Came out great, nice line-up of vehicles in your garage, I've always heard that Type-SH handles very well in turns -- one of the best FWD performers produced (in the handling dept) -- any truth to that?

Thanks for the compliments!

And yes, the Prelude SH handles beautifully. You can accelerate hard through most turns with little or no understeer.

Our goal with the TL is to make it handle as close as possible to the Prelude without compromising comfort. So far the A-Spec suspension is working out great, and we hope to install the CT RSB very soon. Maybe when the Michelins wear out we can upgrade our wheel/tire package to 18's.

BTW, I have a theory that my wife finally decided to get rid of her SUV (http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dan_e2...48.jpg&.src=ph )because we traded cars one day and she rmembered what sporty handling felt like.

To this day she would not admit it.

Also, forgot to thank all Acurazine members for all their useful info, and for helping us out in the decision making process.

Nice! looks fast standing still and excellent choice w/ the color How does the underbody paint match w/ the rest of the car? Where and how much was it?

Looks exactly like mine. Nice! You will enjoy it. Good choice on the kit.

Nice car, any plans on getting some wheels?

I got the kit on eBay from Acura of Escondido. It was $844 shipped to Miami. At first i thought the kit was slightly off, but it was the car that was a bit dirty. It matches perfectly.

2K2, your '04 was one of the ones I saw on the forum that made me decide to get the kit.

We are planning to get wheels sometime next year after our tires wear out. I will probably go with some 5-spoke 18's with a nice chrome lip. My favorite are the HRE 545's. But we might have to go two years instead to save up for them. Realistically, we might just get something similar that costs a bit less. HRE's are a bit pricey to say the least.

Again, thanks for all the compliments.

Lookin' good.

SSMTL04

did you have to remove the back bumper?? Or is everything just an add on??

Jinen

the front and rear are add-on's but the sides have to be replaced completely...

the car looks exactly like mine!!

funk101

I hear ya'. There are lots of SSM's out there. And they all look bad-ass!

I can't wait to get wheels though. It will help differenciate it a bit.

funk101

Thanks. I hope to get the CT RSB just like you did.

The CT + A-Spec package must be nice on those Honolulu roads!

Here in Miami we got nothing but on/off ramps. That's as good as it gets.

Nice ride.. What kind of tint is that on your car?

funk101

I just called the install place. They use Solar Guard titanium. I realized a bit late that there have been issues with certain types of tint interfering with the navi. So far so good though.

iTISTIC

Yeah you may have problems w/ that in the future. Hopefully not, though. I'm gettin F1 Pinnacle installed Thursday. Couldn't find anyone to tint illegally though .. Gettin 30% front windows, 15% rear windows.

sweet!! just like my car.

body kit seems to be gap-free...did you use the thicker 3M tape? i might take mine back to the dealer and tell them to re-do it. after 6 months, i'm seeing gaps in the front (rear seems to be ok).

funk101

There is a small gap on the fron lip where it wraps around to the side. Right now it's very thin, about 1 mm or so. But I will take your advice into conderation if it gets worse.

Thanks
