^^^ Indeed....swoosh and I were talking about this today. One question though....does the Carbon Fiber for the front logo fit to the back or is it flush with the actual logo itself? I ask because I've got an Amp'd Emblem logo on the front and don't want it to sit flush with the logo and mess up the Amp'd Emblem glow.
And can you buy just the front logo? I'm guessing it all comes as a front/back/logo set.

Wow...they look great...I couldn't get em cause I'm getting the awesome Domed Decalz insert for the bumper...AND the inserts I can guarantee will cover up the amp'd emblem glow.
BUT, that said...car looks great.
Hey Jay...was your front bumper repainted!?!? The orange peel seems intense on that insert picture...

^^^ yes by inserts i was referring to the Acura Emblem Inserts....and not the bumper inserts or the Acura "decals"....
and the only reason why I was praising them is coz Steven Bell told me he was looking into it but didnt know how it will fit....
Moving the fuck along.....

I'd like to add to that I don't KNOW for sure that it'll be a problem with the Amp'd emblem...if it was NOT a problem, I'd consider them myself. I just have a feeling that knowing how the amp'd emblems shine their light (which uses the reflection on the car's surface to be visible) would seem like they were blocked off with the inserts.
Again, I may be wrong.

Guys, thanks for the conversation about the Carbon Fiber inserts. Right now, I think I'm not going to do it. I would consider the front Carbon Fiber insets, if they do not fit flush to the grill logo. I already have the ACURA front bumper logo in Carbon Fiber. So I might pass on this mod.......can you believe it! LOL

Jeremy, I actually have one of the original style from Amp'd Emblem on the front. It is not bright-it just subtly illuminates. So if it's flush with the OEM logo, I'm out.

You must be guinea pig (in my best 'you are getting sleeeeepppyyyyy' voices).
I do too Steven.
Actually, I had normal ones front/back, then went extreme front but it stopped working so I went back to the original one. I love it, on a dark road, it's mild enough to just be able to tell the "a" is lit.

If it fits all the way back in the logo housing, I'd do it. If it fits flush, maybe it could be trimmed down a little.

Just sucks how that thing just give out w/no warnings at all and leaves you were you are...
Also, GOOD NEWS! My replacement oil tube came in for my coil over issue. I just need to remove the bad one that clunks and install all the hardware on the new tube and send my bad one back to F2 So I am happy about that at least
Looks like I have my hands full. I just wish this back pain can get better. Long story, by admitted myself to ER last Tues for a badly pulled back I was living with for 6days in pain...extreme pain. Any ways, gave me a 2 series shot in the ass and sent me on my way with some Anaprox and Flexeril... My back has been feeling great of lately, until last night for some reason. I went to roll over and BOOM! My back pulled and feels like day one again pinching on my sciatica nerve. I don't wish this shit on my enemies fellas. But, hope to get right and get to work on the TL.

Dang Jay...sorry to hear that, man.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH PAIN MEDS.
Also, I know this will seem obvious...but what bed do you have? Have you started sleeping on your side and throwing your leg really far over? I ask this because I sometimes do and I knock my back out BAD, to where I can barely get out of bed in the morning. Stretches help...and I started doing a bunch of core exercises too and that helped. And no more lower back with heavy weight...
Hope you figure it out!

About the meds, yeah No shit! I hate taking even a simple head ache pill or cough syrup. I am one that just waits till it gets better on its own. With these meds I can't take em as scheduled or recommended by the Dr since I am at wk starting at 3am. So I end up only taking them as needed after 12pm, IF that! Flex. I am suppose to take every 6hrs... I might take that 1x every other day since its been subscribed to me.
But man!... I tell u something and I know u can agree... This has to be the closest pain related to women being prego... This and passing a kidney stone are to 2 worst pains ever I have experienced to date.

Well, I'm very sorry to hear that Jay.
I know what you mean sorta...I've never been a baseball dude, right...well, we had a softball tournament for the United Way at work...I thought, how hard can it be...bah...didn't stretch out enough...went and pinched...when i tell you that in one movement I had a debilitating pinch and pain that made me feel like i couldn't walk for a month. I felt like I was paralyzed.
Lasted a long time too...after that, I started doing my consistent core exercises...since then it's gotten better, but I still have days where I sleep on my side and twist and end up HURTING bad.
Also, I know what you mean, weird feeling the front groin leg joint area...sometimes, in the morning I have to squat down and kinda do this frog movement and I'll hear a CLICK and it'll all be ok after that.
I hope you get better, man!

Against what I know is best and have been told...I been a bad boy I have been busy like a bee today getting things done. Fix my car, installed my new starter...What a pain in the ass! That top 17mm bolt would break for crap! Then finally i whipped out the HUSKY breaker bar with 17mm socket and got it out. This was of course after breaking 1 rachet and one socket. The socket split on both side wide open. (Cheap tools...) And of course the entire job requires be to do what??? BENDING OVER. But for some reason my back felt awesome today. Plus, I picked up my prescrition of PredniSONE 6 day series. So if there is pain coming form todays work, it will be stopped in its tracks tonight. Beside that, I also changed out my rear driver coil over covered under warranty. Car rides like a dream now! Quiet and smooth like butter! VERY happy about that.
Well, that is it. More to come later

OK, bringing a "Blast from the Past!" ... IB PROJEK is on its way. All I did was remove the seats and try to size up the IB panel, then realized I really needed to remove EVERYTHING! Including the trunk carpet I assumed I would be able to do this front front access alone also trying to see if I can keep those carpet triangle shaped angels in the trunk wall rather then cutting them. Making a attempt to keep a stock look and less dressing to the panel itself since the triangle shapes would cover alot of the panel. But looks like that will not work and complete removal of all the trunk carpet in needed to proper fit the panel.
So, now that I learned my first leasson, I will be going to Lowes to purchase another MDF board since it seems I may have cut a few inches across since the carpet in the trunk gave me a false facia of what I needed in space and what needed to be removed before this actual panel fitting...Hey, I am learning But DOING WERK SON! Double werk! lol

I am now on PredniSTONE steroids plus my already prescribed Flexeril...Back is doing much better. Obviously I am finally able to get to wk and move around better. I feel right about a 90% recovered but not out of the clear just yet. Like working on my car and any general movement, I am always looking for the best way possible to move or find leverage holding on to something. I am taking it slowly and gingerly but definitely feeling better. Thanks!

another 3/4 MDF 2X4 bought yesterday Back to the drawing board. This time I will be doing my measurements and fitting from the trunk side rather from the interior as I was told on my audio thread. But first, remove all the remaining int. pcs to get the most accurate measurement and tight fit for the IB Panel itself. When that is fitted and cut out, wiring and deadening will come next.
In my head it looks so much easier...lol
