This is what i have been doing for the past 2 weeks... (here is a link to my original post when i put in the tein SS's, EDFC, and Greddy strut bar https://acurazine.com/forums/religion-politics-18/american-lawyers-fingerprints-found-madrid-bomb-case-ap-reports-139998/) My body kit finally came along with the deck lid (very scary drilling holes in my trunk lid) ... Tim did a great job sending them to me and the boxes came in perfect condition. I got a little concerned after hearing some of the problems people have been having since they have been shipped by DHL. The body kit was very easy to install.. i didn't need to add any double sided tape like others have.... i got my kit during the last group buy, maybe they made some modifications to make it fit better.. This weekend that just a past i put on the rims 19's of course.... Here are some of the pics... let me know what you guys think... After i took the pics i went home and painted the rear calipers and rotors bc there was so much rust and everyone noticed how horrible it made the rims look.... the only thing i have left to do it clear the headlights.....

Looks great...Love the wheels

subinf

Really like those wheels. Good choice

Kracker

Acuras are cool and everything, but I would take the red car next to yours.

But I like the look of your car too... But the red one is nice.

Theres a ferrari F40 next to you!

Nice wheels

drdamian

Do you mean that red 1990 Ferrari F40 with a little over 2K miles....... rides a little bumpy and theres no radio..... but at least its fast and got cold A/C.....
but thanks for the posts about the rims... they are Torks 19x8 35mm offset but i had to put a 3mm spacer on the front to clear the brembos... i put 235/35-19 Kuhma Ecstas... Its a really good tire.... very quiet ride and they grip really nice.... I hit a couple of nice turns at the car handled nicely.... I would have definetly crashed if they were the stock michelains...

FiveLiterCheater

So you like those tires huh? I'm thinking about getting them w/ my wheels but i've been hearing mixed opinions. I'll never go to a track event...just normal driving/speeding lol

ding069

i think i have actually driven in that F40. a friend used to own one with low miles like that up here in RI, i wonder if it made its way down to PA?

props on your car, i love those rims!

That really looks clean. Nice wheels as well.

Pratana-Areepitak

wow that is a really cool bodykit!

Kikaida

Nice TL!

Is the second pic the hole they drilled for the spoiler?

Wow, the F40 has automatic seat belts? Who woulda thunk?

I guess it must have been built right around the time that they passed the law requiring either automatic seatbelts or airbags (which were big and heavy at the time).

Look at all the green epoxy tying the carbon fiber pieces together! And look how long the shifter is!

What was the F40 in for?

johnAboy

great looking rims!

drdamian

thats exactly the way i feel... I don't want to go track racing and beat my car up... i just want nice tires to whip around the city and occasionally get a little silly when im on twisty roads...

drdamian

im not sure how long he has owned the car... My friend works at a jag/saab dealership... the F40 is the owners car... He hardly ever drives it and when he does its only to get the flat spots out of the tire... It was just in for basic service.. change the clutch fluid, bleed the brakes.... it does have electric seatbelts.. but no airbags.. the steering wheel is really big also, kinda like a truck..... the carbon fiber looks really different.. not the nice black carbon fiber im used to... also, the headliner is falling down... it literally takes 2 people to lift the back part up to expose the engine... its still a kool car and its really really fast.... the enzo of its day...

drdamian

yes , we had to drill 2 small holes for the spoler... the OEM spoler has 2 studs protruding from the bottom, along with double sided adhesive... it was very easy to install, just a little scaring drilling holes...

KJW73

Hey Doc - LOVE YOUR RIDE! And the wheels; everything seems to go well together (e.g. tint, wheels, color of car, etc.). Very nice!!

cM3go

I like the wheels!

acuraz88

That Ferrari interior looks horrible... I know that its from the 90's but still all of that
money.. you would think they could do a little better.

FiveLiterCheater

Yeah, my 91 Acura Legend is pure bliss compared to that interior LOL

K-Shawn

Love the wheels......it compliments the A-spec kit.

drdamian

thank you very much... from the moment i first laid eyes on the car i knew what i wanted and how i wanted it to look.... I really wanted to get a pair of Volks but i couldn't justify spending all that money as i am starting up a new practice..

drdamian

thats exactly what i said when i saw it... the carpet on the dash seemed to be the same carpet that i used on my home speaker box for my car when i was 16....

realfresh

ummmm, that car wasn't intended to have a nice interior, i'm pretty sure that the people who bought them weren't too worried about that

drdamian

the interior was falling apart

yohan81718

true... but you spend like 200k on that car... simple logic makes me think that some extra $$$ would give a better interior.. unless Ferrari has some other reason behind it... like it's safety issue.. hahahahaha no way...
anyways.. nice car

from the looks of it, seems like no airbag for driver... GG

drdamian

no airbag for the passenger either... behind that panel with the 4 screws are the fuses....

gcjin2007

that car was designed like that. the engineers wanted to make the car as light as possible, and thats why the car is as good as it is. dont diss the f40, its a good car and the interior was done like that on purpose
