Winter Pics in Chesterfield and Hwy370
These are my most recent pictures as of Febuary 2011. Newest items to be pictured are my white leds I put to the sides of the ACURA logo on the front bumper,my intake manifold spacer with painted manifold,and of lastly red factory wheels.
On my way home I decided to do some sliding in the school parking lot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4fMpIfH_aA
Opened and Closed trunk gif. I'm going to try a similar one with my hood.
Thanks for looking.

i voted to put back to factory, but not quite... loose ALL of the red on the outside of the body, its too tacky. You MIGHT be able to get away with red wheels if you lowered the car, but other than that all that red has got to go , and loose the home depot lip, i have always hated that damn thing 
But i do love the pics!

Nice pictures! Some are over exposed but shooting in the snow isn't as easy as people think.
I'm not a fan of the red accents at all. The red wheels should stay but they should be gloss. The 3.2 on the grill looks tacky and the pinstripe is
I commend you for doing something different but I'm not feeling it

that should be on the list. All those other mods would just hurt the looks i think, it's like throwing a bunch of shit on the car that doesn't flow with anything. Maybe a roof spoiler would be nice and lowered off course. Your sounds system is giving you that reverse rake looks and it looks horrible.

took a couple pictures there did ya?
i don't like the red theme, or those front lights near the logo and in the grill. makes the TL look cheap and thrown together. i say get rid of the red, retrofit some fog lights in that grill, and lower it.
then clean it up, and post more pics.

UR CAR PICS TOO LOUD....NEEDZ MORE SUBTLE!
lol... good job on being original, but here is a suggestion. Most mods that can be done in under 30minutes with parts from an everyday autoparts store, WILL ONLY MAKE UR CAR LOOK CHEAP. Think about it, if you can do it in under 30 minutes.... so can any civic owner. (example... all the pinstripe tape) Its the more time consuming mods that will make your car stand out in a good way. For 1, I think the wheels look really good. The system in your trunk looks like you spent some good time installing & fitting the custom carpeted cover.
Im not saying ur car is cheap... by no means, but try slowing down all the red pinstripe tape. try leaving a few select peices, like maybe just the grill.
OTHER WISE... Good Job!

I think the red wheels look OK.
Personally I would remove the 3.2 badge from the grille, loose the tinted tail lights (it would go with the red theme), lower it, and get some bigger exhaust tips since you have the Type S lip, and maybe re-paint the rear A red as well.

Personally, I like it. The only thing I would say is maybe redo the wheels to be black with a red lip and either have red lines going down the sides of the spokes or one line going down each spoke and stopping maybe an inch before the center cap then slap on some red lugs.
On the fence about the red pinstripe along the side of the car since I don't really like pinstripes, yet it works with the theme you're going with. For the 3.2 emblem...Either lose it, red it out, black it out, or make it black chrome with maybe a tint spray. Though at the same time, it does compliment the Acura emblem on the front slightly.

Also really like the look from the fogs behind the grille. Almost like the Mugen kit on the RL. Personally, would've tried to stick them on the other side of the space where OEM fogs are.

Don't like any of it, sorry.
Are you joking or being serious I can't tell? Just ruin the car some more while you're at it.
I like how you used bullet holes to block out your license plate

I'm actually serious. You and I may not have the same tastes, but I can appreciate what the OP's trying to do. If anything, I can see something he can do to make it easier on the eyes if he wants to keep that setup. Now would I personally do that? Not likely, but a black with a subtle red accent is something I like. I do like to keep things clean yet subtle.

Lose the pinstripe...I kinda like the red wheels, but I only like them covered in snow for some reason? I don't know its weird...I dont like them on dry road, but it looks cool with the snow on the tires

You know, I think he likes the attention, he really doesn't want and wont accept suggestions, he just wants to show his car.... By all means, if it floats his boat. LOL
AT LEAST WE NOW KNOW HIS INTENTIONS... I can respect that.

On a side note, I saw your car going the other direction while I was driving from Mid Rivers Mall to UMSL a few weeks ago. The red rims actually look nice from a distance.
