Aspec Kit and 19's

Added the kit and some new wheels to my car. Glad I no longer have a naked Aspec, I must say, the "carbon fiber" inserts look a lot better than I expected. Most of the kits I see are dull and grey-ish in color. I just added a bit a plastic conditioner and it really made the weave pattern "pop".

I also re-did the black vinyl wrap on my Grille and Window trim. The original job was done about a year ago and it started peeling.

Anyway, here's a few pics.

Looks good! I like the aerokit. How wide did you go with the wheels?

Think they're Acura Wheels. Center caps say "A".

Making assumptions makes an ass out of you too my friend. I specifically asked if they were VORDOVAN because I know people who deal with them and OP could probably get a hook up with some nice looking center caps but fuck it I guess. And frankly you're the one who sounds like a snob right now. Go back to crying about the noisy suspension you dont fix.

Judging by the center caps and OPs reaction I doubt it.

I like the kit a lot OP. Really makes the aspecs stand out. Have you considered going lower yet? You may lose some of the "flush" stance if you go lower but a little bit of spacers would make it look on point again. Also showing all the haters 19s can look great. I want to rebuild my Works to 19 someday :,\

Actually, my wheels stick out pass the fender a tad bit. Once it's lowered, and maybe get some negative camber, it should tuck in nicely. No spacers needed.

I'll play around with it, we'll see how it goes.

I think you're high enough that you'll camber in enough to either need spacers or upper camber adjust to bring them back to flush.
Jon...he didn't mention you! He said wheel snobs!

Dafuq does Jon have to do with wheel snobs?

lmfao No you ridicule me because you have nothing better to do and you enjoy seeing people squirm on the internet.

ILXdyna and I have already traded words before so them calling me a snob is anything but a simple joke.

Dyna. You fix your suspension yet?

if I could change one thing, it would be camera perspective. I know you're trying to show us the wheels, but would love a farther away pic!
