Finally got the WDP looking like somthing.....

I still have to tint the tails and rear sidemarkers as well as paint the grill but I am liking the progress of my car. I still need to read my manual to brush up on the camera skills. Enjoy everyone!

You have really got to change where you host your pictures...

But from seeing the car in person, I can say it looks great

Looks really nice! I like the front end a lot! Any plans for the tails? I think a set of 07-08 base tails will look really nice on your car.

Looking good J! With the calipers being red, it really brings out the features of the caliper, and it makes them look even bigger.

Thanks guys for the nice comments. I really love the silky smooth manual that Honda puts out. Eric, we gotta meet up again soon at a mini meet or something. It seems to be that when you put the meet together, people actually show up.

Thanks guys. I have been getting some pm's about how I did the front calipers. Here is a thread I posted a while back on how it was done. Best mod on the car imo.....

Jeown, no meet at my house as I cancelled the last one. I am starting to get crazy with work now. We do need to meet up sometime in the near future.

No on the 19 inch rims as I already bent one 18 inch rim. The 19's are not a good riding rim so I bought the Konis and dropped the car onto the 18's to fill the gap. I think it's perfect, but thats a biased opinion......lol.....

Tint is a legal 35% all around. BlackDC2 (Kory) can tell you the tickets he has gotten around here with his 5%. The cops aren't fooling around these days.

Nice, but I do remember our last meet when the cop drove by really slow and parked near us. You thought he was waiting for you but he didn't bother. You know you are gonna get pulled again. Been there, done that. At least you have connections when it comes to inspections. It looks great but not worth the hassel. See you at Lowes.

You guys are killing me. When my rims FINALLY come in I'm going to drive around for days with the LARGEST smile on my face in Chlt.
And just a side note my next car will be white. No if, ands, or buts about it. White all around. It's just too sick. Certain cars look to pimp in white and the AC TL is one of them. I'm detailing and polishing my shit twice a week to keep the slammed NBP up with you guys!!! 3rd black car and its time for a change brothers!

Another Kettle One and Tonic with a squeeze of lime for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^That is correct...You have the same stance I had with the H&R sport springs. The front is higher than the rear You are half way there already. 650 bucks shipped and you will have a whole new riding and looking car. Especially with the 19's on your car. Are you thinking of going that route?


Trevor, are you getting the rims or what? I need to check it out after you get them on.

With over 70k on your odometer, just change them all around. It's your cash but I know you will save in the end by getting all 4 at the same time.


60lbs in the rear??? That must be one hell of a sub. I think I need to see and hear this thing.

There's always one dick who has to see the negative in everything. I see normal wear and tear on a three year old rims with 80k mies on it. I am not sure about you, but I bought my car to drive it, not stare at it. I guess theres at least one in the bunch. Bearcat is correct, I average 1200 miles in a five day work week. Lets see your car after 65k in 12 months.
