FYAH, Do you ever hear any slight clunking noises occasionally over bumps when you have the EDFC at firmer settings? Like on level 6 and under. I've read online that it's normal but I don't know because this is my first car with coilovers.

Not sure what specific lights you're referring to...The headlights was cleared, painted gunmetal and TSX-r lens swap. The tail lights were tinted red.

I don' t think that's normal...I don't have any problems at all when i go to lower settings. Listen for where the noise is coming from and check to make sure nothing has become loose.

Thanks...The roof spoiler is very thin and short not bulky so it flows nicely with the way how the 4G back window sits down. In person it looks great and is a must have. Post up some pics when you get yours installed.

Damn... I just sent you a PM saying that I didn't like the red tails, but now seeing it on your car it's pure sex... Where and how did you put the tint on the rear tails? Also how much (if you don't mind me asking) was the cost to paint the rear trim piece?

Pete, you can get the red tail lights done by an auto window tint shop. It's basically, like tinting your car windows. The red tint that most shops have matches well with the red bumper lights....You can save some cash by doing it yourself. It's not hard just time and a little patience. Here's a link to the place you can get it from already pre-cut to fit the 4G
http://www.lamin-x.com/Acura-TL-09-T...rs-p/ac214.htm
Glad i could be of service and i don't mind sharing info and prices...To paint and install the CBP rear trim was a 2 day process. 1 day paint and the next day install. The total was $100.00 for painting and installation. i guess the cost depends on where one is located....The rear of the 4G looks so much cleaner with the all red tail lights and color match rear trim.

IMHO it will look nice on light colored 4G's such as White Diamond Pearl (WDP), Palladium Metallic (PM) etc. on dark colors like CBP the all red looks more cleaner. My .

777mycoolangelo, now you got your tail lights done in red we look like twins from the rear .....Yeah am waiting to hear what the XLR8 exhaust sounds like when they released them which should be soon. That's the only Exhaust setup right now for the SH-AWD.

I hope 777coolangelo doesn't mind but I took his pic and cleared the turn signal area. (please let me know if you want me to remove the pic). It looks great and I would really like to know where to get the film and a possible diy

Nanos, that looks pretty good....hmmmm making me think...HA! Although if you do that...make sure to get LED amber bulbs so it also looks clear. But you have to make sure also to get Resistors so the hyper blinking doesn't happen.

You can get the the film from here: http://www.lamin-x.com/

It's just like putting on window tint. If you don't have the time and patience. Any local auto tint shop can do the red tint tails for you.
