I wanted the 07-08 type-s A-spec front lip, But I dont want the accord fogs. So Im going to go with the 06 base A-spec front lip and do the inspire fogs. I only want the front lip cuz thats what really stands out to me.

I do but the side skirts barely make a difference from what I saw. And the rear I think is fine but not trying to drop 250+ for a new rear bumper when I got a Good one still.

I like my mud flaps. I can spend that money for the rear A-spec lip on something else.

I thought about vinyl wrapping it. But maybe plasti dip, to see how it looks black and then if I do like it get it painted glossy black.

Can't believe I haven't revisited this thread since you created it.

It looks excellent! White wheels are becoming increasingly popular, and I can see why.

I agree with Tyler, A-Spec kit next.

Keep up the great work! I'll visit more often.

I meet up with two other Azine members today!! And here are some pics I manage to snap.
This is while I was waiting for them to get here. Before I forget I did the roof of my TL black today cuz I was bored. I think Im going to redo it but vinyl wrap it.








I Love this PIC! Just saying.










Sorry I took so many pics. Hope you enjoy.
