...however, you could be right about them being for the loss if they end up not fitting for whatever reason. We shall see.

That's good to know. I wish OMP would post pics of his setup. I'll end up driving around with this bumper, and on certain occasions i'll throw the versus on for shows or nice weekends for car meets.

Wow I just realized you don't have a crashbar.. I guess you had to remove that crash bar for the FMIC huh? There was no way of putting it behind or infront of it?

The possibility that you think it looks strange to you is because.. either
a) The black portion in the bumper. Personally I think if the bumper was all white it would look nicer.
b) The bumper no longer has a big opened 'mouth' in the center.

Also post pics of canards on the bumper! I always wanted to see canards on the oem bumper[with or without aspec under-spoiler].

haha i thought you of all people would like to see this kit! Install day is coming up, so we'll find out if it fits.

Have you driven your car around yet with the new kit and rims?

Yeah the front impact beam was directly in the way of where the intercooler needed to go, so unfortunately it had to come off in order to allow room.

The front bumper looks weird to me mostly because there is no lip on it. I sold the aspec lip the other month, so i'll just drive around without one.

I think i've got a pic of the canards somewhere, maybe i'll post it up.

You expect me to remember something? What have you been smoking? Oddly enough, I do remember this, though...and being such an ingenius thing, I'm sure I brought it up .

Actually, I did think about this shortly after I got the car while looking at some other cars that have this feature stock. I came to the conclusion that for my needs, it was pointless, but given the design of the TL, it would be easily accomplished.

To my knowledge, none have successfully executed a turbo install.

BBK is nice.

Thanks, i'm excited! I think we probably discussed it at one point or another.

whoa whoa whoa....don't u ever stop?!! sick brakes
haha naw. Thanks.

Your car has always been one of my favortie 3rd gens.
I feel honored.

Yes sir automatic all the way. Enduring as in i don't know how in the hell it still works, but it does. As for the bumper, i was lazy and never went to go pick it up. I was lucky it was still there.

eric, you planning to do the bbk install by this saturday's meet?
Sup Vinny, the install is scheduled for friday, so if all goes well, it'll be on for the meet.

wtf they had them instock. damn I should have gotten those for brakes damnit. if you cant get them to fit dont modify them sell them to me.
Yeah, IN STOCK! how amazing is that? It's only a 13inch rotor so theres a chance it will fit inside your te37. If they don't fit, i'll let you know.

you know, we should have all already known that the TL and TSX kits are compatible, because when you purchase the Rotora BBK, it sames Accord / TL / TSX on it... duh!! I was looking at some old invoices from Excelerate, and he also listed my kit as Accord/TL/TSX

post some pics!!

The install was a success. We got the rotora stainless steel lines to work as well. The project mu ones weren't gonna cut it according to the nipple inside the thread housing. I've got a few pics from the install, i'll go ahead and post some up for now.
