Awesome, I was looking for wheels like those when I started my little build. Never found them

I always thought the more-spokes look looked great on an RL. Hopefully when I finish lowering it it will look half as decent as yours

I love the non-yellow tail lights. I might have to do the mod but I don't want to break anything and cause major damage.

Blah

Yup I went on there a week ago to look a few things up. Cheapest one that wasn't yellow was $195 for the left one. After calling a few places, I learned that many of the ones going as 04 (even with the manufacture date of late 02 and 03) are still being sold as ones with the yellow lenses. And many of the posts involved cars that were not even at the yard anymore.

btw, while searching for "04 Acura tail lights", this little gem came up lol

Looks good, but the rear needs to come down more... but that is my personal opinion.

The new brake caliper parts and shopping for the slotted rotors as well... once you start working, as usual, it's difficult to stop
