Nice WDP and clean engine bay. I like the Type S tail lights.

 

i called a dealer in nyc and they said $98 to put on the tail lights.

 

i called my dealer here in cali just curious on how much they would charge and they said $98 each one. i just laughed and told them no thanks. went outside and 2 hours later i had them on w/ no problems.

 

911, you can install them yourself. few hours. there is thread on how to do it.

 

they told me 98 for both of them.

 

Do tell on the chrome or polished plenum cover.....did you just have one chromed...or is there one available like this? Looks great! Kudos!

 

Nice pic in front of the bridge It'll be easy to tell where AZ members are out there on the road with the new mods like these tails being done. I'll actually be back in NYC in two weeks (christmas break) , rodneyc77.. want to meet up sometime? I'd love to see this car in person.

 

very clean looking ride man...where did you get the white engine bay cover and how much? Is it available in other colors?

 

Your exhaust tips looks so small now....

 

The intake manifold cover... I had it custom chromed at a local plater...

The engine bay covers, I had them painted body colors by a friend of mine who's a painter... what I really want is a carbon fiber one *wink* *wink* mike... lol


Yes... the exhaust tips... they look tiny... in the process of figuring something out on those...

 

Joe80055... just give me a holla... I "D" for a quick showing...

 

rodneyc77: is the A-spec rear underbody spoiler just "attached" on top of the existing rear bumper?

 

Clean looking ride. Very nice.

 

tonester: yes... the rear underbody spoiler is just tapped on top of the existing bumper and clipped and screwed in the bottom and the sides...

 

Dont they have 2 different styles of tail lights of the 07s? non-type s and the Type S tail lights?

 

Jrbn2g04AcuraTL: you're absolutely right... however, the tail lights for the non-type S you'll need the LED cluster also to install into the 04-06...

 

hey.....what kind of paint did your friend use for the engine covers??

TIA!

 

the same paint used to paint the body (exterior)... sanded the engine covers to roughen, cleaned each piece with prep-all to remove any grease etc... used flex primer (grey stuff)... then painted with based coat, pearl and then clear coat... I believe the paint supply shop gave me the paint made by PPG... It was like painting a motorcycle... it only cost me one case of beer...

 

Hey Rodney, is your car dropped any???

 

So the type s tails you dont need to swap the led clusters?

Your car is absolutly georgous! Love the color mods, especially the wheels. How much those bad boys cost?
What kind of drop are you on?

Keep up the excellent work

 

mkim12180: YES... my car is dropped... however... I never did a before and after measurement...so I don't know exactly how much... I just wanted the car to look evenly lowered in the front and the back and I got close enough... BTW Koni Sport (neuspeed) Shocks & Eibach Pro kit Springs...

ubnpast: Thanks... 1. you don't need to buy new LED clusters for the Type S lights... just reuse your old ones... The wheels were not that bad.... got them at a decent price under 2K with tires... They are going to be up for sale soon....

 

rodney you coming coming to the meet, i want to check out your ride

 

car looks sick dude, nice job.

 

YES SIR!!!.... I'm coming to the meet on Sunday........ See you there!!!.......

 

rod-- so i just want to be clear.... for the 07 tail lights,,,, all you need to do is swap the covers?
no need for the light cluster switch.??

thank for your reply

 

sistim: all you need to do is buy the 07 Type S tail light Covers... then when you remove the tail lights on your car 04-06... you swap the LED cluster from your car to the Type S covers... and you're done...

 

Note to self....(not really)....4 sets of TL-S tails on ebay at 8p....now down to 2 sets.....Acura of Escondido just listed em at 5p. Lets see if they last to 11p cause its almost 10 now...lol. Grab em while they are hot cause they appear to be going quick!

 

Still two sets....wow....cant believe they havent sold out yet being how hard they are to get! Something tells me tomorrow will be the day then...lol...but you KNOW they are gonna get snatched up!

 

Gone....before midnight.

 

edgy and masculine ... i like!

 

hey rodney, where is the meet at? i want to see everyone's car. thanks.

 

One more thing, how easy is it to reinstall the aspec kit? I'm pretty sure I can do the taillight replacement but I have no experience with the kit....help

 

Target in Edgewater 2pm

 

thanks.

 

really easy to reinstall the rear A Spec kit... make sure you have rubbing alcohol (to clean) and extra 3M double sided tape (from Autozone or Autoparts Store) to re-attach the kit...

 

dam i wanna hit it.. keep it up man..

 

rodneyc77,

Can you take more pictures of the rims in different angles? I'm thinking to paint mine black like yours. Thanks.


foot.

 

No problem... foot... It's gonna be hard to do 'cause of the rivets... when I first got mine I was going to get them painted WDP, but, the body shop didn't think they could do a great job maintaining the chrome rivets... I think that they were just too lazy 'cause they could only charge but soo much to paint a wheel...

PS: I have two extra wheels I'm gonna be selling soon... let me know... you might want to up-grade...

ALSO please check this link... http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?i...lenz+%2D+Black

 

If you don't mind, why are you having two extra wheels? Are they exactly the same size as the other 4? Thanks.

 

yes they are exactly the same size... I live in NYC and the roads aren't the best... so when I purchased the wheels I puchased six (6) just in case of something... I didn't want to be rollin' on a spare or a stock while I order a new one... (or they completely stop making them... you know these aftermarket companies)...

I've decided that I'll be changing-up the look for '07... so I don't need them anymore...
