Phambam progression

So I've always wanted to make a progression thread but i've always been lazy until today.

future mods when i have a steady income:
-AEM CAI
-white sidemarkers
-HIDs 8000k/6000k
-switch DRLS
-Glowing footwells
-(maybe) black vinyl roof
-type S tails/sidemarkers
-OEM rain guard things
-roof spoiler
-tail lip
-Teins
-rims
-custom grill



sittin stock


tint the next day

and then...


maybe a month later,

Blue LEDS everywhere

including glove box, center console n white leds in the trunk n license plate


blacked out headlights abbout a year ago


switchbacks

a week after blacking out headlights

The switchback pictures were actually taken today as well(thats why there is condensation)


installed lipkit during winter.. it was 11 degrees outside haha

the day after the lipkit


painted engine piece white


painted the rest black


debadged


Where she currently sits

Right after washing the car

still modding..



oh yeah, after the car wash TODAY, my headlights decide to condensate.. after over a year i blacked out my headlights..

the carwash was free for a week n this girl told me about it..
look what the car wash did to HER acura.

the spinning brushes grabbed her wiper n it broke everything. they offered to pay for the windshield replacement tho.

back to the subject, does this mean i have to open them up again?

Nice progression Maybe one of these days I'll make a progression thread.

On the condensation, I'd just pull your lights out and run a bead of sealant all the way around where the lense meets the housing. Then do the hairdryer method and blow all the condensation out before you put your bulbs back in, no need in resplitting them

Yes sir^^ But the lip is connected to the bumper so it's still one piece... You could probably do the hair dryer method with the lights still in the car, for a temporary fix.

Congrats on finally making a progress thread! I find it much easier to keep all of my projects and such in one thread instead of creating a new thread each time I do something.

Your car is coming along nicely! I would put a drop and the rear Type-S sidemarkers at the top of your priority list. The drop will complement the A-Spec kit very nicely

Wow, sorry to see what happened to the girl's car. I guess it's a good ideal to do it by hand, for sure.

Yeah I bet! Sometimes I wish I had them but I feel like they clutter the sides of the car a bit.

The tails look excellent. I'm not a fan of the window visors either, but they do look good on WDP!

Looks good. How bright are your switchbacks in the daytime? My headlights are completely blacked out like yours and in the daytime you can hardly even tell when my turn signals are on with regular bulbs because the black doesn't reflect much light.

If your TL had been about 2" lower, it would've looked like a different car (in a good way). It does look odd at the stock ride height.
