Nearing all blacked out status


Exhaust finally completed

Will probably move onto black wheels at some point in the future. Ceramic coating coming this weekend, will definitely have more pics to come. Also, not sure if I should redo the tailights and make them actually black instead of a darker grey. Will eventually get 2 piece, black racing brake rotors as well.
For those of you curious, red leather interior with carbon fiber inserts in the center console and door panels. 15% window tint on all sides with 70% on the front windshield.

Keep the dark taillights as black is too much man. Looks great.

Cleaned them, sand papered the chrome down, wiped em off, then spray painted a few coats of black high temp Rustoleum (2000 degree) before finishing with a few coats of gloss black engine enamel spray paint (500 degree). Let dry for about 18-24 hours

Finally finished the tinting of the side marker lights and tinted the front plate covering the Acura Logo. Other than the black rims (who knows when I'll get them, wallet isn't happy currently), appearance additions are complete! Probably should've given it a good cleaning before taking these pics but it was a beautiful day out and I figured why not?

Edit: Also forgot I'll do 2 piece racing brake rotors as well in the future which will give the rotors a darker look and they won't be as shiny. But I consider that a performance upgrade as well. Haven't started that yet.
