I decided to revert back to the waffles. The tires on the Battles were trash, after reassessing it's not in the current budget to pick up some new ones. Picking up some spacers via Endless shortly to get rid of that awful sunken look.
I've got a few projects in mind and am tearing my headlights apart here in the next week to go a new route/color scheme. Stay tuned!
I've gotten the itch to make some changes to my headlights, so in the next week or so I'll take that new project on, changes are always welcome right?
I'm thinking about adding some smoked amber diffusers, passive demon eye and maybe red fog light buckets. I'm also going to be removing my halos until I find a better product to do them over again.
Picking up Type S exhaust this weekend for a great price $70. It will replace my current setup which is rear/mid delete w/ stock resonator. I'm leaning towards keeping the mid delete, going w/ rear mufflers and tips, and swapping out resonator for Dynomax.
Hopefully have my headlights done here shortly too. My wife had gallbladder surgery recently, so I've been taking care of her and the house.

As always, stay tuned!
JK w/ the exhaust. It got sold from under me late last night, oh well! Money for other mods now
Finally got the time to take my headlights apart yesterday. Was feeling edgy and wanting something different. Settled on gloss black housing w/ red projector shroud. I also took out my halos until I find a better solution. I'm thinking about a switchback LED strip in the future. Until then this will do. Car is filthy and is was dark by the time I was done. I'll wash her and post pictures of them installed in a couple days. The edge trim piece is missing from this photo haha, BUT I have it!
Great build! All of the rims you went all looked great. Headlights are sweet as well. Another true enthusiast. My wife was at the hospital for a few days and all I did was care for her and look at car parts. Hope your wife is feeling better.

Thank you! I'm a lowkey wheel whore I appreciate that man, they've undergone many changes over the last year. Oh no! Hope all is well w/ your wife as well man, mine is on the end thank goodness. Glad to have her back to herself again!
I have a problem haha.... But admission is the first step right? As car guys we're always looking to improve and be unique right? Well tonight I capitalized on a goal I've had for a while now. I regrettably sold my 18x8.5 Aspecs about 9 months ago. Since then I've been trying to find them again w/ ZERO LUCK. Until tonight, in the local Acura group I'm a part of, someone posted on our FB page asking what to do about refurbishing some Aspecs. I immediately commented and proposed a trade or sale. He gladly accepted my offer of Waffles for Aspecs. I paid him $20 to drive an hour to my work and make the swap. They're coincidentally the same wheels I sold some time ago. They definitely need some love and to be brought back to life, however it's a project I'm willing to undertake. Cheers to karma finally helping a brother out!! PS it was dark by the time we were done so a picture will have to wait. Until then fellas, have a great day! As always, stay tuned!
Finished these up on my day off yesterday. Very happy with the end result. They're not perfect, but are much better than what I started w/. Chipping black paint from previous owner Sanding Process Primer laid down Primer laid down Dark Charcoal Metallic Dark Charcoal Metallic Washed. Detailed and installed.
I've got a list of parts on my phone that I'll slowly be adding over the summer months.
So far I'm wanting:
Type S Tails
Possibly Depo Black Tails (had them before and LOVED them) They can get a bad rap but I've never had issues w/ them.
Clear Headlight Diffusers via Endless
Switchback LED Turn Signals via Endless
06-07 CS Type 2 STI Splitter
DIY Side Skirt Splitters
Lexus IS Rear Diffuser? (Had one before, but now I feel like it's too commonplace)
Aluminum Pedal Covers
Spacers via Endless
I'm sure there are a few other things that are escaping my memory right now but this will do for now haha
With my birthday coming up I bought the 06-07 STI CS Type 2 lip tonight for a front splitter. Excited to get it in hand and mounted up. Maybe I can cash in on some birthday money haha #carparts. I'll post pictures with the new splitter painted and installed in the next week or so once it's here. Thanks for stopping by!
Now that it's on, I'm going to put my side skirt splitters back on as well. I want to work on a rear diffuser as well. I've seen some S2K ones that can be modded a little to work.

Hey I still have those Smoked tails if you want them. I get back from San Antonio this Friday so If you want to meet up half way the weekend after next I'm down. The TL looks tight!! Keep up those progress pics
I've been a ghost on this thread for a while now enjoying the summer. Thought I'd stop by give some updates and post some pictures of new additions. Thanks for stopping by!
Custom Rear Diffuser, HIC Window Visors, Small Duckbill Trunk Spoiler
Inspire Fogs w/ 6K LED Bulbs Endless RPM Switchbacks
Quick Shoot with a buddy. Added rear bumper spats and side skirt splitters. I'm really happy w/ how the spats look!

I'll get some more pictures up this weekend. Few more parts have made their way to my house I've installed one and am upset I didn't do it forever ago! Got to love when you fall in love w/ your car all over again right?
What suspension are you on now? I remember you being slammed on the Type Ones but you said you sold them.
I appreciate it man! Hopefully picking up at the minimum front Aspec Lip before they go MIA haha.
I'm on Tein Street Advance Z's from Endless which I love. The Type One's were crazy low haha. I'm not nearly that low anymore. Just got 25mm spacers for all four corners and need to take some new pictures to show them off. I've also got some new taillights that will be here tomorrow. But it's my anniversary so they probably won't be getting installed until later in the week.

Before they vanish from the face of the earth, I'm going to piece out my WDP Lip Kit. Going to start w/ front lip, then rear and then finally skirts.
I have a buddy locally who can get a dealer price so $283 painted. Deals are always a good thing, so I'll take it.
I did just install Inspire Fogs, but I'm going to sell the fogs and grills to a local guy for what I paid for them. I've gone back and forth and back and forth regarding which lip to go w/. I 'think' I've decided to go w/ the 07-08 Type S front Lip. I would like to be different and go w/ the Aspec front but EVERY time I see a Type S I can't get over how aggressive it looks. So here we go!
Ordering tomorrow morning for pickup Wednesday. I'll be sure to post pictures once it's installed.
