Thanks, my excuse is that I always use autofocus cameras, lol. I got my Acura emblem plate, and plate frames from the dealership, behind the parts counter.

Pics of my puddle lights...

A small update...So here are 3 shots of my Type-s with puddle lights. ua6spec's ride and pics gave me the inspiration. I do apologize for the grainy pics, I suck at photography, and the lighting didn't help.





Someone, please volunteer to do my photoshoots!

Hey ballin,

Thanks for the compliment! Yes, I actually like the puddle lights very much. They're not too ricey, but they make the car stand out. From what I can gather, the install really isn't too difficult at all. Of course I had a professional do it, and it took him 2.5 hours. All he did was wire the puddle lights to the car's dome lights. He charged me $100 labor for the job. Let me know if there is anything more specific I can help you with!

Appreciate it!

They're not ricey at all, well unless they were like neon green or something but I love em! 100 for labor is good deal How much in parts was it? Really considering doing these sometime later in the spring

MSRP for the puddle lights is $149.95 (SL210WH). I paid a total of $250 out the door.

Hey Priv,

Nice front plate However, what I meant by that post was that I had never seen anybody with an "Acura" emblem front plate.

what company makes these lights?? ive never seen them anywhere but on ua6spec's car.. i dont like them too much (but i dont hate them)

i think they would look real nice and clean if you matched them to your rear liscene plate LEDs and interior LED's.. if they all have the same color/tint/hue it would probably look bad ass when you open your door

I hear ya...changing out the stock light bulbs to aftermarket LED's has been on my mind for a while...but I just have to get around to doing it. The company that makes the puddle light's website is this: www.varad.com.

Couple update pics, enjoy!:

Custom NBP colormatched Engine Bay Shrouds (pics taken at night, so they're not as clear as they could be during the day):



P2R TB Spacer (Thanks to my boy Teddy [kamuiangl]):



Got my interior bulbs changed out to white led's, but I didn't take any pics of that. But this is where I'm at so far. I'll keep you all posted as the progression continues...

I love the look of the NBP engine cover, especially with the chrome acura badge.

as for the next mod, how about a colour-matched grille? JJaber06 did that and it looks amazing.

I waited 9 weeks to get my wheels. Yeah...it seemed like a VERY long time! But, those are the wheels I wanted, and I just told myself that they would come soon enough. The Thanksgiving/Christmas season actually kind of helped me forget for a while, as I was so busy. I did end up doing the iForged adapters for the TPMS. The setup looks exactly the same as terry919's does/did. Yes, they are expensive, but it's worth it for me!

As I said before, I will take some pics of the new shoes. Hopefully within the next week.

Here It Is!! 'Dem Works for ya!

Here's some shots of my new shoes close up:






Caliper clearance was a NON-issue. This is with a +40 offset. I would have cleared the Brembos with a +45-47 offset easy:




Some full-view shots:









My stock tips...they're polished up!:



Here's the front. Anyone notice a difference?:



And finally, a couple shots of my NBP colormatched engine bay:




Alright fellas...let me know what you think! I am absolutely UNofficially done modding . If you all can think of anything else there is to be done, chime in also!

Thanks,

Scott

Hey vigilante, thanks for the compliments! But, just to clear things up, I have the stock Type-S exhaust, with the Stage 3 mod done to it.

Keep the comments coming!
