I don't like it sorry, the seats def look ricer, looks like someone stomped on the seats with dirt, then smeared them all over. The rest like someone said its played out.

But it does not matter what we think as long as you like it.

BTW if you got an 05 tl why do you have 04 seats?

It is an 04, it has the black/chrome acura emblem on the airbag which is only for 04 models. As for the seats the centers are new leather. They are not Perforated Inserts, but instead flat.

as others have said, if you like it, then that's all that matters.

personally, not my cup of tea...but that's just my opinion.

not sure about the seats.
not sure about the tinted heads n tails.
huge exhaust is not for me.

cf-di noc looks about right on the interior. i'll be doing that on mine as well.
interesting approach with the cf on the front grill, how's that holding up for you? i'm planning on getting a cf hood from vis soon, and wanted to match the bumper either black (nbp car) or cf (cf hood)

i think if you cleaned her up real nice and took some better pictures, it would give us something better to work with.

The outside of the car looks real nice. The seats on the other hand I am not to sure about. They look like they are silver, really weird and what is the deal with the material on the center arm rest it's drooping down. Are the seats completely re-done or just the center parts?

I don't think it's as ricey as others do, but I'm on the fence about the overall look. The workmanship seems decent and I like a few of the custom touches, but it looks like a test-mule, i.e. a dulled, grayed/blacked out car you'd see in some car magazine's "spy photos for next year's model". My , but to each his/her own.

Oh, and Commodore64 called... they want their type face back.

**MOD EDIT**

. I may have to agree with you guys on the headlight tints but apart from that im not really understanding the whole "ricer", maybe you guys just arnt greddy fans, dunno. but the di noc holds up perfect for the exterior parts so far, about 3 months, no problems. I think with almost all cars rear tints are a must but maybe you guys will give a better review when the 19" Tenzo R's and Tein coilovers are on and its dropped a bit.

Holy bright red rear sidemarkers, Batman!!
Di-Noc looks good---glad to hear it holds up well on the exterior of the car. Jaime is right---lots of people jumping on that bandwagon!
Personally, I don't like tints on any of the lights. I would clear/black the headlights out and pick up some Type-S tails and sides.
Undecided on the 2 tone seats---I'd probably have to see them in person before forming an opinion either way.
This car cries out for an A-Spec kit!

ummm ... you better start watching your language ... I'm sensing a ban real soon lol

Personally, I think the dinoc doesn't look all that bad, but again the tints and seats ... you have to understand that a lot of us here on the AZ forums have matured from that style of modifications so you'd have to excuse our biased pov's lol

yes.

constructive criticism seems to have lost its way in this thread.

i always like criticism, good or bad, it helps you improve on things and lets you know when you should/shouldn't have done something. sometimes other sets of eyes see things you don't.

That's what I thought, but his signature says 05. Either he made a mistake or someone sold him an 04, and told him it was an 05.

Meh. I guess that's what happens when a car looks timeless, but is actually 6-7 years old. Prices go down, parents buy them up for their kids.



edit: oh, and it's 'tint', not 'tints'. G-H-E-T-T-O.

I like... it would have been more slick if you remove the side molding, and get BLACK CHROME TIPS!! and the red rear side markers look at of place. either add some more red "high lights" or smoke it out.I am not sure about the leather seats either, but its unique, hope it doesnt damage the leather
