I used 255/35/20, provided you aren't slamming the car and need a little but more clearance is go that route

The difference would be a 10 mm wider tire is all.

you have to open up your headlights and use duplicolor high heat temp paint and paint the reflector bowl. the side that is not facing the projector.

I did a search, but am still not sure...

What size is the bulb that goes in the headlight side marker? I'm going with LED's once I have my headlight s done.

picked this up for $180 today.
its a damn good deal considering the front grill alone is more than 180. I was going to buy new parts but i said fuck it. Used is the same thing. These are in good condition, all tabs are in tact and no chips.

now waiting to pick up a new bumper and new front lip then all will be into paint.

WOOT

Great pickup man, I've been debating this "upgrade". I think I found one of the lower grill portions for about that price.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing it all installed. Seems like it's been a while since your car has had some changes.

the 09-11 rear is better than the 12+... so you will have the newer front end, with the better looking rear..

nice. can't wait to see the end result !!

Got my front bumper today locally at a acura dealer for for cheaper than what i could get from our acurazine vendor.. 290 + tax lol

waiting for the front lip to come in, i had to pay extra 10 bucks on that compared to other vendors, all in all i spent 693 all together today at acura. I added 4 quarts of transmission fluid.

total spent, 900 bucks or so on the front end.. another 300 for paint on the front grill and bumper.. in the next two weeks. still need to test fit the bumper to make sure it fits all good
