Thanks Low Low...
remember what I was talking about in Tyler's thread?
These are the 2 that jump out at me when I was going through the set

I love those red tails on your car. They pop so good against the black!
#7489
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.

Yeah, I get you, bud...totally agree on keeping the shape from a distance due to the contrast the reds produce.
Honestly, I only do it right the first time NOW because of how many times I have NOT done it right in the past. Only way to get good at stuff is to fk up a LOT first. And that, I have.
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...

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!

Thank you, btw.
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.

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.
Dawwww

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

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.

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

Honestly, Yum, I don't see that ever happening. There's one locally, but I don't LOVE it enough to try it myself.
Thanks fellas...I totally agree!
