My Progress Thread- Modded by AckTL05
So staying stock until 2015 didnt work out too well. After I got back my taxes I decided it was time to do some slight modding. So far this is what is installed on the car:

A-SPEC Kit
Carbon Fiber wrapped grille
Blacked out headlights with DRL projector mod with carbon fiber insert
iJDMToy LED DRLs
6K HID fogs
Carbon Fiber console cover
Carbon Fiber rear console cover
Full interior LED lighting
LED license plate lights

This is the only before pic I have one week after I bought the car. (sorry I dont even own a point and shoot let alone a DSLR)

After getting the front base a-spec lip on my car, I feel like it's hardly noticeable. Wishing I went type-s aspec. How do you feel about yours?
I like the cf armrest you have. Any idea for tails?

I actually like my A-Spec front it doesnt look too overpowering, now a Type S rear however I think would of been a better bet. For my tails I'm sticking with base I actually like the red and clear combo on my car. I may do color match accents but still on the fence about that.

Looking good man! I really like what you have done with the arm rest too, A-Spec kit looks great. I really like the 07/08 base tails they are probably my favorite, especially on a WDP.

Did you open up the headlights while doing the a-spec to add the cf inserts? o_o

And, I like the arm rest---but can't imagine it being that comfortable to rest on it.
Overall the car's looking good

I never noticed the original stock headlights had the enclosure. I always assumed it was just a standard reflect back piece and and bulb.

Nice progress!! I like CF arm rest cover. I almost bought it a month ago, but i wasn't sure how it looks after install. I might pull the trigger. Can you post more pics from different angle? Especially from front. That'd be appreciate!
