Nice car, cocky title. A bit overdone with the black for my taste.

Psycho, the A C U R A lettering on the front bumper, I would make them SSM, this will make your front look extra sexy...

Dude, R you wearing a flame suit?
Get ready to catch heat from other SoCal TLs. Plenty of other finer TLs in SoCal.
Car looks nice but the whole black wheel theme have been overdone lately. I see everything from Kia Rios and Civics to Mercedes CLSs and Soccer Mom Minivans doing the black wheels. They're a dime a dozen now.
Anything else with the audio?
JPTL04's comes to mind as a finer TL

Car looks nice, one thing... did you black out only one of your headlights? (Left light looks blacked out + cleared while right looks only cleared). Definitely need to remove mud guards & TL badge + add A-Spec rear lip.
Damn.....that's BOLD!

You screwed your front plate into your bumper?

Hey all, I just found this: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=137560
The title is a continuation of an earlier progress thread. So, although he is claiming to be the "finest", it's no different from what he's always been claiming.
Like I said, earlier, though, the ride is nice, but not the nicest. I agree with a previous poster who said the wheels/ride looked better before the black paint.

it's different which is why you got a few more neg responses than you think.
i think it's done very well, tho i personally wouldn't do it.
and yea, filling in the ACURA on the front with SSM domed decal would really set it off nicely;
your first pic made me laugh, but it's probably a combination of self-hating on myself, and the fact that you placed yourself in front of the car for a pic on a car forum.
OTHER Than that, it looks very clean
i think to really complete the look, and i assume it's more of an import/transformer type of look; i'd get the full A-spec kit, and get all of it black, gives all the other SSM parts a floating look; and i would also invest in some LED ground FX kits; a nice blue/white hue under your car would totally set it off in the direction i believe you are trying to achieve. oh yea, and if you have a chance try blacking out the headlights;
again, don't be discouraged by neg comments, you post on a forum for both the good and bad; and if it's all good you never really learn anything.

^^ I laughed my ass off as well when he asked that. Were you kidding?
Oh yeah just noticed you need the side aspec skirts as well if you plan to play with the big boys in cali....No expense spared over there.
