Didn't get a chance to post this lastnight, but I got my tint redone 16% sides and back (My friend said it comes out to around 20%), front was supposed to be 70%, but my tint friend ran out of time so im going back today for the front!
Finished
Debating on if I even NEED the front window tinted. Looks pretty dark already, but I seen threads about cracked dash. Mine is not cracked and im trying to take car of it as best as possible

Right on, yea I might not even tint the front already. Looks fine
Thanks! I hope I dont get pulled over either :/ they been cracking down on the small things like tint and drop in Hawaii.
Thanks man!
I cut out the letters with exacto knife. Used the blue tape and pressed with my nail the indent for the ACURA letters. Then CAREFULLY cut in between the lines and painted it. Didn't let it dry all the way then I took off the rest of the blue tape. I was going to use something else sharp pointed, but I wanted to get a really clean line so I just made sure where I cut was going to be exact. If not then what you said is right... There will be scratches on the surface. It digs into the panel pretty easy so no need to put lots of pressure when cutting. Just a little works fine.

Got a box in the mail today from Curry Acura
Cant wait to paint these to match my lug nuts.
Does anyone know If I would be able to paint the caliper covers with regular spray paint or do I need the brake rotor/caliper paint. Since the brakes get hot. I really wanted to get paint from a local store to match my lug nuts. I have been looking for caliper paint in blue that matches, but I only found light and dark blue. No metalic colors or anything near it. Any input will be awesome. Thanks!

I might just leave the black for now till it gets scratched or dirty, then paint it. The way it came is so nice already!
Random pics
Don't mind the cemetery, dropped off flowers at my dads grave.
Starting to get back into the gym again! Spent some money on my body instead of my car lol
Went to do my Stage 3 exhaust yesterday. Love the sound I would even go louder. I'm going to leave it the way it is because the Jpipe and race pipe should be coming and hopefully that adds some noise also. If not I could always change the exhaust

Just got in my Canon 60D yesterday, also went off and bought me a Tokina 11-16mm F/2.8 lens which both costed me enough to buy new rims :/ But its okay rims will come sooner or later, I wanted another camera badly since my other 60D got stolen
I have more pics, but just didn't get time to resize them. Also took off my front license place today and filled the holes with NBP plugs from Curry Acura (Will have updated pics without license plate)
((Uploading more tonight, stay tuned))
I want a 60D also but I'm waiting a little bit, 70D should be out soon.
