Finally got new shoes

Here they finally are. I wish they were better pics, but my camera broke and I had to use my moms. I also cleared out the headlights while I was waiting on the new shoes to arrive.

The Tork Imagine 19" by 9" have a +40 offset, the 19" by 8" have a 35 offset. I know with these that i have on right now with the +40 offset i have less than 1mm clearance on the base brakes. I know if you have brembos they will not fit without a spacer. I got them down to about $1800 from $2000 for everything. I will be dropping it sometime in the next 2 months.

All thatis for its to tie in the chrome strip in the headlights and the polished lip on the wheels. IMO it is not overdone. It is just the right amount to tie in every thing.

The item on the lip pic is my license which is 4" long. I guess you would have to see it in person. I will try to get a better pic later.

you can get them from any acura dealership,but i recomend going to hondacraworld.com that is where i got mine. In order to replace the lights you will haveto remove your rear bumper.

Lookin' nice Robert!! Don't take the criticism to heart too much. Everyone likes different things so someone will always find something they don't like about YOUR car. Bottom line, it is YOUR car, so do what you like to it.

It was actually a lot easier than it looks. Total time working on them was about 1 1/2 hours, took longer du to me being sidetracked.

I love everything about it except for the chrome grill inserts and the tail lights. Nice choice on the wheels tho!

Wow I was suprised to see all the comments about the lower grill inserts.

I have them too and I always get compliments on them, oh well everyone likes something different.

Nice ride though!

To each their own. Some people like them, some people dont. You will never please everyone. Since the pics, i took the ACURA and the TL off the back. I am going to remove the pin-stripe next, trying to figure out how without messing up the paint.

Hey Jokerman, nice selection on the rims. i had those as my first set of rims on my car, but since i have upgraded to legends. They look really nice on your WDP. My car is 6MT so i had to put a small spacer on the front to clear the brembos. i need to get these on the black market , i still have them in my garage and they are taking up space.
