Great job Brian...see, I wouldn't piss you off on purpose and spoil it. So, uh hummm...was I right or was I right about the guys at Acura?!?! Most of the young guys there are cool and are also into cars. I'm sure they enjoyed the work.

PS...you coming out to the meet we got going this Saturday morning?! At Vista View Park?!? I think Eric and Andre probably will be there.

Eventually I'll convince him to let JNC do his headlights too...

Hmm...1, Brian is a MUCH bigger perfectionist than me. 2, after my attempt at doing the center console garnish, i have major doubts about my vinyling skills!

I'd gladly give him a hand though!

Nexson

I don't want to be a poser, but then again the '12 AWD comes with my same tips, so I will honestly research it and check the price on it.

It is a great stance, good luck with yours!

Wait till you see it in person.

Thanks!!! Certainly is!!

go for it, TL has potential, ugly car stock, no doubt!!
No passengers in the back but I jacked the front way up and the back tires tuck under the quarter panels when it is jacked up. The roll cleared about alot more room then I expected.

I thought I was, glad i don't. Might just keep the chrome trims, if anything I will buy an extra set of chrome trims and play around with them. don't want to go over tacky. I plan to paint the rear trim the same color as the wheels.

Nexson

I would love to but honestly I have more work then I can handle. I have to take Wednesday off from work just to get some work done for some customers.

Thanks!!

your turn to go lower!

Thanks! You don't know until you know I guess and I didn't know what to expect to be honest.
Yea, we will see, Just want something OEM looking.

haha I know I had to eat my words on the fender rolling but won't eat them on the headlights, I am keeping them stock for sure.

Got any viynl left over? black?

iTrader: (6)

No sir, I have some of the "brushed aluminum" which looks like crap, and a little carbon fiber left, which I wasted trying to do the tail light bezel.

About the headlights, YOU never know! I've said no way Jose to so much stuff...then revisited!

Brian, have you played with or figured out how to create the one piece front lip like FYAH?

was there any paint cracking at the edge of the quarter when they rolled them? i too am worried about putting vossens on my 12tech, but i like ur rear offset, cause they dont poke out obnoxiously.

i just dont wanna have to paint my quarters due to paint cracking from rolling them. ive seen a buddies car where the paint cracked badly from rolling.

and u said with this drop and fitment ur still within camber specs with no camber kits?

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

How many other 4G's have rolled fenders????

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Hey Delta, he does have camber kits, I believe...and trust me, Brian would not have had the fenders rolled if it was going to affect the paint at all. If you roll properly (see the torch and heat gun in his pic) the heat gets the paint soft and pliable so you don't crack it.

J.

krazyfiend

Brian, your 4G looks amazing! Always loved your Accord and how tastefully done it was...

... I'm seriously impressed by the outcome w/ your grill--all the work you mentioned putting into it, was well worth it. Acura should seriously take a page from your playbook in design or simply hire you on as an aesthetic consultant.

Great drop on the drop, fitment, Vossen selection, going w/ 10.5" in the back, and basically everything! Looking fwd to your future updates, even as small/light as they might be.

Cheers!

Nexson

thank you, this is a very nicely written comment, the fine words are most apperciated!!

Nexson

No paint cracked, just the very end of the quarer panel where it meets the bumper tampers in a little, but no cracked paint, I would FREAK!

Everything is within spec, I have front and rear camber kits, toe and caster as well for the rear.

This is a hot ride. Hoping to pick up a TL this week

Your setup is insane. In a good way. Do people stare at your car now?

Nexson

I was in a different neighborhood yesterday because I am looking for houses and this younger guy was washing his car, and he saw my car coming and he started staring, then I see him starting as I am driving away and past him, staring until I was completely out of sight LOL staring as if he just saw Sofia Vergara, made me feel so good.

Have you given any though to painting the trim on the bottom of the trunk body color?

Pete2010

trying to get the paint code off the wheels to match the rear.

You're my hero.

potmilkz

so hows that bumper coming along?

Nexson

Thanks forthe comments guys, bumper won't be revisited for a while guys, too busy working on other people's stuff and have lot interest in the project.

B.G.

This pic equals perfection Seriously if I didnt need my Tahoe to tow, id scoop a 4G. You guys are making them look soo good!

Acc-Rite

lost interest!? last time you thought you were good, you came back 3 months later w/ teasers lol btw, what happened w/ the EDFC?

Nexson

Lost interest, nothing is LIKE OEM

Anyways EDFC is old, never installed.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

^^^Using that logic you'd still be rocking the stock grill!

You shall revisit, you put too much money into it to NOT give it another whirl! Or do it and sell it.

About the rear grill...it'll look great. Buy enough for when i convince you to spray your chrome trim that color. Save you a trip.

Might take the EDFC from you if I ended up getting a 4G TL this month. Huge transformation with the new wheels Brian. I remembered last year getting new wheels was not on your plans.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

and that's why we're holding out for him to have a change of heart on the rear bumper skin AND his headlights. We shall see!

^^^not gonna happen...do they offer those wheels in 19s?

Nexson

I usually eat my words, this whole car was supposed to be stock with the exception of the grille, which is what I never really liked and never considered OEM in the first place because it was ugly and out of place, which isn't really an "OEM move" on Acura. So it started by me painting it, then I saw a few rides on here lowered, then I saw the wheels. The grille modificaton on only came from the '12 releasing that new front end. Maybe a few minor changes in the future but I am happy with my car as is. A certain amount of features need to stay on the car, so that it is truly still the same car, when too many things are changed, IMO, the car loses its integrity.

At any rate, the EDFC is sold, so sorry =) I might update later with a few accent changes, like the rear trim, but that's about it folks, don't make me eat my words!
