Yea lemme atleast get my Aspecs powder coated gunmetal before that!
I really tried to get it off my wrecked TLS but i couldnt get it off with my hands w/o fucking it up. This one i just got is completely debadged so im type s badgeless
. I did just order my aspec badge so i think thats the only thing im going to keep on the trunk.
Yea i already got the grill on order along with my red type s badge to put on it just like the other one. My body shop guy is super busy wont be installed for about 3 weeks. As far as modding im sort of torn. my options are with what funding i have is
-Tein SS w/ my edfc
-CF Hood with the sides painted WDP
-black roof
-custom grill
setup 2 is
-full exhaust (pcd,catback,jpipe)
-AEM v2 (which i will prolly wait awhile to order since it really doesnt do a damn thing but make vtec louder.
thanks alot MAD PROPS to all the support i got from you guys.
Congrats! Drop that bitch and we need to do a photoshoot

ive done so many posts and PMs about the grill IN this thread. Anyways last time im posting up about it. I got it from Cmod grills.
-YOU WILL HAVE TO CUT UP YOUR FRONT BUMPER ALOT
-make sure you have a very talented body guy to do this install.
-If he cuts to much your fucked and will have to buy a new front bumper.
-My guy does all kinds of professional work on show cars and stuff. Hes painted all my cars and motorcycles and does all the bodywork i need.
the grill is 199+shipping
ive heard alot of horror stories about ppl installing this grill and dont get me wrong it fits fine but like i said make sure the person doing the install is a legit professional. Acura integrated the front grill into the bumper so theres no way around the cutting. hope that helps.

all these boxes are just piling up in my room! sux going to school full time and working full time. i have zero time to install any of these parts or have any down time. Everything has arrived and will be going on the week of the 7th since im out of class for the week. Anyone know anything about carbon fiber trunks? my friend knows a guy who can make me a CF trunk if he takes a mold of my oem one, but is gonna cost me a pretty penny. i know my car is getting the grille installed, v2 powdercoated and installed roof painted black next week ill post pics soon as its up. As far as the teins sitting in my room i will have to a day soon to install those. going for a 2 1/2in or 2 3/4 drop like on my NBP TLS. well see how it plays out.

CF trunk? Crazy shit. I can only imagine how much a one-off piece like that would cost.
I want my roof painted

After hella wrench time this weekend i am proud to say that me and one of my friends managed to put on the tein SS's, EDFC, and CT short shifter. Sounds so much easier listing it then doing it. The TLS is dropped about 2.5in now and going to the body shop to get the rest of my goodies installed this week since im on spring break. Pix coming soon!
