pics of my car - painted grill, eyelids, black tails
One again, thanks to AAP for hosting the pictures.
Here's my car.
The mods are in signature
Xenon fogs. This was the best picture I could take
Eyelids and body colored grill
Black taillights (I know, the quality isn't that great)

There's nothing wrong with stock wheels w/ ASPEC kit...it looks nice, actually...only thing I don't like are the BSM's and eyelids...the grille is awesome and the tails are nice. Any plans to spray the front turn signals and/or heads?

I got the eyelids off eBay.
It's funny how it is, half of my friends think the eyelids look horrible, the other halft think they're actually nice.
BTW, what is BSM? the A-Spec badge?

definently take off all the badges in the rear... i like the eyelinds though..
your a-spec badge is placed incorrectly, it should be on the right bottom of the trunk. I also believe that if your car isnt an a-spec, you shouldnt get the badge. but to each is own..
Where did you get those fog lights?

I put the plate cause I've seen a lot of VW and Audi owners here in NY drive like that.
Those HIDs in the fog lights are the cheapest 9006 HID kit that I found on eBay. Cost me something like $215 shipped.
However, in reality the HIDs in the fogs are VERY blue...they make my stock HID look like regular halogen bulb. BUT they are not bright and nobody every flashed their lights at me for blinding them.
The A-Spec badge is placed incorrectly...I've seen it placed both ways though. I may remove all the badges prob...
Thanks for the thoughts...
I wish I could find some company that makes a roof wing for our car...that would've looked nice.

Not real keen on the eyelids with the light off, but the painted grill looks really sharp. I'm thinking of doing it on my '06TL 6MT.
How did you get the paint to adhere to the chrome??

I like it all the way around.
The BSM dont set the car off too far. And if it makes me not have to park in the very back of a parking lot I might get some.
I really like how the pictures of your plates have a white line on them..
that would be great for speed cameras..

Well there's no chrome for the paint to stick too. The original grill is made out of plastic and just looks like its polished, it's not. So yeah, the paint stuck perfectly to it. Although the shop said had those part been made out of urethane or metal it would've been better sticking

I just went to eBay and typed Acura TL eye lids. The guy who is selling them has a picture of eyelids on the Ford Focus. That's the person whom I've bought these eyelids from.
They were around $30 or something like that. He also has the same lids in carbon fiber.

Did it ever come to your mind that those are german cars, so they put "german" plates on 'em.... your car aint german
and anyway i dont care if the car is german or not, it looks gay either way.
also those BSMs make the side of the car overcharged imo... but atleast they are functionnal...
next step for your car should be a drop, then wheels! Complete debadging, too.

I'm divided on the eyelid thing. Looks weird with the lights off, but bad ass with them on. You might wanna drive around with your lights on at all times 
Also, def. need rims but I'm sure you're already working on that. Thanks for the pics I have an antracite w/nav and am figuring out what direction I want to take it. I'm thinking normal aspec at this point.

I know. I deffinitely need rims. I'm just waiting for someone to sell a set of used A-Spec rims on eBay. None of the other rims appeal to me as much as A-Spec, maybe Maya rims but they're $$$
