Got my car back in Oct 10' with 77k on the clock. Joined here shortly after and thats when my addiction got started.

Day i brought the Car home





First part ordered were Blue led's




Next came Type S tails and side markers and oem sunroof visor






Got bored with the front end so i used some Transparent Film and cut out the acura letters in the film and painted them black.




Wife's TSX and my TL



Few months later i decided to hit my stockies up in a gunmetal finish. Took about 5-6 hours for all 4 and this is how they turned out.






Debadged the rear came next. Used good ole fishing line and goo gone. Also, removed the sunroof visor as i liked the flow of the car better without it.




Found a silver High temp paint that was close the color of my car so i did the engine covers




Car pretty much stayed the same for a while as i was busy closing on my First house.



Once in the house i picked up where i left off. Accord fogs were next on my list and i couldnt have done it without GP's DIY thread.









This is were i fell in love with plasti Dip. Center grille and random interior pieces were up next.







Mother inlaw decided to back into my bumper with her trailer hitch so i was left with 2 options. Get another 04-06 bumper and do all the cutting again for the accord fogs or swap it all out for the 07-08 Base front. I think i made the right choice. So in rolled all the parts.








And the final product after i received my Depo fogs. Also installed 6k HID's in the fogs





Got this from a buddy for cheap so i installed it and threw on an extra acura decal I had.



Last mods in a group have been. Oem Visors, a set of 18x8 Aspec rims, 35% Tint, Type S trunk spoiler, Painted rear emblem and 20mm Rear spacers










After Tint and i redid the wheels in plasti Dip and used glossifier.






Big thanks for the pics from the meet, Cant wait for another





Many Thanks go out to everyone thats givin me pointers and ideas over the past year and a half. I have an appointment tuesday to get my roof done in a gloss black vinyl so ill add pics once thats done.

 

bout time you made a progression thread, seems like you have a new thread every two days in the photo section haha. good progress though, car looks great

 

Thanks, a few people have been hounding me to make one. Tuesday the car gets the black roof finally

 

Nice! You should clear your headlights! Car is looking great!

What are the plans for the spring/summer?

 

Keep it simple

Aspec kit, headlights and a drop

 

Nice work Dan. Keep this going!

 

You just keep doing more and more to your car eh? =P

Nice progress.

Needs A-Spec and blacked out headlights is all I'm gonna say again.

 

Nice seeing the progress

Congrats on the house too, even though Im a bit late.

 

Thanks, freaking short sale so it took damn 5 months from offer till close. Was worth it though

 

Congrats on the house....5 months, jeez I thought my closing (short sale ) took forever and it was three months.

 

Yea we put our offer in on February 21st and closed July 14th. Never again will I go thru that process.

 

Nice progress so far, car looks good

 

Oh so you're just going to steal my pictures like that huh? That's cool of you.

Haha just kidding dude. It was nice meeting you and checking out your car in person. I'll check and see if I have more pictures of your car that I can edit and upload here for you.

In for pics of black roof

 

It's Tuesday sir, where are pics of said vinyl roof?

 

Haha well, ended up working later than I planned yesterday and missed the appointment to get te vinyl. So, last night I plasti dipped the roof again and this morning hit it with black. Tonight comes another coat of black and then a few coats of clear to bring that shine out

 

Yeah please shine that up please.

I think you have a addiction with plasti-dip.

 

 

The black roof/wheels combo looks great.

 

Need moar gloss

 

I'm getting moar

Btw: I blacked out the 2 silver accent pieces on my lower grills. Now it matches my old 04-06 style better

 

I like that grill, looks like the (A) is just floating in there

 

WOW you love the plastidip... lol I like what you did with the front end tho :wink:

interested how the gloss will look on the roof... will it still be easy to pill off after adding gloss?

 

Car is coming along great , I want to see the finish roof since I might considering going this route depending on your outcome

 

Found another picture from the meet. The direct sunlight killed my pictures.

 

Get some pictures after you goss the roof please. I was planning on doing this but looked at some pictures and noticed how uneven the roof gets when you spray it. You have random streaks in the middle, etc.

Hopefully yours will turn out good! Can't wait to see.

 

Looks real good. Need to drop it and ASPEC kit than it would look so good.

 

yea, even painting it on top of the plasti dip didnt look right so once again, peeled it off. just going to do the vinyl and be done with it, so ill post up pics when that gets done.

Here are the last 2 photos i took after adding 3 more coats of black, before i took it all off again.

 

Yea, looks blotchy. Might as well just get the vinyl.

 

can't quite tell, but did you paint the trim here black or replace it with CF ?

 

Its plastidip

 

 

Looks good, I think you took the plastidip business to a new level now..lol

 

Ill have to add a shot or two of my painted calipers now

 

Sweet update

 

Hey tyler, im getting something done this weekend

youll see shortly

 

 

looks good, nice job

 

Finally ditched the factory exhaust. Got the tips from a member here that runs socal-autosports.com

 

Nice updates!

Car is coming along nicely.

 

Nice! Glad to see those look and fit nice!
