Damn Jeremy....Thanks for the post....
I do have a porter cable which Matt "barrowed"
I use the Menzerna which really brings the color out but the sealant I have sucks and hence the shine is gone within couple weeks....
I might end up getting the Wolfgang sealant....
Also, how do you maintain it? do you quick any quick wax or quick detailer?

NO sir, I'm nuts...probably every month or 2 I wash the car and my OCD kicks and I think, hmmm...need another coat!
I DO have a quick detailer, but don't like using it much. I have Zaino Z6 and Meg's quik detailer...the black one. The red one...fkn sucks and streaks like crazy.
PM Nick@autogeek, see if you can pay shipping for a sample to see if you dig it. It's a lot at $40 but that bottle should last you YEARS! AND Free shipping today, so you could place an order for it.

Don't buy any, Anil. I just ordered the $40 bottle of the stuff today! I also ordered the permanent tire shine as well.
Thanks again for the tip Jeremy. I bought both with free shipping.

Let me know what you guys think about it...especially Anil since you're putting it on NBP. I really have not seen anything that leaves as "wet" of an appearance with so little effort to apply it.

Not the greatest quality but I LOVE how the car looks at night from a distance...especially with the glow of all the HID love up front and the license plate CCFL and the Amp'd emblem and the tails with no frosted diffuser.
and here is one from this morning...still looking pretty clean!

Ughh because of that I want fogs 
I love those two angle shots on a TL
Well, on a nice looking TL
Both look perfect
Acura really did a nice job on the 04-06 A-Spec kit
You notice it much more when lowered
Flows nicely, sits so good on the road

People who would put spinners on a S-Class I guess 
but to be honest modding a car shows the personality, if you ask me
some would put RJ kit, would have riced out friends, I don't know
Many crazy modded cars around him I guess
or
People who slam the hell out of a TL
I can't.. people around me would laugh at me
What is perfect for me is that black car posted up there
Not sure who the owner is but..
YES!!! You guys should take night shots

I need to learn how to take night shots...
Well, to be honest, with mods, it's an ebb and flow. You love something, then change it and change it again etc...never know. I appreciate that you dig it though. I really do.
I've seen the RJ kit done well, painted properly etc, fitting right...it CAN look cool but something about the one piece bumper and grill inserts that haven't been my thing.
here's my car when I thought red anodized emblems would look good...

Just saw the last pics from cellphone. Can't from here
Loved the pics with blue sky + headlights or bluish glare on top
I didn't know you had that emblem
Don't know what paint you used for that red but I love that tone
Edit: Yeah because on every black car, red goes pretty well.
I love yellow too but it goes better with white body
but I would want him to keep the blue, no one has that tone

damn Jeremy....car looks damn good....intimidating but subtly
and i like the RJ kits front bumper and the side skirt....detest the rear with a passion....but anyway, i think Acura did great with the ASPEC lip kit....flows very nice and adds sooo much to the look of the car....

Yea, I'd say the RJ kit is just too extreme. Looks a little F&F to me.
But I gotta say, I'm surprised to say that I really like the look of that Amped emblem! Looks very clean on your car. How does it install?

I'm over the red for my car, the valvestem blue was what started it for me, then the lugs, and now the projectors.

yeah, agreed...TREW's TL (the white one with RJ kit) looks really good in person, it's just never been my style. Then again, we all know how admittedly fickle I can be.
