WDP Type-S Introduction

Hard to not like the 3G, even harder to not love the Type-S!
Ordered 3rd/4th Gear Pressure switches last week
Ordered Evap Solenoid for Gas Cap Loose message
Getting fluids changes in 2 weeks

Been cleaning paint and glass all week. It was completely covered in water spots. Headlights were in tough condition, buffed out windshield wipers arms, window seal trim, black fog light housing, etc. Have to clean and re-grease side view mirrors. Bottom line it just needsome maintenance and tlc, and I'll give it to her.

interested in adding:
roof spoiler
tints
ASpecs
LED fogs
window visors

I have added:
LED interior lights/back up lights
Vinyl bumper inserts
Acura valve stems

I have lots of pictures to start lol. We all love 3G pics

Mean
Valve stems look expensive.
Stem
Testing leds
Led interior. Has a sharp clean look
Working on setting letters
Anybody seen my bumper plugs lol

Getting clean for install/headlight lenses look good too
Very dirty
Look at the difference halfway through
After lenses cleaned
Clean
Side shot

Waiting for me

sold it. I liked the interior of the 4G. Although the bottom part of the driver seat was too narrow, so I was always shifting my butt over to the middle. I wasn't ever in love with the styling. I couldn't do a base after having SH-AWD so I was only gonna buy a Type-S.

Not bad...I paint my "TL" that is sideways on the floor mat. Maybe try that too and consider arranging the "Type S" badge with the painted "TL".

These
are not super super bright as that was not the look I was going for. But they do the job and keeps the car looking stock.

If you want ridiculous bright get these which I have for the reverse lights
