I love those red tails on your car. They pop so good against the black!

Thanks, player...I honestly couldn't make up my mind...I really do love BOTH looks. I just sold the 2nd set of smoked ones I modded...I'm going to look into 1 RH OEM clear lens tail to sacrifice to go ahead and make the repair. At only 20 minutes to swap out, it's easy enough for me.

About fogs...
I partially kinda like the no fog look though, to be honest...it's clean and the way the car was intended. That said, I do love the inspire fogs as well as the accords. Especially the way I have them modded now.

The road to modding continues on...
As we see with the second batch, yes tails are perfect and stands just like what we thought

I did fk up a lot of times too, I am kind of still on that road or almost passed it...you know my progress
I could feel it now, I am better with modding

That's why I didn't want to add fogs...lower grilles flow with the wide front end and I love it.
But since inspire doesn't screw that flow, and it's dark (smoked) too, dat's why I added them.

and fk this shit, my english is not enough to descibe how good those pictures are
I hate you man
My TL is full of polen, dust, dirt
I clean it, next dat it's all green again, so waiting for spring to past a little haha

Awesome shots J.
I think this is the best batch
Love the tails and everything

ohhhhhhhhh now I got it
as a Civil Eng...I love takin pictures of bridges

In your shots it's both your TL and a bridge and an old one

That's why I am amazed haha

J, as much as I don't like the 04-06 all red tails, I for some reason always liked them on your car. They just kind of....well.....went with it.

Not that I don't like the other tails that you have customized, but since modding the 04-06 ones and seeing them on your car, I like the looks of them a lot more than the other set.

Great work brother, keep it up!

Adam, funny you ask...on my way back from Melbourne, I nailed about 10 of them, on front of car, on I-95, nothing...when I switched to Turnpike, there were a few but then I saw people that had come from further North and their windshield's were fkn COVERED! LOL...I hate love bug season.

Thank you, btw.

Thank you, man...it's a CSL spoiler...K1bspec had them made, custom and sells them sometimes if he has any left. I knew when I saw it that it was the ONLY spoiler I wanted that would make me put the trunk spoiler in my rearview mirror forever. No regrets here!

Thank you, as always for your commentary and I'm very happy to know you enjoyed them too...I also was VERY in love with that old bridge...fascinating to see how things used to be put together will all visible bolts and industrial steel etc. So cool.

Thank you, Chipper...it's funny, I modded the base reds on a fluke...figured I'd see what I could come up with since most people don't bother with 'em. Once I did, I went to install them and almost didn't...I did not think they looked good in relation to the old set. Funny, over time, pictures and comments...they have really grown on me...the red contrast and slight modification where you don't see the red chrome reflecting off the bezel does wonders for the look.

And we all know, if you're in a room, there will be no problems "keeping it up".

LMAO, Okay, I have to say, I will give Austin his just desserts. After doing his fogs with him and having our cars side by side, I knew that I'd have to have them too. I do love the accord fogs, the fact that I had them looking custom and painted...but the inspires were too perfectly flowing with the front of the car to not get them. I waited a solid month between paying and receiving them with NO communication from the seller...I called and emailed and finally, last Saturday the guy told me they had shipped. Whatever, they arrived, that's all that mattered.

I'm fucking stoked...seriously, couldn't be happier. I had toyed with the idea of leaving my car without fogs but after seeing this, I will not be revisiting that option.

Easy install last night over a couple of hours and beers. Wiring was all there, obviously...and bumper was already partially trimmed. Just cleaned everything up and trimmed perfectly.

J.

Damn J, those fogs look perfect on your car, as they do on Austin's as well. You guys have set the bar very high for NBP owners, especially ones in Florida!

I really hope I can make it down to FL this year. I would love to see your car in person once again

Hey, you and Austin, some of the pioneers, bud...Emmanuel too. I just mention cause it was the day of his install, seeing my car side by side with his that I realized that I had to be honest about who's looked better, and his did, hands down. Ran it by the captain (wifey) and SHE agreed, even though it'd mean more money and more time to mod...which is saying a lot.

You know, Chip, you and Aaron mentioning that you'd prefer this look to the factory OEM ones did play a major role in my decision making process

Tyler. You, thanks. You, come to Florida in your car with Misteee. You, bring a set of Inspire fogs with you. You, Austin and I will install them while here. You, come, now.

Those fogs look so much better than the Accord fogs. They fit the front end so much better.
