I will say it again, I am in love with the center caps
Pictures look great, I mentioned that before I think

Height? Meh, car looks perfect currently. I don't care if it got higher, love the rims and it's color

Yes CF pieces begs for a bigger exhaust tips since makes the opening look bigger.

Love your car
Now to the head/taill lights

Godamit my activity level is keep dropping
I contemplated doing clear headlights, but on the silver, I don't want it...I love the amber contrast. Thanks Meko, I love the car very much, glad to know you approve!

I'm not feelin' it.
Know something funny, I TOTALLY thought you'd be the ONLY guy to say you loved them lol...

PLUS, they are real thin CF so they're not perfectly molded, the intended install is to have drilled holes in the bumper and used nuts/bolts to affix which I wasn't willing to do. Too much work for something I was iffy on. Already got my refund!

Thanks, guys!
yeah, Betty's eyebrows are what sealed the deal when I met her. She's got that bitchy look, while being kinda sweet behind the scenes. Instant

Mmmm...Betty.

Great pics, J. Wish I had some camera skillz.

What front lip is that? I haven't specifically searched for you on s2ki yet. Do you have a build thread there?

Turns out, I'm not Moon Rock, I'm Silverstone. Found the paint code the other day!

Steven, Will do!

Dennis, STFU! (I still have and love em, man...) it's like with the Aspec, I LOVE the oem wheel, one of the best Honda has offered, but I couldn't help but feel like it looked like all the other ones I see! I will probably end up swapping back and forth with those and/or selling the TE's when the time comes.

Dave, yes sir...it's in the "build" section of the gallery. Traffic there is really only in certain locations. Great information on that site but it's not like AZ, that's for sure. Congrats on joining the club. You won't regret! Silverstone is great too...I just LOVE moonrock!

and @ the MMMM BETTY. She always gets a kick out of it. I said, well, you're hot...she's like, no, I don't think he thinks so...I think he's just used to saying it now...I said, NO, he probably still thinks you're hot.

I love how she says F*ck it and just sits in the car playing on her phone while you pull over for photos. Those wheels look good, but something about the OEM wheels that just look right on it.

LOL...don't hold your breath on the pics, bud...he's cheap with em!
Yeah, again, I still OWN both sets of wheels and I absolutely love the look with either set...probably rock out on the TE until the tires start going, then swap the oem back on. Either way, the spacers are set.

Nice new pictures J...my honest opinion tho as an old school guy...the wheels that don't really have the same proportions as the wheel well or when the car is lowered a lot don't do it for me. Of course, your car, your taste...even with that the S2K looks great!

Good points Gary...is it more the wheels, or the height that make you say that? I don't know why, but I have a hard time with it being raised any more than that. If I were to go higher up, I'd probably go back to the spring/shock combo in the attic and resell the buddy club coilovers. We'll see, for the most part, I am a craigslist ad away from selling the wheels/coils and going back to the stock wheels with the springs and calling it a day. But I know myself, I'd see an awesome picture and miss the look!

I did finally put a mental nail in the hard top coffin...this car is a convertible...and my 2nd car. I have decided that I do NOT miss the hard top.

I have a constant internal fight between Murika more is better Jeremy and Minimalist Jeremy.

I'd miss the fuck out of my wheels and height if I did.

Speaking of which.

EDIT: just saw the pix and

before buying the TL, back in 2007, I was debating between the S2K and 350Z and was leaning towards the S2K....but with my family here, I opted for a 4 door and ended up getting the TL...now I will have to wait a couple years before I can enjoy a sports car....enjoy her in great health mah man....
