Very nice ride dude. As fellow Texan and AM owner, it is interesting to know that we both decided to name our cars Monica. For the S techs, do you have them on stock shocks? If you dont mind me asking, how many miles are on the stock shocks? I have around 93k on mine and I have already decided to go with the S Tech as I had them on my prelude and they were great but I am wondering if I should get some KYB shocks while I'm at it given the amount of miles on the stock setup.

Aspec, match painted grill, with those HIDS Wicked Nice. Thanks for this weeks new wallpaper.

Your progress in such a short amount of time is incredible. Clean Wicked. Savage. Now do something about the plastic piece on the liscence plate.

And more pics please more pics.

Haha, I am gunna take some with my aunt's D90 today. I really wish I could take off my front plate, but somebody stole my front plate the same day I was going to remove it, and they left a hole and a rip in the bumper, so I'd rather have the plate cover it. Also my parents got pulled over once for no front license plate, and got an unusually hefty ticket for not having it, so they made me keep one on.

Don't worry about it. I think you're clean even with liscense plate on front. I was meant to say you know the plastic strip in rear that is under the Acura sign and above the liscence plate, you need to color match that.

But since you mention it, in future get the motorized $400 liscence plate mod and fix that bumper but for now don't worry about it

You are in the running for top 3 AM ever if you keep going tPhe way your going.

That's what I said after Christmas. Then I dropped it, full A-Spec kit, ATLP Race Pipe, and my current project of 07-08 base tail lights being blacked out. Good luck

Most Def it's nice to see a TL with HIDS and not Angel Eyes. They work so well on TL.

These might just be the hottest AM pics I've seen yer. New wallpaper for 6 weeks! Woooot!

looking good. I'd say if you can drop it maybe 3/4" - 1" i think it would complete the look so much more.

Applying somewhere later this month though. 90% sure I'll get it, 100% sure that 85% of my money will be spent on my TL.
