I know, dunno why they are squeaking so bad. I just got them replaced less than 1k miles ago

Any suggestions?

I am using the original ones from V-LEDs that came with the harness. I don't use the harness (just use the bulbs), and I don't have the DRL light on.

However, I seem be one of the few (if not the only one) that doesn't get the DRL code by doing it this way. Not really sure why either, just glad it works

Few New Updates and Photos

Color matched brake calipers, stock paint was flaking off so figured it was time for something new.






Repainted engine covers.




My favorite shots from the 2011 National Acurazine meet.











Sunset shots with new 6k HID headlight bulbs.

I do still have them. I will be putting them back on in the winter (they got better tires for the snow on them).

Dude you change your wheels more than anyone I know!

Thanks man.
I catch a lot of crap on Azine for the wheels. I really like them, I think they go well with the aspec kit and the spokes are really unique. I have been playing around with the idea of powder coating them, just not sure yet.

Thanks

Not sure why you don't like the size. 18x8 is what you are rockin'

Love your car man, wish I would have gotten KBP. Do you have any pics with your fogs on? I wanted to see what they look like with the DRL's and switchbacks.

So, I have been pretty lazy about updating this so, I figured I would get around to it today.


Installed these sometime last year but here they are, SUPERCOMPUTER's Red LED Door Sills...




Cross Drilled/ Slotted Roters....




JnC Headlights (Color Matched)....

Nice updates. I like the Type-S wheels on your car a lot better than those aftermarket ones. What's next?

Thanks for the comments everyone.
Still more hate on my wheels Different strokes for different folks I guess, I have plans for a new setup prolly next season

TC, I guess no one likes to be out in the cold. Which is weird considering they live in the Mile High Hopefully warmer weather brings more meets

Got a new DSLR and wanted to play around with it; so, snapped a few shots this weekend:

Nice, looks like my RonJon Rev Graphite Wheels, but with custom color KBP lip.

I think I saw you yesterday afternoon at Buckley Rd and 6th Ave, was that you?

yea, love those wheels, i normally don't get to see the wheels when the car is moving, so whenever i drive by places with windows, i look at the car to see the wheels spinning. the other day when i was at Acura picking up my car, i had to wait for them to drive the car up, when i saw it, i was like damn, lol

nice job on making the Rev wheels unique, can't wait to see them in person

i could of swore it was you, cause it was a KBP Type S and had the same similar wheels as you. if it wasn't you, then you got a twin somewhere in A-town
