Sorry, here we go... I have been meaning to put up some pics.

 

The job looks really clean but sorry man, their not "doing it" for me. I'm still a gloss black with white lettering kind of guy. But to each his own. You are the one that has to be satisfied.

 

Yeah it takes a little getting used to, but it's different. Turns heads

 

i really like the very first pic of your car, very clean

 

I like it a lot GJ

 

Here are a few more... got a little carried away with the camera.

 

I apologize... the pics came out bigger this time. I think I copied and pasted the wrong links. Next mod illuminated sills and dom's nav conversion (whenever I get some time).

 

yo where in htown u get it done and how much?

 

your car looks pretty good. I really like the way it looks.

 

Is that red button for an oil realease tank like in james bond?

im guessing nav hack to switch dvds to nav

 

Car looks pretty mean from the back. I like it.

 

Looks 10x better than red calipers. I was wanting to do something alittle different than the norm also. I really like that blue!

 

Thanks for all the comments guys. This is the first new car that i've bought. I never expected to do anything to the car, because quite frankly it looks so good stock. I just happened upon this site and i've been hooked ever since.

I took a risk on the blue calipers. I wanted something similar to my blue L.E.D interior. I think it came out pretty good and it looks much better in person.

If you look at the back and front I decided to color that plastic material. The front edge bumper has been painted all black. Around the exhaust I had it color matched and the center was painted black. This balances the whole back end pretty well.

The plastic on the bumper that has been painted looks stock. The guy did a very clean job. The only problem I have is with the front grill. It gets chipped It's not supposed to do that. I've been using touch up paint and as you can see from the pic it's not that noticeable. I called the body shop and they said maybe the painter used the wrong paint and that they'll take care of it. Other than this i'm very happy.

Thanks again guys, I will continue to read all your posts for ideas for my next mods.

 

your car looks AMAZING. Is that spoiler from the dealership?

 

EndofFile the spoiler is from the dealership. I think you can buy them off ebay at a good price color matched.

 

I like the way the A-spec kit was painted

 

what did you use to tint your tailights and sidemarkers?

 

Rockblocker. Check out www.rbaftermarket.com, or www.rockblocker.com

 

Candy pink would turn heads too




j/k man, looks different. Interesting accent.

 

I've looked at the pictures several different times today before I posted to see if my opinion would change. At first I thought it looked a little weird. Its starting to grow on me. Not something I would do personally but it doesnt look bad and gives the car a little something extra to stand out with without being over the top.

I also really like the front of your car. Personally, I'd black out the headlights but either way it looks great.

 

looks great... i see some modded TL's around town, but I don't think I've ever seen any cars from AcuraZine on the roads of H-Town.. i know yall are out there somewhere!

 

Some suggestions to try. Maybe add additional blue accents. Perhaps get some doorguard molding, paint it blue and put it on the lower grill up front. Also add either blue pinstripe or more molding to the handle centers

 

Are these lights legal in Cali or will I get a fix it ticket?

 

thnx, do you have the 35% or 20%?

 

keichan82 -I don't even know if the lights are street legal in Texas. It's a tint... worst case scenario I'd take them off.

EndofFile- I got the darkest tint (35%). I just think it looks better this way with the paint work and blacked out emblems.

 

wouldnt the darkest be 20%? BTW, how dark is your window tint?

 

Based on www.rockblocker.com 35% Dark smoked tint means 70% light output (don't ask me how they did the math ) and smoked 20% means 83% output. From my understanding this means the 20% is not as dark because it lets more light out. Hope this helps. Anyone else is welcome to give there thoughts.

Factory window tint. I think it's 35%

 

feeling everything except hte grill... just looks a bit out of place.
sickl car tho.

 

Your car looks awesome, had I not gone with an NPB my plans were almost the same as yours with the color scheme. I would have def. gone with some darker window tint thought. Just my ..... Lookin good!

 

Your kidding right?

 

Just saw the big brake kits on the group buy page and fell in love with that blue. Wish I had the $$$. $2700 for both front and back a little too rich for my blood. But damn it looks good.

A mechanics shop told me that they'd drill holes in my rotors, never asked how much. What do you guys think?

 

DON'T DO THAT! When crossdrilled and slotted rotors are available and inexpensive

 

Why not give it a shot? total cost probably under $5 and it would take 5 seconds to undo

 

Cuz it'll look nasty as hell

 

Nahhh...the percentage is the amount of light that is allowed to pass through the glass ... the lower the percentage the darker the tint. 5% is the darkest tint, aka limo tint, allowing 5% of light to pass plus the factory tinting of course. If you had limo tint you could not see through the car - like a limo!

Let search be your friend! :-P

 

Maybe. You'll never know though.

 

 

can we get more pics with the iforged monaco's? those things are hooooooooooooot.

 

Not Rockblocker...they measure their's the opposite way.
