some opinions on what to do to my car

What should i do to my car?
was thinking...

Type-S tail lights (~100 each) or rockblockers w/ white slits cut out (39)
Type-S rear lamps (52.95 each)
A-Spec kit (840ish or just rear lip 250ish)
exhaust---undecided.






i just want some outside opinions, thanks

yea, that was one of my options...BUT they dont have the Tl-s a spec rear lip in CGP...idk why. only way to get dual exhausts would be to get an unpainted Type-S bumper.

Yep, you have to get it painted yourself and chop up your stock bumper to make it fit.

If you go with the Type-S tails, hit me up and ill buy up your base Tails if you want to sell them to help re-coop the cost. Ive been waiting for someone to throw a set on the BM forever now.

Also IMO...remove the dealer plate frame.

Car looks good. Tint it, get the Type S tails, A-spec kit, ATLP Quads, Drop, and some rims if you like.

What do you mean by Type-S rear lamps? The sidemarkers? If so, then definitely get them if you will be getting the tails.

It looks beautiful as it already is. But a good tint job and TypeS tails and rear spoiler will definitely make it more

If i was you, 10 thing I would do are...

1. Tint (250 - 350) (dont forget the moleskin!)
2. Aspec Kit all around (TL-S) (800 Groupbuy this with Tim from hondaacuraworld.com)
3. Suspension (probalby A-Spec cuz its cheaper and effective, and modest drop (650))
4. J Pipe (400)
5. ATLP or Excelerate by BB TL-S exhaust (950 - 1050)
6. Progress Rear Sway Bar (140)
7. CAI (250)
8. Rims (1000 - 3000)
9. Outlaw Engineering Thermoblock gaskets. (100)
10. Angel Eyes and Clear out Headlights (dIy) (150ish)



Personally, i like your taillights. TL-S is nice, but yours are in my book.


Look forward to seeing the progress you make on your car!

wow...so many people have wanted to buy my tail lights. i already have many PMs about it. i should let you all fight to the death for them hahahah jk. well, i will definitely sell them to offset the cost, but there is a line already for them cuz so many people like the 07-08 look

and...well, i put the dealer license plate back on a few nights ago after i (mostly my parents) decided to go to UCLA over USC so i removed my USC frame and now im ordering a UCLA one and giving the SC one back to my dad to put on his car.

I would lose the dealership plate frame since they don't pay you to advertise for them.

you looking for aesthetics only? or performance? for externals only, i'd start with the a-spec kit and then work from there. rims after maybe? leave the lamps and tails on for NOW, do that AFTER; no need to change em' just yet, you're an 07!

yea, hahah i gotta represent. so many people want my tail lights well, the only thing about the tail lights is that i need to remove the bumper , but the sidemarkers are simple and about 100 for both. aspec will be sick cuz im prob gonna do exhaust. then debadge.

so i will soon be selling some of my old parts hahah.

blacked out headlights.
cai & rsb

I am too old for this

When I was 17 I had a bike. Your parents must be loaded to drop 30 grand on a car for you.

I couldnt afford a car like this until I finished post grad work.

Just be careful driving. I know how cocky I was 21 years ago. Too many kids come in to the ER from accidents.

Enjoy your ride. But do yourself a favor and be grateful for it. When you take this kind of gift for granted you become an asshole.

yea, thats exactly what i said to my friend hahaha. "when i was 17, i had a TL. your parents must be loaded to drop 400k on a car for you."

i doubt i will ever afford a car like that until i hit the lottery

i am suprised he hasnt gotten a ticket. if i was a cop and saw his orange lambo, i would give him a ticket for 1 over the speed limit hahahahah.
