So after getting my car proffesionally clean, wax, clay bar and buff I decided to do a photoshoot with my friend and his RSX right after work.
It was a nice day yesterday in the Nothern VA area
There is plenty of Cali love here.


First a Nice view of both cars next to the Potomac River



Here is 2 different views one photoshop one color.

Let me give you some front view.




Now lets see what is under the hood.
For the powder coating lover they wont be desapointed.




Here are some side view







Now time for the rear view
and if you wonder what kind of exhaust I have is a custom Magnoflow.



Now both cars rearview



And for the folks that want to see more of my friend RSX here you go





Thank you for looking at my car and my friend RSX.
Plenty of Acura love here.

Melvin why'd you change your wheels?

TiggaMan909

are your wheels painted or is that the camera affect? Looks really nice!

Glad you guys like the pictures.
The reason why I change wheels is because this winter was terrible on the roads of VA and we have lots of potholes.
Here is a link to my friends RSX and his build:

The wheels are painted gun-metal with a flotting touch of Chrome Acura "A" and black lug nuts.
I dont think no one in the site has done this to their wheels but I might be wrong.

Wheels look amazing. I plan on doing that this spring. What steps did you take to paint them?

melvin2816

iTrader: (4)

Sorry forgot to mention that there is a MDX intake manifold spacer in that engine bay. That is what makes the intake manifold to sit a little higher. Personally think it makes the engine look little mean. The spacer was cut down so I don't need the hood spacers or washer it sits flush.

Looks good

looking good! do you still get the same torque effect after cutting down the MDX spacer?

melvin2816

iTrader: (4)

You do get Torque gain with the MDX spacer but I dont know how much you get with out being cut. It also makes the VTEC to hit harder at woot
NVA-AV6 he did the powder coating and the ordering the parts of the MDX spacer and cutting it down. He also ported the inside of the intake manifold, incase i want to put a different throttle body
