After a bout between me and Klasse AIO polish and sealant glaze, (it nearly beat me) this was the outcome. A few other 'new' things











p.s. note to self. Use a professional buffer when using a professional grade product from now on...

Done: DVD2Nav w/ camera & dvd, Injen CAI (for 140 I couldnt say no), rsb (omg omg omg <3 )

Next: Tint! (just for you dartmann ), Wheels

It was worth the work. It looks great!

Nice, and also ur comment is very true,"p.s. note to self. Use a professional buffer when using a professional grade product from now on..."

Cecilt

Car looks great. I also use the Klasse AIO and Sealant Glaze. I have always done this by hand without power equipment(buffer). I might go this route though. Can you give me some pointers. Do you use the buffer after the AIO step. Do you apply the AIO to the whole car and then buff. Do you use the buffer after applying the Sealant Glaze? How long did you wait before buffing after the sealant glaze? I waited about 30 minutes. Thanks

trancemission

Looks great leedogg. Now paint the grill body color and put a black emblem on there..

leedogg

First off, that note to self was me chastising myself for not using a power buffer for the sealant glaze.

I can answer some of your questions though. Use the buffer after the sealant glaze only. The AIO needs to be wiped off almost immediately after application and it's fairly easy to remove as long as you dont let it set in. Another mistake was that I let the sealant glaze set overnight (was late and getting dark, got tired of trying to remove it by hand)

30 mins should suffice.

leedogg

Thanks all

which grill? I like contrast. no more white, just black touches now Black emblem is a possibility.. need to look into whats involved with that..

datmrman

First off, get my name right! Second, I'll repost this here from xtin's thread:

Leedogg, looking smooth as well, but you need to get some rims... and tint it already!

I like the black trim you've placed in the door handles. It looks good. You should add the shaved door mod on your car.

Congrats on the ride man. Love it! I'll get there eventually.

leedogg

Sorry datmrman

I was wondering who would be the first to notice the handle trim good eye. Yeah, now that I've got the kp module, i dont have much of an excuse huh? plus, it will foil all thiefs!


I'll get rims when I find a closer match to these that will fit:

datmrman

Its cool dude.

Shaved door mod is available from Acura of Escondido on eBay. Like you didn't know that already.

What finish and size are you thinking of going with? If you post that picture in the Tire subforum, I'm sure you'll get some help locating a match. Good luck.

Looking forward to seeing the car with rims... and TINTS!

Andrew McCarthy

Finish looks great but how much better is it than the Zaino you had on there (or maybe it was xtin) and do you think it was really worth the effort?

Great looking ride.

The title of this thread cracks me up.

AMIC

Looks great. I really like the black Acura sticker on the front. I don't think white would look good at all on the front of my ABP.

jmbnova

Nice whip there Lee... Looking as good as it did when you clayed it at my house...

Like the new mods as well... are you happy with the Injen now instead of an AEM?? Who did the install?

We do need to get you some rims and Tint and what about that 'other thing' I have... still interested?

Lookin really good bro. Time for some wheels on that whip.

trancemission

I like contrast too, but I dont like the silver grill, I never did, thats why I painted mine, the only car it looks good on is the SSM IMO. thats just me though. car looks great.

nice sticker on the bumper

looking great son!

leedogg

Yeah thats a big piece of the remaining puzzle. Expensive investment though, and it will take some time to find the right ones, and I'll likely be spending lots of $$ for them. They can wait til i find the right ones though, stock's are tight.

HBaJ

im really feelin ure neighbors Accord, ure TL isnt too shabby either lol

simonsez

what's RSB???

omnuts

Rear Sway Bar

jupitersolo

Sharp looking, the wheels are sharp as well. I saw them on some website was thinking about them.

maluskills

lee - what exactly is the benefit of the energy bushings for your comptech rsb do? and how much did they run you?

leedogg

More durable than the comptech bushings that come with the sway bar. There also seems to be a lot of problems where people report 'clunking' with the comp bushings. the energy bushings are the recommended solution. Theres a post in parts/performance regarding the energy bushings

Boartman

Nice job , Sleepdogg ,

get some rims already.

maluskills

did you replace your front 'A' emblem or am i just seeing things?

PS-your ride is definitely motivating me to start modding my ride!!

leedogg

You're seeing things, that's a really shiny stock emblem although I really want to make it dark/black ebony chrome...

0000

nice ride, supa clean.

pinky_ttc

Wow, looks just like Jon's. You even got the black acura decal. Nice.

Rims are needed, just not inspyres.
The ones that you are checking out are nice.

joed40

Damn CT and their front license plates, the car looks so much nicer without one.

Nice car lee! Lots of work.

Midnight_TL

dang...freakin clean! i love it man. good work leedogg. about those black chrome emblems...can u buy em anywhere? or is it a DIY?

leedogg

Thanks guys!


Yeah I'll get rims, no worries, they wont be inspyres, although they're nice, I'm definitely going for the black on white look


Think you can buy them somewhere for a hundred something (all emblems)

AcurasGhost

Lookin' good man! Cya at the meet Aug 12th!
