The white tails and white interior pieces are a bit much IMO, but I love everything else. I really like your taillight renderings.

love the photo skills! think im still adjusting to the tails since ive never seen them modded like that 
any plans on giving those aspecs some paint? i've seen DIYs that they plastidip first few layers and then apply paint afterwards. if not, the stock aspec color looked really good from the first post!

I was actually thinking about refinishing them myself either a dark gunmetal or gloss black, but the plastidip helped alot hiding the wear on the aspecs. The chrome was peeling off
the interior pieces are wrapped in matte white vinyl not painted..
and yes Ack does greaaaat work!
scroll down a bit more for some big time repair bill..
Do you have a pic of yours? I would love to look
Thank you Mr. Bell!! Oh yea I requested up top for a thread name change to "Byomes' WDP TL-S Progress Thread" thanks in advanced

So I went to Park Ave Acura in Maywood, NJ the other day and look what they showed me...
+5k in repairs????!?!?!?!
I'm guessing the LCA bushing are torn bc of my ride height being low without a camber kit... anyone out there that had similar problems, want to throw in some help?? I know I'm definitely going to find a local mechanic for the fixes, IF they are even an issue..

Due to the interest in the teaser shot (1 person: Mr. Steven Bell), i decided to get busy this past weekend.
Last weekend I picked up a set of varrstoen es2 Front:18x9.5 +12 215/40 Rear:18x10.5 +15 on federal 595s.
this was the test fit
found a shop in jersey city (tstraction) to roll my rear fenders for me, Amyn (below) took great care of the paint and was very thorough with the job. Great guy + prices.
2nd test fit after fender roll
side
eyeing camber + toe and a couple hours later
going in for an alignment real soon + more photos this week!

lol, I should make a poll for my tails huh? I'm quite curious how many dislike em. If i recall correctly general consensus liked them on deathmetal's wdp, but not on mine =/
Next on the list is to adjust my ride height. My rears are rubbing on bumps, inclines, etc. Maybe change up my tires up front. The 215/40s are pretty damn thin... to close for comfort. I'm also on a hunt for an exhaust and some white lug nuts (cant seem to find em other than ).

I'm not a fan of deathmetal's tails either. 
But you're car is certainly far far away from "meh"
As long as you're pleased with them, that all that matters. They just aren't my taste. Haha
And holy shit that's a thin tire.

i've seen you driving around the area, your car looks nicely done in person so im a fan. Don't know if you put a front plate on but i've got an RJ kit on my car and have refused to put a front plate on. If you put the plate in your windshield you should be okay if you're willing to get defensive when a cop gives you trouble. The law in jersey essentially only requires that a front plate be at a certain height and facing forward but does not ever state that it must be on the front bumper. Happy modding nd st pattys day

unfortunately no...I really wanted to make a mold for new headlights but my interests went elsewhere lol
hey man didn't see or update this thread in awhile, if you are still interested let me know.
thank you very much
lol I want to say I had em first! theres more of the skunk colorway on the way 
Sup azine, its been awhile!
So after a couple of nasty potholes and hidden train tracks, my passenger rear coilover (k-sports) decided to blow on me. After riding on a blown suspension for about a month I decided to pull the trigger on a set of tein SS from the BM. Dear lord, I should have just bought em in the first place. The ride is much better.
I also sold the varrstoen 2.2.1s bc they were too aggressive for a dd
BUT i got something else to share
