Im lovin the progress J; headlights and tail lights look awesome. I love the white brembos too. I'm still debating what color I want to do mine!
The wheels look sick, and I mean both sets. I think this time around I will keep my waffles as my stockies instead of the aspecs though, seems like everyone has them

They're the optional oe wheel that just so happens to look great on the 3G.
Of course everyone has them!
Which makes you wonder...why are waffles stolen so often and aspecs aren't?

Waffles wheels are stolen by the same type of people who steal civic's. When you get to that mentality and try to understand the logic, you've become brain dead.

Congrats on the pickup. I just skimmed all the pages to get caught up. A few things I noted…
1. Shoulda kept rocking the Type S sides with Aspec front and back. We coulda been twinkies. I still personally don’t think it’s enough of a difference to spend the dough. That’s my $0.02 anyway.
2. You’ve put amber DRL on two TLs before I could get around to doing it on mine.
3. Loved those shots with the Wolfgang sealer freshly applied. Paint looked so deep.
4. Your removal of the black vinyl roof to expose the stock color has sealed my decision to leave my roof as is…all nice and WDP for the world to see.
5. I’ve been dealing with that dang “tighten fuel cap” message since I bought the car. Guess it’s time to fix that.
6. I do like the cleared headlights on your car, but I still can’t bring myself to crack mine open. Still digging the amber on the WDP for me.
7. Have you been happy with the DEPOS with the black bezels? Do they fog up much, if any?
8. I like the Brembo rear caliper covers.
Love what you've done with it. Keep it up.

Cracking the headlights open seems like a daunting task, but it seriously isn't. Honestly, it's kind of hard to screw up. If anything, the only thing I can recommend is making sure you buy some replacement butyl tape to seal the headlights back up. Otherwise, it's pretty dang easy.

I feel like that has to be it, I keep looking at it, trying to be objective and I can't force myself to not love them on the KBP. The gunmetal is SUCH a great compliment to the color of the car. I mean, I'd be down to try a different finish, but not at the cost of mount/dismount and paying for PC only to look back and miss the gunmetal with the custom polished dual outer ring.
Anyway, overcast/stormy today...got a couple of new ones...

1. Hmmm...I may agree with you on that!
2. I'm a freak! Ironically I really dig the white on the KBP color.
3. Thank you!
4. No vinyl! :devil:
5. My buddy's told me which thing to buy, super easy to swap and cost $95 to fix.
6. Now that it's done, I can't tell you how happy I am that I did it.
7. No fog...but the fitment is off, that's for sure. Oh well...I have 2 other OEM sets to choose from.
8. Thanks!

Is it rocket science, not it's not...but to end up with perfectly done headlights, there are some things you can only learn by making mistakes.
Anyone that wants guidance, feel free to PM me and I can share some of my mistakes.
Thank you Henry.

Love the latest set of shots J, can't believe I hadn't commented already
Ugh, i was gonna keep my tails stock, but now you have me thinking. I really miss my old set of S tails with the bezel black, bottom reflector CF and white internals... Might need to get on that again The list gets longer and longer

Jeremy, fantastic car. I remember years ago on s2000.com seeing your pictures of the s2k and have been following your builds (and driving by your house every night 
) since. Black beauty was why I got a Tl in the first place. Car looks fantastic and I would love to have that combo myself. Keep up the good work

Yes sir, I'm happy with the functional height, I actually enjoy seeing the entire tire.
Michelin PSS on now...they ride VERY nicely. Most expensive tires I've ever bought.
+29 235/40...no spacers.
