PICS!! '05 Aspec wheels against Stock / Debadged ABP / 245's
Well after picking my '05 ABP last Thursday, I am done with a few mods. So far, I have installed the new Sparkle Silver A-spec wheels / replaced the stock Michelins with Toyo 245/40/18's / Debadged the emblems. The car goes in for tinting this weekend and then maybe the decklid spoiler.
Anyways, here are some before and after pictures and the URL for the rest of them.

Very nice. What size are those tires? In the second shot they look much taller than the stock ones. I really like tha stock wheels but when I see those A-Spec wheels I get a little jealous. Now you need the body kit.

I was pleasently suprised that I like the look of the rear much better after Debadging.
I am taking delivery of a 2k5 NBP with the Kit, Lid Spoiler, and the same Silver 18's you have.
I think I want to Debadge the rear and was wondering if you could pass along some directions on how to do it.
Thanks,

Cheetah19,
Use a hairdryer to warm the glue holding the badges on and then just use dental floss to cut through the glue. I first debadged the 'TL' which actually took twice as long as the 'Acura'.

The 235/45-17 = 25.4"
The 235/40-18 = 25.4"
3/10's in not insignificant.
Not sure why you went with 245's. Depending on the offset and wheel width and tire pressure, the contact patch could be slightly higher, or less than OE.
