Good stuff OP! Just got my WDP 08 TL -S and looking to do a lot of the same mods! Glad to see they look DAMN good on a WDP. (looking specifically at the plasti-dip front and rear + LED DRLs. I can't say I'm a fan of the RED DRL's and they'd probably be illegal here in California anyway... I'm going with white.

Nice progress I thought you were suppose to do these mods next summer

It looks good already.

Thanks, yeah that's what I thought till I found some $ now I have most of my goals for summer done early. And I have a really good friend who's mechanic savy so no need waiting and letting it all sit around ,not on haha

White Nasty is getting aligned turns out need camber for rear so she's in the shop till this afternoon boys at SEARS helping me out. It'll be straight as an arrow and nice nice too.

I'll take A-Spec kit, new rotors and pads and lower springs, OEM visors, and AEM V2 intake. Hopefully it will hold me off till summer ha

Update (1-17-14)

New year and new suspension ISC N1 Coilovers Street/Sport Spring
-Picked these up through BM from michaelw21 in Colorado, great guy and great purchase. Not looking to go any lower fronts are maxed out and rear I adjust the height to match the natural slant of the car but not to much so it's still low.
Right now I'm 6 inches to ground


The ride feels good no complaints there, you have to realize when you get Sport Springs it's going to feel stiffer than stock. I like how it doesn't give to much on bumps but still feels great down the highway. I do avoid potholes more and rough lines in the road on my daily driving routes cause those don't feel good in any suspension. Highway is smooth


Rear fenders haven't been rolled yet, going to do that over the summer. Also those are Michelin Pilot AS3 tires on the rear, love how they handle they've only been on for a week.


Going to re-tint this summer 20% and 5% glare strip.
A-Spec kit color still looks off but is changing ever slightly so hopefully with match whole car from the sun exposure and time. Before I get back to KC again for the Meet Up.

well done mah man....


I have been pushing Matt to get the ISC coilovers

Put this on to see how it would look I really it, also reflective.

Look sweeeeeet!

the Type S front end looks very aggressive...

Thumbs up

your car looks dirty, any plans on a new set of rims or are you gunna keep that stock look?

Nice update!!

I want to get rims later for summer and winter set with stock rims. Have so save up cause that's my next big purchase. Thanks guys, working on little things at a time. Savin up for summer now. Suspension was biggest mod for a while anyway.

I also like the red ACURA logo on the nose.

So on January 31st a young diver pulled out in front of me I avoided what I could saving the car from further damage and saving both of us from further damage . This was the result, the car went into the repair shop, the bill being paid by his insurance. The car went in to the shop on January 3rd the car did not get done until February 18th due to shops parts guy who is out of state not being knowledgable what parts came on the A-spec lip kit and not in the hardware kit for the lip. The shop did their part and car was always ready for next step when the part arrived. Shane at the shop said he gets accident don't in 3-4 days but due to his parts vender to 3 weeks and 1 day to get my car done.

Total cost of the bill for his insurance was $6,600 dollars glad I didn't have to pay that. All is well now ordered strut tower bar to adjust coilovers easily and going to have that power coated when it arrives at a shop here in town. Plasti-dip will happen when it's nice out and I have a free weekend. DRL's need to get working shop didn't have a clue so they buttoned it up which is an easy fix. Thanks for all support from accident, been quiet till now cause car was gone so long.

Can't even tell it was in an accident and probably feels good having a freshly painted kit and bumper. Looks good again!

back to looking good

looks great!

Looks good-now you need to replace the red ACURA!

Looks good man! We're close to twinsies. Well except for your plasti-dip, window visors, exhaust/intake, rotors, etc., etc. Okay...so we're both WDP with ISC coils.

You said your fronts are maxed out, but it doesn't seem much lower than my ISC N1 setup I have right now. What's your ground-to-fender dimension?

In the front I'm maxed out the rear i might go a tad lower when it gets warmer it's just when you go to low in the back it looks like you have a fat man sitting in the back and throws off the overall line of the car keeping the line of the car point down somewhat.

Yeah should be getting a new one this week, beyondprinting said weather may cause delays on that since he is in NY.

At least you can still get it!

Why can't you? Silvr my dimension are 24 1/2 in. for the front, rear is 25 1/2 in.

What are your opinions on a red plasti dipped emblem in the front. Would that look ok with a black emblem in the back that I have already or stay with current chrome emblem.

All done




Took all day but worth it what do you think?
Also decal coming red or black Acura decal?

I would do black decal and maybe keep the emblem chrome

Yeah idk swoosh I'll sleep on it.

Looks nice. I wonder how it would look if the large horizontal piece adjacent to the fog light would look in red as well...

I thought about that too. Or just a simple pinstripe next to the fog light where there is the horizontal endentation not too much red just enough. Goes with the type s red.

Well executed.....a little burst of color is a good thing.

Finally got the decal in definitely helps with the color balance up front.
I also this weekend washed, sealed and waxed my car with Chemical Guys, shampoo, JetSeal, and 50/50 paste wax and made the car shine really nice. Of course, I did this all to get ready for the Meet-Up in KC and I'm reallly happy with the results. I'm also happy with these results too, I went to a local North High School Car show and did this.

Not bad for a car show of about 10 to 15 cars, with classics worthy company to be in.
Additional photos of the cars that were there that mattered.

Dude, I like the red ACURA! I told ya'-a little bit of color does a LOT.

Thanks Steven

Maybe something like this too........

How'd you do that?

I agree, I am digging that red upfront as well

It's 1/4 " automotive pinstripping. If you want, come over and I'll put it on for you. It takes a little maneuvering to get it to curve.

I'm alittle busy this weekend and next, how about when I come up for the meet I drop by your place before all the events that evening. Or you PM me and figure out when you're free. I'd be interest in pinstriping the line next to the fogs too while I'm up there I see what it looks like.

We can do that! I think I even still have the 1/4 inch pinstripping too. Just let me know.
