so with the type s decklid the trunk doesn't lift up one slight bit... i removed the trunk lining (since I installed the cold cathode license plate tubes) and left it off. the trunk lifted up quite significantly:



powder coated engine manifold cover

everything looks great. The only thing I would do, is remove the TEIN sticker/logo on the side of your car

I do not agree keep the TEIn sticker/logo.

Here in Quebec we are not require to have a license plate in front only in the rear.

Where did you get the "ACURA" template on the front bumper? look very clean and classy.

Not a fan of the Tein stickers on the car, and of the license plate the way it is held on in the front. Other than that looks good. Should slam it.

I kinda like the Tein sticker. I know some people consider it cheesy, but I like how it is placed.

Listen guys, he needs the front plate on so he was a little creative and put it off to the side. It's nice to show the center decal. I think it looks better than the standard plate. I love how you changed the tails and the nose to make it look like an 07-08. Great job

Das lookin' really clean! It really is a shame about the license plate though. Show off that great white Acura emblem or cover up that sweet chrome lower grille piece. Maybe you need like a quick detach license plate holder... just put it on while rollin 'to school and then just pop that sucker off when not. But your whip is gleamin'!

Was thinking since you have the whole 07 tl-s theme going on. You should get the 07 side mirrors, and the 07 bumper and rear aspec for it.

don't worryyyyyyyyyy i got a plan for everything i put a deposit for the ATLP quad exhaust and someone already bought my current rear bumper with aspec.. going to pick up a type s rear with aspec this week and as soon as mike produces more ATLP quad catbacks, all will be installed in the rear.

07 mirrors will come later, dont see the need for those THAT much, i already have a bunch of leds going in the front.. switchback leds for turn signals, white led front sidemarkers, and lower grill HID fogs.
