Thanks

This was right before Wek'Fest Chicago last year if I recall correctly, therefore I took a few nights and 3 stage buffed & polished this thing followed by a coat of wax....But 3M Perfect-It-II
Perfect-It-II foampad glaze-Dark
Meguires Gold Glass
I've since found other waxes to try out. In all honesty, dont be fooled it has dents/dings/chips/scratches, just need to find time to re-spray it, and of course add the A-Spec kit, but wedding funds is where my $$$ goes....smh! lol

Wheels are Work Emotion CR-Kai's 18x9.5+20 all around
(I have added the work decals on the wheels)

nicely done! I think your oem wheels would look better stock color...were they painted or plastidipped?!?!

The crossbar is held on with 5 small screws...I bet if you tugged hard enough, you could rip it off. Weird theft though...

LOVE the inspire fogs...they look excellent.

They're actually not very pricey at the dealership if you can get the employee discount. Yeah, happy you're peeling them, loving the progress so far.

Well thank you much!
Nothing really for now...taking a break. I was getting nuts with practically spending all free time messing with her...fiancee gets annoyed. Now I'm just enjoying driving her and doing maintenance. Waiting to see if the honda urea grease kills my squeaky clutch...otherwise, new master cylinder will be in my near future.

^^^we know you do!

Sourial...yeah man...it started off by doing it sometimes, but it's gotten much worse over the years. We'll see how long this Honda grease lasts...I don't FEEL like changing it, that's for sure.

Italiano I am not really wheel crazy like some of the other members I do however own a set of 18x8.5 aspec maybe throw on a 15mm spacer up front 20mm in the rear. I also have thought about xxr 521 in matte black with gold rivets 18x8.5 front 18x10 rear +25 all around but those wheels are starting to become "me to wheels" as well as some other ones if you get what I am saying. Other than that I always have my eyes open for new ideas but I know myself wheel will probably take sometime to get as for I have other thing i would like to cross off my to do list

Sourial...this last go around I did 235/40 tires...and corrected camber with upper arms and rolled fenders...that was with a 10MM V1 spacer up front and 20 V2 on the rear. I loved the way it looked...

Actually, kinda wish my fiancee wasn't rockin the aspecs on her 8th Gen Accord so I could swap back and forth.

Chris...you know it, man. I'z a pic hoooahhhh! I loved the Vossens originally and always wanted THOSE, but they got old pretty quick. Notice all the Vossen guys rock em for about 3 months and then BAM, they're gone.

Hmmm...if so, you're stuck with clean up duty!
No, just thought it was funny that his purpose was removing Acura from the front of the car but then rocking VOLK stickers on the wheels. That's all...not trying to strong arm him into the Domed Decal at all...I'm actually wondering if he even know what Aaron was talking about.

Uhhh...the decal fits in the part that says "ACURA", in the bumper, the decal doesn't restrict air flow whatsoever.
