Thx guys
I'm debating what to do next... I REALLY regret not getting the A-Spec side skirts before CBP went out of stock...I don't think it looks bad at all with just the front/back A-Spec though.
Guess the next project might be either getting another color A-Spec sides and painting them. I've also been thinking about vinyl wrapping the grille in CF vinyl, however i feel like wrapping only one or two parts of the car looks awkward - it'd have to be a more consistent trim around the vehicle (grille, trunk trim, trunk spoiler, etc. for me to pull it off i think) - otherwise it might look tacky?
Also considered getting an STI lip for the front, however examples of the one I liked actually requires two lips molded together to accommodate for the TL's wider body, and I don't have the skills (nor am I willing to shell out the money) for that. We'll see...

Nom-nom-nom!!!
^^ Ha-ha! But seriously, how did you current 3rd gen TL owners decide on your choice of color when shopping at the time. It would be hard to choose between KBP, CBP, WDP, ASM, NBP.....

LOL well said
Haha! I love Seaside/Monterey - I have some family friends down there so I'm over there every so often - beautiful area. I always eat fish and chips at Phil's Fish Market on the way back home haha.
When I got my car I wanted either CBP or KBP. I think WDP and ASM look great too, but I have friends who have WDP and ASM TSX's and I' didn't want to be a copycat

Did some back-tracking of my window visors that are coming in today and saw that they belonged to you at a point.
Pretty cool.
Kinda iffy about the fact that it's been passed down a few times making me the 4th owner.
Hope they look good when they arrive

A-Spec sides are a bit pricey to buy and paint right now - trying to save for a house so we'll see haha. Hopefully CBP will pop up on the BM one day...

Just received it, and here I am using Plast-X.
They're in pretty good condition.
I'm really thankful that there's no deep scratches or chipped corners.
Your car is looking great.

A couple broken tabs I have to epoxy also.
Any tips on the install?

Really?? I guess epoxy or something similar should do - the visors go on pretty snugly because of the tabs, but it's even more important to meticulously put on the double-sided tape. It's a pretty simple install - just make absolutely sure that the double-sided tape is completely flat, or else there will be a gap when you put it on (which would negate the entire purpose of the visors)
