Thank you fellas...
Austin, if you end up touching stuff up, I'd be curious to see it anyway. If you DO end up creating the Flickr account (I was VERY against it when Sean told me to, it's less user friendly...but now that I see the difference in quality, it's well worth the extra time), there's a way for us to become friends on it, and then you can tag pictures of me that show up in my photostream.
If not, just email me all the rollers of mine (I love them ALL!) and a couple of our cars together to the email I texted you. Depending on size, try and keep them under 5 Megs each. I'm near my limit at work. Then I can upload them to my own flickr and/or touch up a few of them.
Overall, I LOVE though...first TRUE rolling shots of the car that I have.
I keep hearing your rage monster building as you tried to explain to Betty how your rims were NOT like her Aspecs.
She's fun...she likes to get a rise out of people, although...I'm pretty sure to her, she sees similar color and anything 5 to 15 spokes and assumes it's the same rim. LOL. Then she was like "oh...you get mad easily, I see why they taunt you." Great times...

Stock tips are staying, I'd just bring them out to the edge of the bumper so it's flush. And most I'd do is a j-pipe. Can't afford anything else.
But...I still have a warranty. Don't want to void anything having to do with the powertrain.

Edit: Austin I was going to recommend that you just extend the tips

Austin, i wish you had longer tips
in all seriousness, do extend out the tips and get a jpipe...DO NOT DO a stage 2/3/4/5435 mod with the jpipe as it will add rasp/drone....

stage III was awesome...no drone, no rasp.
adding the jpipe added rasp but no drone.
adding the HFPC's made it slightly worse in that it had more of a "range" in the rpm band that I heard rasp.
adding the rv6 true dual killed it all and made rasp go away and added a MILD drone...so mild that you have to really listen for it.
If i were to go back, I'd have tried that longer bodied dynomax that THEMACHINE just added that stopped the rasp.
...then again, you all know I don't know the difference between drone and rasp!
Austin...that upper only grill being blacked out is really growing on me. It really visually brings the front of the car down and pointing forward instead of up. If that makes sense...also, still no condensation!? I would have expected a LITTLE at least.
About the visors, I was always VERY firm on a NO for them. I hated them and didn't care to be all "JDM YOOOOO". But after putting the knock offs on the car, and loving it, and then going with OEM...I've been VERY happy. It adds some texture to a rather bland combo of black on black on black...it's aesthetically pleasing.

Can't get used to those old shots, everytime on this page, I scroll slowly slowly haha too good
Austin are you going to finish the grill frame? I actually like it like that, V style
Looks different
Edit: I don't know why but I want to see Austin's TL different.
Try just the roof spoiler
and different fogs I don't know

^Agree
Practice, practice, practice
Do you use Nikon Capture NX2 ? Nice program
Don't know if there is still ACURA letters left on the trunk but invisible glass spray works well. No need to use nail for every mm
