Nicely done bro!!!! Both the drop and the rims looks awesome. Hey if you need instructions on how to clear the headlights, you can find it here. I post it up, if I can find it for you. As far as the kit, I think the A-Spec is a little better and cleaner than the RONJON's.

Yeah..I know there is a DIY for the headlights..but I am scared I am going to F*@# it up..I am not very mechanical and NO shops in the Tampa Bay Area do it...Plus I dont see to many people on this forum from tampa, st pete, clearwater or brandon fl that I could even meet up with if they know how....Very sad b/c I have seen some Anthracite that have it cleared+color matched or blacked out and it looked soooo good...

there are a few tampa AZ members and regarding the black headlights, theyde look sweet with you car, everything would go real nice. It's not so hard to do, more time consuming and tedious

That's looks tight bro....

What is the drop size? I have same color car and tein ss installed sitting on RJ inspyre... when I install it I just set the height based what the "standard/original" tein instruction said. I believe the drop is about 1.7"-ish.... How did you set yours?
However, when I measured from ground up... The front is bit lower than rear... does it happen to you too? I don't have any system on my trunk though.. so probably your rear is lower than mine (in compare to your front)....

What damper setting did you set it to? I put 14 (r) and 11(f)... I feel the bump more.. but the handling is superb....

For your future MOD..... AEM-intake bro.. you'll love the growl.... I love mine ... it's so ecstatic

d1jey1..Thanks man...I dont know what the shop set them at..we just played with the adjustments till i got a 1/2 finger gap or less when we set it down prolly about 2" ..My back always settles a little lower becuase I have a full system and flush mount in the trunk..The damper is set at 10F/13R...And I cant wait for my intake, I just ordered my A-spec kit and I am ordering the intake for my car next week...

So you decided on aspec kit over ronjon... lol... I personnally think RJ kit looks better... but aspec has more elegant looking... I think you have bit more drop than I do... mine is about very tight finger gap...
anyway.. did you install edfc also.... I didn't do it on mine... but now it start make me wondering again if I should get it... can you describe your ride feeling? stiffness and handling on your damper setting? I'm really curious on how the stiffest setting feel like...

.. also any chance for your system picture on trunk? lol

I am sooo torn on A-spec($800) vs. Ron Jon($2500) , I was also thinking of doing jptl04's hybrid with RJ rear bumber & the rest A-spec..My ride is very tight and not bumpy, it feels like I have gained a lot of handling but didnt loose to much ride, I actually like the fact that when you jerk from one lane to the next that you dont feel like you glided or bounce up and down like u would in a buick/camry...lol...and for the trunk...

Sick. I Got Tein Ss On Mine. I Also Installed The Edfc Controller. That Works Pretty Good. The Only Thing Is That You Have To Take Of Your Front Strut Bar

Those are the Amps in the back..The cap is on the left..the subs are behind the flush mount facing the back seat so the sound reflects into the car...I am going to take that fold down plastic piece thats in the back and put up black metal mesh with a clear fiberglass acura logo inside of it...should look good...

Yeah, i am really glad i didnt the Tein SS's. I didnt do the edfc for now b/c i wouldnt really have any situations where i would need to drastically change the setting (racing). I am still stock in the engine department, maybe after i do a little more bolt on's i will get it.

Wow... super CLEAN man... I like that you still conserve much trunk space... so the sub is on the other side of the amp and facing the the passenger?
I'm thinking about doing something like that, but still waiting for the fund, lol.... did you install it urself? how much does it cost you for part (amp and sub) and installation? so you still using the stock head unit right?

as far as the bodi kit... if you don't have any money issue, I think you should get the RJ kit... it looks much more stand-out... and looks awesome in our color - anthracite.... but I heard some ppl have the paint matchment issue... not sure if you can get it painted from RJ .. or you should paint it outside....
Also some ppl said that it has minor fitment issue as well.... Anyway good luck on the kit, bro
