You're so lucky your boss compensate you for your hard work by buying you car parts, I wish my boss would do that but not happening, lol....regardless congratutation in advance and gives us your feedback when you install it. I think you're the first person ordering one with resonator and I think that's what I would do when ready.

Hi there, thanks for the order! We don't have any resonated systems available at this time, however we should be able to have one for you in about a week or so. Will that be OK?

Damn, if only all my bonuses could be paid in car parts...

I'm married so cash bonuses don't translate well to car parts, haha.

Congrats potmilkz!

was on my way back from watching dark night.. just got on the fwy, was merging left, and this fender liner came flying at me.. the car in front ran it over, shot it to me. i dodged left and ran it over on the right side of the car..

damage wasnt bad, only clear coat scratches and popped my right side skirt out.. fixed the sideskirt just now and waiting for tomorrow to buff out the scratches... it looks pretty bad when i pulled over.. but after i got home.. cleaned it up alittle with detailer.. it doesnt look that bad.

time to bust out the porter cable and some m105 tomorrow to clean it up..


by the way.. that dark night movie is cursed..

Sorry to hear about your accident. Good thing your ok and not much damage was done to your car

Is this member on AZ? I'm feeling the color matched grille. I'm still debating if I should do it or not. Would like to see more pictures of this car.

Did you have the grille wrapped in 3m clear shield after paint to avoid rock chips?

My ride is very similar to the WDP you have posted. Similar matte black wheels and dark tint. I'm also debating the color match front grill. For some reason I just don't like how it looks on the white car color. It looks a lot more natural in your black. It almost looks like a Camry to me. I think I might be better off with a different grill than the paint on the chrome. Thoughts?

oh i also ordered Rear Sway Bar just now.




since the discount code ATLP4UA8 didnt work when i initially purchased the exhaust, Marcus gave me store credit for remaining balance.

Store credit was 144.00
used ACURAZINEROCKS discount code, got 5 dollars off.

end up paying only 28.88 which is price of shipping + tax only.

good deals.

nice, I had the progress RSB on my Civic Si and it really planted the rear, pushed the car from factory understeer towards neutral. An excellent upgrade given the cost/benefit.

Very curious how you find it on the TL which i feel understeers even worse than the Si given the heft and weight distribution of it... I may follow suit.

ohh its not mandatory....

OEM end links are skinny and not that "user friendly" if you will....again am not sure if 4G has the same problem as 3G....but many 3G members notice clunking after switching their RSB's caused by the endlinks....

i for 1 was lucky the first time around but when i went to put my RSB from soft to stiff, i busted the endlinks and had to replace it....so thought of letting you know

ill double check with marcus at heel toe just to confirm.
