Thanks bro! I got wheels off an x azine member. Wish I could tell you the exact offset but it isn't marked on the wheels. I'm guessing between +35 and +38 by how they sit on the car. The front has no room between tire and fender at all. Flush as can be without a roll. I tried to put 7mm spacers in the rear but def would need a roll an pull. I'm gonna get some 3mm for the rear and it will match the front nicely. I'm just guessing on offsets could be +30 for all I know, I'll take some pics of how it sits and hopefully someone with offset experience will chime in.

I don't think I'll ever put a roof spoiler on my car but it looks good on yours! Moar pics
Yea they are alright...I like my aspecs better to tell you the truth. Figured I'd change it up for a bit though. Keep it fresh you know! I'm digger that powder coat color you picked, pretty exclusive! Roof spoiler would look dope on your ride!

So I went from getting the rims with a red time attack line, going to a white line, Anddddd least but not last I made them all black now. I felt as though with a line around the rims it was making them look smaller than they actually are.

Let me know what you guys think of the all black look instead of striped??









Ill probably just stay with the all black look...Some opinions would be nice though?

LoL Thanks bro! 19"s will look pretty sick! In for pics when you get them!

I like 18"s due to the fact you can run a 40 tire and there is a lil less worry about bending a rim. I wouldn't mind the look of some 19"s though thats for sure !

car looks dope. Does NJ not require you to have a front license plate? Maybe its just for picture purposes but i didnt see one. I hate the fact that the plate holder covers the acura. Also, im getting my A-spec kit soon and i definitely dont want the plate there. Could you PM me about the Ht-Spec. I was also in the same boat as you, i dont want to kill the stock feel. I just want to lower it a bit for the spacing. But keep up the good work!

NJ requires a front plate...but I don't give a F$&K!! And no front tinted windows either, I also couldn't care less about about that dumbass laws. Now that they only check emissions for inspection in NJ it's great! I think next Friday I'm getting my windshield tinted.

Car is looking very nice. Do you have the independent fog mod? If you do any pics with DRL+Fogs on? And how do you change the DRL in the 07-08 cars. The garage has no help.

Nah I don't have the independent fog mod...Never wanted to hack up any wiring. As far as changing the DRL bulbs you should have no problems. Simple as changing the bulb like any other bulb, twist and pull....The space is really tight to get your hand in, probably have a cut or 2 after your done, but its very do able.

Very nice. My next mod I think is the DRL+Independent Fogs. Was hoping if you could snap some pics or upload some pics of the DRL in action? Would love to see them . What brand do you have? Nokya?

Hey man Welcome. Best color choice!! Roof is 3m vinyl. You can get it from the internet or I believe one of the Vendors on here carries roof vinyl.

I plan on getting it painted black though. I want that shiny as glass look.

Oh JOIN THE UA7 SQUAD...THread is in 3rd gen
