just a little update, got the xlr8 quad exhaust put on today, new rv6 v3 j pipe will be on friday at the latest. Here is a quick pic of the exhaust installed, god I love the look.
couldnt have done it without these crazy fuckers ....well I could have but it woulda been harder.
and just as a teaser got new tires in the mail today....new rims to come....give you a hint they might stretch just a little...

Havent updated this for a while, a lot has happened. I got the new rims mounted finally after about ten hours of work on the fenders and height and such. I need to get a front camber kit so I can go lower up front with some negative camber but the TL funds bank is about empty at the moment. I took off my old chipped lip spoiler and put a new one on its a slimmer version off ebay, I like it. I will be going to NJ this week sometime and swapping bumpers and grills with AcKtl05 and I'll have accord fog lights with yellow lamin-x overlays and 3000k hid's and cf grill. Thinking of wrapping my hood in cf while im there since it needs painted badly. Let me know what you guys think, I'm pretty happy with my progress being that its only april and I still have a good 5 months left in modding season.

well I made it back safe from the trip to jersey...although my right rear wheel didnt, somewhere in between philly and jersey I got about a 6" rash on it probably from a pothole or something because the roads were absolutely horrible. If I had to live and drive on those roads everyday I would kill someone. I got the 07-08 tails put on with the smoked diffuser and also swapped him bumpers and he put in my accord fogs with 3000k hid kit. I love it. In the coming weeks I plan to paint my calipers with g2 yellow and a carbon fiber brembo emblem on it, maybe redo my grill in plasti dip or redo the vinyl, and maybe a few other odds and ends.
for those of you wanting to put a face to the "headlight and tail light guy" AckTL05. ^^

well getting ready for the spring ohio/midwest meet....got a few things done this week. finally got my engine covers back from my buddy. He did a custom graffiti paint job on them freehand, I know not everybody's cup of tea but I wanted something that would stand out at shows and such, be a little different. feel free to flame on though, also redid my grill and took the CF wrap off and did plasti dip. plus put the acura logo silver vinyl on.

Your offset is pretty extreme, that has a lot to do with it.
The car looks amazing though, love those rims and the NBP the graffiti is whack but it stands out and would get a lot of attention.

thx for the input guys, I really was considering putting these wheels up for trade on the BM yesterday until I got back home and seen a few of the shots that people took of my car. I really dont know if I can now. Here is a few shots from the ohio meet yesterday.

small update, not sure how to put update added to the thread title if anyone can help me out. Had my buddy detail my car for me , paint looks a lot better but I still need it repainted sometime in the near future. He did a great job and if anyone is in the ohio area and wants a good and cheap detail he is eddie&t-ella on here (think thats how you spell it) Also used the g2 caliper kit and done my brembo's bright ass yellow with a black brembo decal. Turned out pretty good but after we started noticed that the paint had been in the warehouse too long and probably shouldnt have used it past it shelf life date. but overall turned out good, getting tons of compliments and makes the wheels stick out even more. heres a few pics
and the treat after all that hard work, beer can chicken mmmm
