great mod KB1!
I also chose schewart sc1 for my CBP except mine are 19s, just have them installed today, but I am having problem finding the hub rings, mind I ask what brand you use and what is the dimension for the hub rings? I need to order them soon.

Overall I think it looks great, as you get close up, I think that's where you notice some things are off. The ronjon sides aren't flush with the quarter panel, the color is more white then pearl. The actual side skirt looks a bit bulky if you will. The front lip sort of bows up in the middle, making it look a bit weird from the side, almost like a boat. I also noticed that that the front lip isn't flush really with the sides of the bumper. Maybe it is because it is a '12 on a 09-11. Again though looks great overall, it is just I am a bit nit-picky.

KB1Spec,
How is your roof vinyl holding up?

Thanks for the compliment. Kit was not 100% direct fit. So there were some hit and misses. Side skirts was kind of stick out because it is ABS Plastic plus it goes over the original side skirt. Front bumper lip there were some gaps and I have to seal it up with some silicone. Supposely the front bumper was meant for the 09-11 since the center line of the bumper are more sharper, the 12 - up front center is not as sharp as it is. Paint is a little off because it is hard to replicate pearl white plus it needs to sit outside of the sun so it will blend in. Yes I did installed a set of puddle lights and it took some times for me to figure out which wires to wire it up since I have to contact Honda America for the diagram for the pin for the interior dome light.
As for the roof vinyl after 1 year of usage, it held up pretty good. No scratch or what not. So I would recommend the matte vinyl over the glossy vinyl.
Other than that I am in the process of adding the carbon fiber side skirt extension and also the carbon fiber center splitter from the ron jon kit
As for the wheels, I didnt us a hub centric ring because Works Wheel made certain 5x120 for Japanese or European vehicle. Spec of my wheels are 20x8.5 front and 20x9.5 rear. Originally it was off my 2008 Acura RL

Beautiful-I agree about the stripping. It takes away from the lines of the car.

KB1, I saw your car on the 101 fwy yesterday afternoon. Traffic was bad so I was driving right next to you for awhile (black MDX).
Anyways, your car looks amazing. My wife was even impressed with your car and asked me what kind of car it was. I told her it's a white TL like my car. Haha. She was shocked.
She won't let me mod my car too much but after seeing yours, I might be able to get H&R springs and the body kit...thanks to you!
