Dude, your avatar pix is on my desktop eversince you put them up on the thread - dang it now i have to wait on what wheels you have to get, and wait for you to post them up!

People weren't kidding how you change your wheels quite often, huh? Oh well, i still give you mad props for what you've done with this car...it looks insane bro! One of the best NBP's in here...bar none!

Good luck with the wheel search!

Hey, I am a bit confused when you say painted grill black? I see the grill looking stock?? Can you explain where you painted it?? Sorry if I'm blind.. I dont have my car to compare.. getting fixed

Oh and also..are your headlight compartment painted grey or black??? looks a bit darker in there than stock..

thanks.

and great pictures / car. you've done a great job. I think I might get that rear spoiler thats on the roof.. looks good. I would like to do the quad tip setup aswell..too expensive, to spend about $1500 dollars is a bit much for something that won't give me money in return.. haha

Hey, thanks man. As for the grill, this is the part that is painted semigloss black. Stock, it's a kind of matte grey which always bothered me as my car is black. And my headlights, everything is was painted matte black and corners just cleared.

It's how much you pay attention to those small details that amazes me.
Painting the grille flat black to give that 'just a hint of darker' look, but yet changes the whole outlook of the car.

Amazing bro, just amazing. I envy you.

Haha thanks
Thanks for the diagram hahah. I think I'm going to try it out...

I've never done anything to my car on my own, besides changing a flat and pouring fluids..

as for the lights.. you painted the inside compartment correct not the outside plastic part? did you put it in the oven and stuff like the DIY says found somewhere in the forums?

Haha, well be careful with painting since that part is pretty well seen. Rough it up with sand paper a little bit before u paint. If you mess up just sand it down with a finer grit sandpaper and try again.

I've done my headlights like the DIY twice before but these are professionally done since I wanted a few new things

Ballinfizzle,

What year is your Acura? I have a NBP 04 and I'm considering putting on that rear lip on the back if it's feasible. Let me know what particular rear lip that is also.

Great car, but you already know that.

Thats a Type S rear lip. and if you decide to go that route, your going to need to cut up your stock bumper in a way. Do a search, people have done it. Oh and I almost forgot to mention. your going to need to get quads to fill in the exhaust outlet. if u leave your stock 04 mufflers its going to look weird because its smaller.

thanks UAwalker, I was able to find it in the search. It's too ghetto and extensive for my wallet and palate.
