If I can find some wider barrels I plan to try and run them squared at 10.5".

haha thanks '99-6sic6. I should have taken them with my DSLR instead of my iPhone but I'll get some better ones soon. I really can't wait to get back onto my summer set up.

Thanks guys! Don't know what else to do after I install my intake, j pipe and exhaust. Probably wait for bags and shop for another set of wheels.
I wish they made the midnight chrome grill for the 12+. I'd probably change to that to match the chrome trim and lips for show as well as install the rear trunk piece.

You've got some excessive poke in the rear. Are you gonna dial in the fitment and camber it in or leave it like that?

I like it as is but it could come in a little more. its within spec is why it has the poke it does. I do have a rear camber Kit though. In person the fitment is pretty spot on with the front. Should align the front more realistically. It's right on the borderline of spec.

Since the ATLP exhaust is currently being made and out of stock I decided to go ahead and install the XLR8 V2 J Pipe last week. After install the car definitely feels quicker and had a little more tone to the exhaust. You can hear the different when your on it. I also installed the CT Engineering Ice Box intake earlier today and it went pretty smooth for the most part. Installation on both these parts was pretty quick and straight forward. After having both installed the TL is finally coming to life. Has a strong pull all the way thru the rpm band. You notice and can hear the Vtec crack. To me the $1000 was well spent. Here's a few pictures:
More to come...

I live in Seattle and it rains a lot. I need them. It's more for functionality then it is looks. But I appreciate your input. I believe they will flow great. A lot better then the weather techs.
On another note, re ordered my ATLP exhaust today since they are finally finishing up production this week. Will arrive mid week. Almost ready for HondafestNW.
Also adding the Mugen license plate bolts for a small but stylish touch.

Hope they look good Carbon! Post pics, i want a 2nd look, might pull the trigger on these as well. They looked good on Potz. Just wish we had some seamless visors, they just look much more flush and sporty.

I'll have them installed tomorrow and I'll post some pictures. Won't have pictures with my VSXX's mounted until next week before I show but I'll have plenty then to add.

OK so i installed the Well Visors today.
First impression: Packaging was good, the hooks they use work great and they are easy to install in no time. For $83 and free shipping I think they are worth it for functionality as well as looks. They also included some decals if you wish to install.
Pictures after install (Sorry car is dirty from sitting for the past two weeks and used my iPhone):
Only downside to these visors is they don't extended full to the edge of the front window so there is a slight gap. I still think they are nicer then the weather techs. Personal preference, and I will end up forgetting about it anyway. Other then that fitment is great as well as looks! The gap doesn't effect the functionality. Just an honest review.
I will have better quality shots and will be in summer mode next week so check back then for updated pictures with the Work VSXX's on. All comments welcome (positive or negative) because I don't care what other's think of my car because I know it's clean. Just hear to help other's that may be interested in the visors.

Still on the fence with them. Part of me likes it and part of me says it looks off. I would have never gotten the weather techs if it wasn't offered in a light tint. Blends in better IMO. As long as you're happy with them that's all that counts.

They aren't as nice as my Mugen visors on my TSX but they are still nice and half the price. I am happy. It was a nice touch and like mentioned before I'm from seattle and it rains enough to make these a necessity.

ATLP exhaust arrives Friday. Will be installing it and I'll post a sound clip and pictures. TL is almost ready for the car show season. Came a long way since this time last year. I only had lip kit, tinted windows and rear window spoiler.
I have also installed Mugen license plate bolts. Nice subtle touch. Only have two so I'll have to score another pair soon.

Honestly I don't even notice it anymore. They weren't expensive and do exactly what I need them to do with style.
