KBP 2007 Type S Bennettm89 Starter/Progress thread

Just creating a thread to maintain tracking for mods on my recent purchase, 2007 KBP TL Type S:

KBP 2007 Type S Bennettm89 Starter/Progress thread-r9daecv.jpg


Plans:

Coilovers
18x8 or 18x9 wheels (still researching what fitment I can hit with offset on a 5AT)
Badge delete
35% all-around tint
Clear the amber out of the headlights (if I muster up the fortitude to attempt it)

I'm open to any suggestions or criticism. Having come from CRSX, I know search is my friend. Pic of the recently released:

Stay tuned.

Nice car and good luck with it! I am always envious of those who were lucky enough to find KBP.

Thanks guys. Steven, will do. Just ordered some front bumper blugs oem paint matched to get rid of the front plate. Next will be suspension (probably). Also, if anyone in the 757 area feels like they are capable of clearing the headlights and resealing...let me know because I am not comfortable enough to get that done, yet.

Had these left over from when I was going to replace them on the RSX. These will go with the wheels, once purchased:

Yeah while back ago now... I grabbed zkw-r lenses while was in there. It ain't so bad, just give yourself two days to be safe. I used blow dryer to open then some flow able silicone to help seal back up.

Man, it seems like we have similar tastes on a lot of things (referring to the badging in this case).

Sweet ride man! I used to own an 06 RSX Type S and I sold it and got an 07 KBP TL Type S. I want to do pretty much the same things you want to for your ride! I already debadged the ride as well as painted the chrome portions of the car black chrome! Good luck on your future mods!

Decent cost, decent reviews? That sounds like a question where you know something is wrong with them 0.0

Now my question is... what do YOU know about them CLtotheTL32? >.<
