) and that's it!

My tints are 20%-legal % in Kansas is 20%.



Dan-it does, but it's just natural lighting that makes it look like that.

Steven yes I know that I live in opks. I was astonished when I moved here from mo. And they said I had to get my car inspected and all they did was look at my vin. My mouth dropped to the floor. And when I found out legal tint was 20% I got a woodie. No kidding. Mo sucks and ill never register a car there ever again. Lol.

***** for those of you who don't live in Johnson county kansas there is ONE thing you prob have that's better than us. CHEAPER PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES!!!*****

I'm with you Kurt-I'll never go back to Missouri either! I can stand the higher Personal Property Tax in lieu of no front license plate and no annual inspection.

I had not heard from Tim with a tracking number yet, so today, so I decided to call him for it. As it turns out, he tried to e-mail me Friday afternoon to let me know that Acura has stopped making the front nose too....I did not get his e-mail on Friday!

He found 2 front Aspec noses left in the country for me. I called the first Acura dealership-they still had the nose in stock and I scooped it up immediately.

So now, all 3 Aspec Kit pieces are coming in from 3 separate dealerships. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that they all make it to my house!
So those of us who want an aspec kit a SOL? I haven't bought my TLS yes but am going to as you know and want the aspec kit. If this is true I'm deeply saddened.

Can you recommend a good aftermarket company perhaps? I think I'm gonna cry

I really think I'm to a point where I'm done modding. Now, I'm just enjoying it!......unless Anil finds something that I've got to do to it.


Anil, maybe I had one too many "0's" in there, but.........
