There's a place that is local to me. I'm sure there are some custom shops in the DC area that do this as well.

Hey now, you're one of the ones leading the chorus of "teasers suck" (I know because I'm right there with you)...you can do better. It looks like they did a great job from what I can see, though.

Yep. I'm going to pant them flat black. I dunno if I'm going to keep the acura symbol chrome or paint it gloss black. Thoughts?

purple would be a cool idea. maybe dark metallic blue? the more i look at my paint, the more i can see somewhat of a bluish purple edge to it in certain light. Cool!

As I have mentioned in a few threads before - a safety cone orange will look nice with our AM TL's (rims or calipers). I like the purple though because it is different

Thanks mang! Sucks that I had to roll early.

I wanted to stop when I noticed the project mu's! There was wayyyy too much traffic for that. It was nice to see your car in person. It is a real head turner!
