Well I washed the car this weekend and polished the exhaust tips. Came out much better but I realized the driver's side is hanging a little lower than the passenger side. I checked all the hangers and they seemed to be fine so I'm not sure why it's hanging

Guess I'll have to figure it out or have it looked at


Excuse the effect lol. Pic was too dark otherwise.

Quan, may I suggest you remove the ACURA badge on the back!


I moved over my TL badge and put it where the ACURA badge used to be-to balance out the look!


You've got the "A" logo on the back-no need for the ACURA badge (in my opinion).

Believe me guys I feel you on the debadging. I debadged the DGP completely (except the center "A") and I will probably completely debadge the Type-S except for the "A" and the "S," But I do like your suggestion of moving the TL over to that side Steven! That may always be another option.

I also have a sticker to remove below my license plate (the Black with blue stripe) but I'm scared to see whats under it since it came on the car lol...




MORE IMPORTANTLY.


The car was picked up today

The buyer seems really happy with the car and I'm glad to see it go since I needed the money, but man that thing was my baby!

Yeah I think you should at least take the Acura badge off.

The TL and S Badges matching seems like a good idea too.

Yeah, I like that look a lot! Thanks Steven! I may remove the TL and just leave the center Acura "A" and the "S" on the right. Thats what I'd really like to do but I have a feeling it will look a little too plain so the TL to the left might help balance it out!

I now have all my parts in for my brakes (paint, decals, brakemotive kit, caliper covers, etc) and I have my puddle lights so I can finally put on my side skirts and finish up my footwell lighting. I'm planning on wiring them the same way; to the Dome Supervisor wire and they will then come on only when I open the door and when I lock the car with my keyfob they will fade to off. Basically same as I had on my old DGP.

Hopefully over the next few days I can get off my ass and get it all done!

In other news,

I've given JNC the order to go ahead with my custom headlights
&
I've sent payment to ACKTL05 to start on my tails

Glenn, I know man. I had the decals made by the same person who made the brembo decals


I thought it would be closer to dinoc and wasn't happy either. Maybe I'll have another set made and redo them later
