Well Boys and Girls the time has finally come. when i first got my car i loved everything about it but, eventualy i started to regret getting Anthracite Metalic mainly because deep down inside i always wanted a WDP
. But anyway long story short i got several quotes on a paint job and narrowed it down to a shop that had done work on one of my cars in the past. Along with that i started to piece the parts that i needed to do the Type-S front and rear conversion and this is what i came up with.
Type-S front Grille, Side mirrors, decided to put a 07-08 base front bumper with an 04-06 front A- Spec lip, A-Spec side skirts, Type-S rear bumper with Type-S rear A-Spec lip, Tail lights with Side markers,
Thigs that i need are the front fog lights, ATLP quad exhaust (keeping on eye out in the black market)
ATLP v2 j pipe, race pipe.
After waiting severaly weeks i finally got my car yesterday and here are some pics from the beguining. Enjoy and sorry for some of the quality of the pics. it was raining
. Tell me what you think.
(oh yeah dont mind the masking tape on some of the pics lol i thought my fog light grills would fall off so i just put alittle masking tape by them lol).

wow talk about transformation! looks good dude once you get those missing parts fogs, quads. it will look dope. if you were gonna do the 04-06 front lip why didnt you keep the bumper you had? and just throw some fogs on that?
anyways looks good, i like both colors, i've owned both. but white is right!

Wow that's quite a transformation! I guess you have the only only WDP/Camel TL! unless WDP comes with Camel interior? Looks like the guy at the body shop did a good job. Never seen 04-06 A-Spec on a 07+ bumper but props for that nonetheless youre rims kinda look like chrome 04 A-Specs.

Impressive work...but, not to sound like a smart-a**, but wouldn't it have been cheaper to just sell your AM and buy a used WDP?

I wanted to after i saw your post on how good your conversion came out but, then i just decided to stay on stock Acura Colors.
On another note i see we live fairly close to each other we should link up one day and do a photo shoot.
