Dude, I REALLY like it-it looks great. Don't touch it!

Just leave it for a few months-you'll grow to like it.....I promise.

I would paint it black, or at least plasti dip it black so you can go back and forth.

Updates : changed out the power steering o ring but I still get this whine/whistle when I step on the gas only

Changed out the rear pcd with a fixed welded one. For some reason the rear pcd keeps on cracking ( maybe my mounts are going bad )





Also installed a stock size ur pulley which I got for cheap haven't test drove the car but hopefully it feels a bit better.



Lowered the ride a bit more for my taste

one of the mounts might be doing bad....

couple folks with the RV6 precats experienced cracking because they were using different mounts (solid upfront and OEM in the rear). So it only make sense that one of the mounts is going bad or maybe already bad....

shit i think my post got deleted...

you can get mounts from either XLR8 or IM...


they range from 60A bushing stiffness to 90A....if you use it as a daily driver get the 60A....mind you, there will be tons of vibrations coming into the cabin with the 60A as well....but its worth it....

What's up with the "Wheel House" sticker on your windshield? Is that there so you get a discount on some baller wheels?

Sweet ride. I didn't read the whole thread yet so maybe it's been covered, but spacers in the plans?

Very nice progress so far, WDP FTW! I know it's your uncle's shop and you may want to advertise for him with the sticker, but how about a smaller one on each side of the car on the dead windows in the back? A huge banner across the windshield is kinda tacky and really takes away from the look of the car.

I had spacers when I first lowered my car but took them off in order
to reduce some weight :P


Here's a little update guys and gals..

As of now I'm full UCM ; ultimate cooling mod. Until I finish up cutting/drilling the holes. I know the circles aren't perfect but it's good enough.




Adding some blacked out mesh " chicken wire "
to keep out big leafs and what not..



Washed the whip and went out to a Photoshoot really quick with my friend, also an Acura owner









Also George aka paperboy came to visit me at the shop to seal up my headlights

took me WAYYYY too long to cut out the circles to my liking. they are not perfect but i finally got them done today at work.
i couldn't live with the huge 3" + gap with the full UCM =X


and to my surprise they look good









also i have my mdx spacer with all parts needed to put on for sale !

Of course I'm very handy It takes a lot patience, took me awhile but I'm happy with the out come. To tell you the truth I felt a huge improvement in my car with the full UCM. Hopefully my " holes " will work well also
