I didn't even notice the front bumper was missing the ACURA letterings. I think it looks clean like that. Since you are taking the lights apart, black it out.

How come you're getting coils as opposed to pairing your H&R's with Koni's?

He is saying why are you wanting to get coilovers, when you already have the h&r's and why dont you just get the koni struts to pair them with your springs already instead of getting full coilovers.

How much negative camber are you running? It looks to be quite a bit.

Dont let the moisture sit in the headlight for long, the ballasts are very sensitive and can go bad even with the slightest hint of moisture.

Why are you getting new wheels? Those wheels are perfect!

*edit*

I think you should paint the ACURA letters on the lower part of the front bumper black, or get the sticker inserts, it would look great.

P.S. You also should get the bumper caps, or as someone else said in another thread, you need to get the nipples for the TL.
