Loving the headlights! DIY? Nice background as well, looks much better in person. I'm always down there visiting family! Good work!

Thank you Sir's!

The headlights were definitely a do it yourself mod, ...very time consuming and requires delicate attention. Couldn't have done it without my brothers help.

Car looks great!! Not sure I would have kept the amber reflectors or might have gone with color match, which would have been different. Did you upgrade projectors and/or lens as well? The black may have been the best option...but predictable...just my don't mean to be hyper critical, just know you are going for a few levels beyond hot...doin' great

chico, i saw that your lights were color matched. the RRP looks great color matched.

im not 100 percent sure but i think someone with WDP color matched their headlights awhile back and they didnt look that good. it looks weird color matched WDP.

Have you ever considered matching the front Acura logo to match the color of your rims? I just keep wondering how it would look.

Everytime I see your car I think of becoming your alternate... like what would an 07 tl-s look like with a whited out a spec center rear bumper, white hood, white roof, white hood and some combo of white in the front a-spec... that would be some shit

Thanks for all the comments and feedback.

The camera is a Canon Rebel Xti set on automatic. Used natural light in all of them.

And Vinny hurry up and get to Charlotte so i can take some pictures of your TSX!

Thanks bro. There's no telling what I might do, sometimes random ideas just pop into my head and all of a sudden i'm up and modifying. It's such an expensive hobby, and i'm sure you know what i mean haha.

I'm glad you've still got your TL Dat...i remember when you were indecisive about trading the TL in for something else. I encourage you to keep modifying her and be the west coast entity for WDP on TE-37s.

I have wanted to black out my headlights for a long time, however I wanted to keep some orange reflector. You did exactly what I was thinking, even better. What did you do? I saw your TL while going into the melting pot last year, It looked great then but I like it even more now.

Damn i missed this question, sorry bro...but to answer it, yes. I cut the amber piece where the reflector starts, and left the reflector in the headlight.
